In Kingsford, very close to the University of New South Wales sits a restaurant called Indo Rasa. It's by no means a new or hidden gem, but I thought for those not familiar with the area it is certainly a good restaurant to keep in mind when you are looking for cheap yet delicious Indonesian food.
The restaurant is teeming every night with local Indonesians. You when when locals are eating at a restaurant, the quality is good!
The restaurant is open and large with long wooden tables. The tables each have a traditional hot chili sauce placed and customers are served their water in a mug. This adds a coziness and homeliness to the restaurant which is a nice touch.
The menu is rich and diverse in options. Once ordered the items are given to you with little delay. Every time we go we get our coconut yellow rice, which is delicious even on its own, rich and soft and topped with fried onion. We had this with a 1/4 grilled chicken which comes with a spicy paste that is a mixture of chili, onions and garlic. Then there is the eggplant which is grilled and gooey in the middle and slathered with a rich tomato sambal. Finally we had the lamb skewers served with a rich satay sauce.
Next time you are in the area, or even when you feel like some spicy Indonesian food then keep in mind Indo Rasa.
