World Food Tour: Indo Spice (Indonesian)

Get ready for an exciting new stop on our World Food Tour! We're diving into the vibrant, diverse, and authentic flavors of Indonesia at Indo Spice in South Philly. This relatively new, acclaimed restaurant is known for showcasing regional specialties, particularly from Sulawesi, that you won't easily find elsewhere. Prepare your palate for an unforgettable experience that's far beyond your typical Southeast Asian fare!

Why You Should Join Us:
Indo Spice offers a fantastic opportunity to explore the rich tapestry of Indonesian cuisine. Reviews highlight its delicious, authentic dishes and the wonderfully friendly service. You'll get to sample unique and flavorful specialties like the signature Mie U.P. Noodle and the famously crispy, spicy Smashed Chicken Rice (Nasi Ayam Geprek). Other favorites include the flavorful Red Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng Merah), the savory Pork Satay, and the adventurous soups like Coto Makassar (a beef broth specialty). It's the perfect setting to step outside your comfort zone, enjoy stimulating conversation, and connect with fellow adventurous foodies.

What's the Plan?
We'll be gathering at Indo Spice to fully immerse ourselves in their diverse menu of Indonesian specialties. We will order a variety of acclaimed appetizers and small plates to share so everyone can sample a wide range of tastes, and then each person can order their own main course. This is a wonderful chance to explore the distinct sweet, savory, and spicy flavors that make this cuisine so special.

The Deets:

• BYOB: Feel free to bring your favorite wine or beer to complement the rich, complex flavors of Indonesian cuisine!
• Cost: We will plan to order some shared appetizers for the table to sample a variety of tastes, and then everyone can order their own entree. Please anticipate the total cost to be approximately $30-$40 per person (including tax and a 20% tip). Please bring cash.
• Allergies/Spice Level: Indonesian food often features sambal, a chili paste, and some dishes can be quite spicy (like the Smashed Chicken Rice). If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, or are concerned about spice, please let me know as soon as you RSVP so I can inform the restaurant in advance and help you choose milder options.
• Important: I will send a confirmation message a day or two before our visit to finalize the headcount. You must confirm by the morning of the event. If your plans change, please update your RSVP to "Not Going" promptly. This allows those on the waitlist to join us and helps me adjust our reservation accordingly.
• Parking: Indo Spice is located at 1421 West Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia. Street parking can be found in the area, but public transportation and carpooling are encouraged.

Can't wait to explore the incredible and authentic flavors of Indonesia with you!
