After our Santa Monica side trip, Jet came over our room to hang out for a bit. We were also deciding what to do for dinner. I remembered the other night when we went for Malaysian, Jet mentioned they chose the restaurant because it was closer to the hotel and also it was similar to Indonesian. The Indonesian place they normally eat at (Java Spice) was too far and too small to accommodate a party of 60. So I suggested the place to Jet. Many of us have never had Indonesian food before, and this was a perfect time to do it with the Hartonos in town to take care of the food choices.


The closest Indonesian restaurant was way out in Rowland Heights and it was well worth the trip as it was the best meal of the trip up to this point. Overall, the food was very similar to Malaysian or Thai, but a little different. For more details and comments, visit the Picasa album. Java Spice was a mom-and-pop restaurant, which made it very authentic. The service was extra good, probably because half of us were Indonesian... it always helps! The environment was a bit cheap looking, but clean and well-maintained.
