Every Tuesday, Anastasia Dewi Tjahjadi, who co-opened the store with two different ladies in 2007, serves one dish and one dish only, and every time it’s a flavorful and heartfelt culinary tribute to the country she left in 1999. One week, it could be soto betawi, a slow-simmered beef and coconut milk soup aromatic with lemongrass, galangal and makrut lime and shot via with tender bits of tripe and tendon. The subsequent, it might be nasi pecel, a platter of rice ringed with steamed vegetables and topped with an impossibly aromatic peanut sauce.
