thomas brought me to a hole-in-the-wall indonesian mini-mart in south philly that sells boxes of freshly prepared, ready-to-eat meals. i was skeptical at first, but that all melted away when i realized that the store owners speak not a word of english. oh, and the food! goreng pisang! ondeh ondeh! kway teow goreng! gado gado!! bubur hitam!! at $4-6 a box, i bought all i could carry, and will return, many times, probably with brother in tow. i can't believe that i've been suffering through fake chinatown malaysian food every time i get the urge to eat something from our part of the world.
