Prof,
When you mentioned about Restaurant Sederhana (Padang style) in Jogja, I’d remember the same restaurant in Bali at http://idristalu.blogspot.com/2009/06/bali-visit-july-2006-third-day.html.
They used special rice imported from Solok (West Sumatra) and they called it as “Bareh Solok (silent k)”. Bareh in Minang means rice.
The restaurant looks quite simple but decorated with attractive traditional painting. The most important thing is the food – delicious!
Have a nice trip to Jogja.
Yes, it is the same restaurant and same recipe. It was just fantastic having the opportunity to taste the nasi padang
