Located
in
Alhambra,
California
is
the
unique
Borneo
Kalimantan
Cuisine
Restaurant.
It
is
near
E
Main
Street
and
N
Garfield
Ave
with
free
covered
parking
only
a
block
away.
The
restaurant
is
humble
but
quaintly
furnished
with
brightly
colored
door
motifs
and
interesting
knick-knacks
depicting
the
Indonesian
lifestyle.
The
restaurant
is
small
but
very
clean
and
the
staff
make
you
feel
immediately
welcomed.
As
we
reviewed
the
menu,
we
discovered
that
many
of
the
food
items
look
very
familiar
to
other
Asian
dishes;
however,
after
trying
them,
it
was
enjoyable
to
discover
that
their
flavor
profile
are
very
different
from
those
other
dishes.
We
started
off
with
the
“Es
Cendol”
dessert
drink
and
“The
Tarik”
iced
milk
tea
with
grass
jelly.
Both
drinks
were
sweet
and
refreshing.
Next,
we
tried
the
Roti
Prata,
which
is
advertised
as
a
pan-grilled
pancake
with
a
Borneo
inspired
dipping
sauce.
The
dipping
sauce
is
similar
to
yellow
curry
but
with
a
nice
kick
to
it.
The
Roti
Prata
is
light
and
flaky.
We
also
ordered
the
Nasi
Rendang.
This
is
a
savory
beef
dish
where
the
beef
has
been
braised
in
coconut
milk,
herbs
and
spices
until
it
turns
a
rich
dark
brown
loaded
with
flavor.
This
dish
is
served
with
tofu,
boiled
egg,
coconut
rice,
and
other
tasty
side
items.
Additionally,
we
tried
the
Kwe
Tiau
Goreng
Borneo,
a
very
popular
fried
flat
noodle
dish.
All
of
the
food
that
we
tried
was
a
unique
and
satisfying
experience.
This
is
an
excellent
place
to
try
a
cuisine
that
is
refreshingly
different
from
many
other
offerings
in
this
area.
