Martabak Ok — Restaurant in Philadelphia

We enjoyed trying out martabak/murtabakwe had searched for Indonesian desserts because I was craving all the insanely delicious sweets I have had in Indonesia. As it turns out this place sells only martabak, so we ordered one with Nutella that was served in a takeaway box. They also had the savory version but we had already had lunch.

We had reached the shop via by city bike, so packed it up and continued on our way. Big mistake: we didn't pack it upright so when we opened the lid it was really a mess.

I came all the way from New Jersey to give this place a try but was shocked when they informed me the wait will be 45 minutes and then was told I was supposed to call in ahead to order. Ummm how wqs I supposed to know that??? If that is the case, they could've at least stated that in their website. But the quality of the martabak is one of the best you can find in US. And hopefully as time progresses, they will improve. I wish...
