The Best Restaurants in Portland, Oregon’s North Tabor Neighborhood | Eater Portland
"Diners seeking Indonesian cuisine in town have only a few spots to choose from, but they’re all heavy hitters. At Wajan, one of these proud few, find classic dishes beloved by chef Feny from her childhood as well as some of Indonesia’s best-of recipes, served in an art-filled, atmospheric dining room with murals of island scenes. Meals start with snacks like spicy peanut and anchovy mixes before segueing to main events like the nasi uduk — a flower-like arrangement of turmeric-peanut pickled vegetables, stir-fried tempeh, and a chile-coated hard-boiled egg surrounding a pillow of coconut rice. The braised beef rendang sapi with a shallot-and-green-onion omelet also hits the spot, and the housemade sambals enhance all meals. Inspired by Balinese wurang store-and-restaurant establishments, Wajan also sells to-go goodies like bags of crunchy Taro Net potato chips and Pagi Coffee Merchants beans for diners to take home." - Zoe Baillargeon
