Easy to drop in from outside the pavilion
The menu is very simple, with only these two items on it, but the appeal is the ease of purchasing directly from outside without entering the pavilion. You can use the restaurant anytime during business hours without standing in line, and ordering is relatively smooth even during peak hours.
Taste and form with an exotic flavor
The penpek is served on a bed of banana leaves, a presentation that is unmistakably Indonesian in appearance. The freshly fried penpek has a rich aroma and a slightly sour taste that invites the appetite.
Bakso kua differs from Japanese ramen in that the main ingredients are meatballs and vegetables in a light broth. It is a simple, yet heartwarming dish that evokes the warmth of an exotic home.
Moderate quantities, choose according to your appetite.
Both prices range from 1,500 to 2,200 yen, which is average for Expo prices. The portions are the size of a bowl of ramen or a small bowl of rice, so they may seem a bit small, especially for men or those who want to eat well. However, it is the perfect size to enjoy with other light meals.
