Bandung
A busy pub restaurant, with classic rock and blues on the stereo and a comforting range of updated Western and Indo classics emerging from the kitchen. It does meatballs with fried rice, oxtail soup, chicken burgers and a delicious hot salty tofu. And it serves icy-cold beer, of course, which goes well with the big TV screens showing sport.
Plenty of foreign tourists and expats stop by, but the music can be too loud for easy conversation.
