Borneo Eatery

"Dish: Laksa Mee You can find us at Borneo Kalimantan Cuisine any time the thermometer drops below 70 degrees. Actually, scratch that, we’re there regardless of what the thermometer reads. The expansive menu at this Indonesian/Singaporean restaurant in downtown Alhambra is stacked with tremendous dishes, but it’s the laksa mee that always has our attention. This Singaporean curry soup is filled with shrimp, fish cakes, fried tofu, and marinated egg, and topped with scallions and corn for a pop of sweetness." - brant cox, kat hong, nikko duren, sylvio martins

"Look, I’m just as pissed as you are that it’s dark at 4:47pm now, but I think we can all celebrate the fact that LA’s finally decided to give winter a try. Seriously, has 65-degree weather ever felt this therapeutic? I get to sleep with bed covers on, wear socks as an actual outfit accessory, and finally curl up with a warm bowl of soup without wrecking my couch in the process. You can find great soup all over LA, but in my opinion, nothing beats the laksa mee from Borneo Kalimantan in Alhambra. Shrimp, fish cake, tofu, and marinated egg all in a mildly spicy coconut milk broth, it’s one of my favorite noodle soups in the entire city (maybe the world), and should be a staple of everyone’s winter diet. The flaky roti prata for dipping is also a must." - brant cox

"Borneo Kalimantan Cuisine, an Indonesian/Singaporean restaurant right in downtown, is where you’ll find us any time life becomes unbearable and we need a quiet pick-me-up. The expansive menu is filled with tremendous dishes like flaky prata with a warm curry dipping sauce, meaty chicken satay, and chewy hakka-style noodles with BBQ pork. But when you’re in a true time of personal need, try the noodle soups. The coconut curry-based laksa mee is pure soul-curing indulgence, and if some of your friends require similar medicine, the large dining room is great for a big group meal." - brant cox, sylvio martins
