At the food bazaar outside the Al-Hikmah mosque, sometime between my combro and my cendol, I sat down with a few fellows to talk about their idea of authentic Indonesian food. In Queens, Whitney Ave. neighbors Mie Jakarta and Minangasli each got a mention, and surprisingly, so did Bali Nusa Indah, on Ninth Ave. in Manhattan. When I asked the fellows about the best of the lot, though, Upi Jaya was the unhesitating consensus choice; from what I gathered, the others don't even come close.
