Lunch @Adem Ayem

I checked out Adem Ayem cafe recently for lunch with a couple co-workers. Adem Ayem is a very small mom-n-pop Indonesian cafe located in a strip mall on the 99W just south of Hall Blvd. There are only 3 or 4 tables. Ordering is done at the counter.

The menu changes daily.

Beef redang (dry beef curry) with steam rice, sauteed veggies, sambal. The sambal was great–bright, spicy, vibrant, with a hint of fishiness. The tender beef, when pressed slightly with a fork, shredded into sublimity, and the curry sauce was delicious. Comfort food.

One thought on “Lunch @Adem Ayem

  1. That’s a strange coincidence! I went to check them out today. It used to just be a Vietnamese Sandwich Shop and it was good enough, and shortly after I discovered them they became this and I haven’t had a chance to look into the name change. Oddly enough, today they have a sign up that says they are closed until March 6th (I think) so I couldn’t try it out. But I’d say it doesn’t bode well. Wouldn’t it be great if they stayed though?
