Nasi Gandul is a true gem of Javanese cuisine, and I had the pleasure of trying it during my visit to Java. The dish consists of perfectly cooked rice, soaked in a thick, creamy coconut sauce that’s infused with a harmonious blend of herbs and spices. The sauce is the heart of Nasi Gandul, and it’s what sets it apart from other rice dishes. Other than that, I ordered a set of Nasi Ayam. This flavorful meal consists of fragrant, seasoned rice served with succulent, tender poached yellow seasoned chicken. It’s accompanied by a medley of fresh vegetables (labu) and a flavorful sauce, such as spicy sambal or a savory soy-based condiment. Though all the meals are delicious, they are pretty small in size. Which is why another plate of Nasi Goreng Babat (famous around Semarang) and a bowl of hot Asam Asam Daging soup are on the table. This eatery offers dishes bursting with flavor and an authentic taste of Java. Definitely a must come-back.
