    Eat

    West Java is best known for '''Sundanese''' food, which unusually for Indonesia places a special emphasis on fresh or even raw ingredients. The quintessential Sundanese dish is '''''nasi timbel''''', which consists of rice wrapped up in a banana leaf, an assortment of raw vegetables known as ''lalapan'' (a term that covers cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, coriander leaves, cabbage and more), a freshly pounded chili sauce known as ''sambal dadak'', some tofu or tempeh and maybe a chicken leg or some salted fish. This is commonly served with ''sayur asam'', a sour vegetable soup flavored with tamarind.
