In the Serpong area, Warung Sunda is my top choice for the best Sundanese cuisine around.
First, they offer free refills of sambal and fresh vegetables (lalapan), which immediately leaves a great impression and showcases true Sundanese hospitality.

This is the kind of place I’ll always return to whenever I crave authentic Sundanese...
