Kentjana

West Java


A tasteful, soulful Chinese diner with a wonderful mapo tofu on the menu (the tofu was among the silkiest we've ever had), along with a number of ethnic Chinese Indonesian dishes. All served up in a gold and red room decked out with Chinese lanterns and artfully arranged black-and-white photos of yesteryear Bogor. The house sambal rocks.
