Griddle & Rice - Review - West Passyunk - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"As Philly’s only part-Indonesian, part-American restaurant, Griddle & Rice doesn’t need much else to stand out. But the Point Breeze counter-service spot also has an excellent menu that mixes sambal-infused flavors of Indonesian cuisine with the spirit of a traditional American breakfast. Balance the fragrant heat of the nasi uduk with the berry and whipped cream-topped pancakes, or pair the smashed fried chicken smothered in chili-loaded sambal bawang with an egg and cheese sammy. The Indonesian influence extends to the drink menu, where lychee, basil chia seeds, and milo abound, but cookie butter lattes are also available if that’s more your speed. There are only 12 seats in the cheery dining room, but you can–and should–do as the entire neighborhood does and order ahead for pickup. photo credit: Alison Kessler photo credit: Alison Kessler video credit: Alison Kessler photo credit: Alison Kessler photo credit: Alison Kessler Pause Unmute We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Alison B.
