This is the common type of set menu you can find in any Sundanese restaurant. Of course each element can vary differently but basically you get rice, protein, vegetable, side dish, and (most importantly) sambal.
The anatomy of Sundanese set menu (and example) :
- Rice - plain white rice or nasi timbel (steamed white rice wrapped in banana leaf)
- Main dish (protein source) - most common are Ayam Goreng (fried chicken) or Empal (fried shredded beef)
- Vegetable - Sayur Asem and Lalap (raw/steamed veggie)
- Side Dish - Tempe & Tahu Goreng (fried tempeh and tofu)
- Sambal
