Chinese restaurants in Bandung

Jalan Kelenteng, the new Chinatown in Bandung.

Chinese foods are known for their pork dishes, but many Chinese foods in Indonesia are halal. Most of the Chinese restaurants in the shopping malls put signs of no pork and no lard on their menu. Anyway, as a precaution, if you want halal food, you'd better ask beforehand. Even if the restaurant serves pork, they usually have the beef and chicken version of that particular dish.

For years, Queen International Restaurant Bandung at Dalem Kaum street no. 79 is famous for being the best Chinese food restaurant in Bandung. It specializes in Chinese Canton dishes. 

Another well-known Chinese restaurant is Mandarin restaurant. It opens in two locations: at Kebon Kawung street near Bandung train station and in the center of Lembang. Its water spinach hotplate is so tasty! The water spinach is fresh; the beef chunks are tender and served with several boiled quail eggs on a sizzling hotplate. 

One particular Chinese food you can easily find at Jalan Kelenteng Bandung is pork Char Siu (chasu, chashao, or char siew). Here in Indonesia, we call it Babi Panggang (pork roast in English). You might also want to try Ambokueh, a Chinese cuisine sold in a food cart at the temple gate.
