"Everything at Indonesian snacks restaurant Pasar is big on flavor: the visually striking lontong cap goh meh, a mix of textures in a coconut broth with varying levels of crunch; the satisfying nasi goreng tek tek, a street-style fried rice. But my favorite bite here, consistently, is maybe one of the quietest dishes on the menu. The lemper ayam, essentially a square of banana-leaf-wrapped sticky rice, is wonderfully aromatic, the result of being steamed and then flash-seared on the grill, which allows the banana leaf to impart its flavor. Compared to the soy-heavy sticky rices that I grew up with (and continue to love), this one feels like pure, simple comfort." - Eater Staff
