Los Angeles Indonesian Food | Medan Kitchen đ
This is our third time hereâwe absolutely adore this place! â¤ď¸ Todayâs order felt like enjoying Chinese food in an Indonesian restaurant in LA. So interesting and delicious! đ ăChai Kueă$7 My friend from Fujian said this brought her right back to her hometown. The filling is made with shredded white radish and pepperâsimple but full of umami flavor. The outer wrapper is soft and tender, not as chewy as har gow, and really resembles the style of Teochew or Fujian-style "guo." Did some digging and found out this is indeed a traditional snack that made its way overseas, even the name is a transliteration! 𤯠It comes with sweet chili sauce for dipping, which adds a nice kick, but itâs delicious on its own too. ăMartabak Telură$12 This stuffed pancake truly teleported me back to Asia! đŽđŠâď¸ I usually donât love scallions, but the pork and scallion filling here moved me almost to tears đĽš. There seemed to be scrambled egg mixed in tooâitâs a super Chinese-friendly flavor, and I bet my mom would love it! ăBakso Malangă$13 The bowl includes eight bouncy pork meatballs, two tofu pouches stuffed with meat, and several pieces of beef brisket. The pork balls have that perfect springy texture, and the noodles are thinâlike the kind used in Cantonese stir-fried rice noodles. The crispy bits stayed surprisingly crisp even submerged in the broth! đ The soup itself is light and not overly salty, so you wonât feel thirsty after. ăGado-Gadoă A must-order every time! We missed it last visit, but itâs back on our table this time. Creamy peanut sauce over fresh, crisp veggiesâso satisfying! đĽđĽ ăNasi Bakeră$17 Similar to the banana leaf baked rice we had last time, but this version comes with chicken leg instead of beef tendon. Perfect when youâre super hungryâcarb-heavy and full of bold flavor! đđĽ Every time we come, thereâs something new and exciting to try. This place never gets oldâweâll definitely be back! đđ˝ď¸ #LosAngeles #LAFood #IndonesianFood #Foodie #AsianCuisine #LAEats #IndonesianCuisine #HiddenGemLA #MedanKitchen #ComfortFood #Noodles #StreetFood
