Just minutes before we arrived, a heavy rainstorm hit, but thankfully, he was in the car. However, he ended up waiting 30 minutes for our meals, even though I had placed my order hours in advance. As we waited, a woman with her child stood in the rain by the truck, soaked while waiting for their food. When we finally got our order, I was surprised by the portion sizes; they were smaller than I expected. While I was pleased that the curries weren't overly spicy, I still hoped for a richer flavor. I did enjoy the salad dressing, which had a nice hint of peanut, but I had to discard the excessive amount of chilies in the salad. The lumpia and fried corn fritters were quite good, and they did their best to follow my instructions about serving rice on the side without any utensils or napkins. While they weren't able to put the rice in a separate container, they did package it in a larger one. I appreciated that they didn’t give us any plastic or paper products, as it always feels wasteful when I have reusable utensils at home. Overall, I wanted to like this place more.

I had beef rendang and asked for extra tempe, I offered to pay extra since tempe was not in included but it was given for free.Their beef rendang is delicious. They satisfy my craving for indonesian/malaysian food.

I got the vegetarian platter, which I was assured was also vegan.Half the container was salad with peanut sauce. It was okay, but not exciting.Two spring rolls that were okay.Corn fritter that was [shrug]Tofu, rice, and tempeh(? that was very, very bad, and did not taste vegan. I tried eating the rice and tofu, skipping the grey chunks that I initially assumed were tempeh (albeit not of a flavor or consistency I've ever eaten . But after a while the unpleasant taste just got to me, and I couldn't avoid the indications that something about it just wasn't vegetarian. I couldn't bring myself to try another of the grey chunks (which had a meaty look to them , and I ended up throwing the meal away half eaten. A waste of food, which disturbs me, but I just couldn't swallow any more.

I highly recommend the lamb—it's absolutely delicious! The only reason I'm not giving it a full 5 stars is because of the wait time; there’s only one person working in the truck, so there's often a line. While the 10-15 minute wait is worth it, it can be tough when it's scorching hot outside.
