Alas Daun Restaurant

Traditional Sundanese restaurant, not very big parking lot. More ideal for groups than for solo/couple. Very accomodating place for large groups. Good choice for tourist. Large tables and sturdy chairs. Adequately clean place, but there was only 2 wash basins outside, so sometimes when crowded you had to queue. And sometimes it got very crowded, especially when there were buses of tourists visiting. Not too fancily decorated, just enough to set the place in sundanese ambience. The welcoming waitress assigned a table and ushered us straight to the food tables inside. Another waitress took notes and prepared food we chose (one waitress per table). Raw salad and sambals were self-service (but not free, so take them in sufficient amount only). Very wide array of meats and vegetables and sambals was offered, you'd got difficulties to choose, believe me. Plain tea was served free in small glasses, you could ask for refill (standard Sundanese). Fish and other sea products was rather highly priced, about 25-30k per smallish piece. Sate maranggi was delicious and decently priced, also in smallish size. We paid about IDR230k total. As in the restaurant's name, our eating section was table covered by a 30cm long banana leaf, and bare hands. A unique experience for tourist :) Taste was excellent, for rather high but still adequate price. There are also some traditional snacks could be ordered from small huts lined outside, so don't forget to check them out.
