The Best Restaurants and Bars on Portland, Oregon’s Alberta Street | Eater Portland

"This Indonesian restaurant, from the same team as Wajan on East Burnside, specializes in the snacks and dishes found in the archipelago’s morning and evening markets. Snacky options include crispy items like bala-bala, savory veggie fritters, and sate padang, Sumatran steak skewers. Vegetarian and vegan options are plentiful, and you can customize your order by adding on several types of tapioca crackers, sauces, and sambals. A highlight on the menu: lontong cap go meh, a fragrant coconut-based soup loaded with jewels of rice dumplings, pickled vegetables, fried tofu and tempeh, and a sambal-saucy hard-boiled egg. Don’t skip the menu of kue, or Indonesian sweets, including putu ayu, steamed pandan cake, and biji salak, chewy sweet potato balls in warm palm sugar broth with coconut cream." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
