From breakfast to late-night grub, traditional meals to innovative creation, discover the best street food stalls in Bandung, Indonesia.

SATE ANGGREK

Dozens of chicken and goat skewers line up on one long grill, giving off an aromatic smoke that teases their delicious savoury satay flavour. That’s what you’ll get when stopping by Sate Anggrek, which specialises in a delectable peanut sauce that goes with their skewers. Serving the satay you know and love, but bigger and better than most.

BUBUR AYAM PAK OTONG

This legendary chicken porridge has been around since 1947 and stays one of the most sought-after dinner options in Bandung. The aromatic porridge comes with savoury toppings of your choice: shredded chicken, chicken liver, Chinese cruller (cakwe), and add-ons such as egg, chicken claws (ceker), and different satays. Open from 6pm until after midnight, but those who come later may miss the more popular chicken toppings.

BATAGOR HANJUANG

Trust us, the modest food cart doesn’t do justice to the food’s taste at Batagor Hanjuang, which is often described as having a restaurant-grade flavour. Batagor is a must-try meal when visiting Bandung, which is comprised of fried dumplings with peanut sauce. This food cart serves rather crunchy dumplings made from a certain mackerel (tenggiri) and delicious, spicy peanut sauce.
