Good to Know
- Lunch rush hits between 12-1 PM when office crowds descend. Early or late lunch works better.
- Point at what looks good on the table spread—that’s the whole fun of it. No menu reading required 🍛
- Most spots charge per plate you take, so pace yourself even though everything looks tempting
- The sambal is serious business. Test a small amount first if you’re heat-sensitive 🌶️
