"Indonesian restaurants have always been rare, though in past eras (the ’90s, for example) we had more of them. One of the newest, and most highly recommended for cheap eats, is Awang Kitchen in Elmhurst. Start with gado gado, a vegetarian salad of tempeh and lontong (compressed rice cakes) in a delightfully thick peanut sauce. Beef rendang (chunks of meat cooked down in massive quantities of coconut milk) and young goat satays are further highlights of a menu that runs off the rails when it gets to sushi." - Robert Sietsema
