Hardena Waroeng Surabaya: An Indonesian Kitchen in South Philly
Meal Ticket recently headed over to 19145 favorite Hardena/Waroeng Surabaya (1754 S. Hicks St.) for an Indonesian buffet style lunch. Here's a look a some of the best dishes on the table.
To those unfamiliar with Indonesian fare the buffet table might look intimidating, but the bubbly and helpful woman behind the counter set the tone for the entire meal. We felt immediately welcome, seated in a slightly dim and unpretentious dining room while our hosts shuffled around the kitchen to prepare our meal.
For $7, you choose 3 dishes from the steam table, including rice and their homemade hot (like really, really hot) sauce. The woman patiently explained each dish and recommended her favorites. The collard greens stewed in coconut milk were deceptively spicy. Perennial favorite beef rendang was pull-apart tender. The watercress greens had a Chinese flavor profile and turned out to be an overall favorite. Vegans and vegetarians rejoice, the buffet has a couple tofu and tempeh dishes along with the veggie options. The lineup changes daily depending on the ingredients available, but just ask for recommendations, they will be happy to provide.
Hardena is open for lunch and early dinner, closing up at 8 p.m. nightly.
