Vendors of "meals on wheels" can be found everywhere, although different food is sold at different times of the day. For very fast food, try the fried rice (nasi goreng), fried noodles (mie goreng) or anything that catches your eye. Cooked in front of you, the meals are generally palatable but, if not, at a maximum of c.Rp.5,000 you haven't lost anything except, possibly, your taste buds. Hint: if you don't like your food drowned in chilli sauce (sambal), just say Tidak pedas.
