OK Indo – Kirula Enterprise

As other reviewers had mentioned before me, this is a tiny hole in the wall that sells Indonesian goodies. I come by here every once in a while to try out various Indonesian goodies. For the uninitiated, such as myself, I sometimes ask the staff members to recommend me items. I’ve gotten to try some sweets this way.
Lots of spices, ready made mixes, and tempeh to be had here. Every Friday or so, they also have ready made foods to go, which I’ve always wanted to try for myself, but I don’t think their items are too vegetarian friendly. Oh, and since Indonesia was once a Dutch colony, you’ll find some Dutch items here, such as chocolate hagelslag.

This is a tiny grocery that sells Indonesian products. Friendly staff! The selection is decent, not as good as Indo Java, which is nearby (Queens Blvd & Grand Ave). We only got the bubur sumsum, which is an Indonesian dessert, for $ 3.50.
They definitely need to organize their store better. The store is so small & disorganized. It’s hard for you to look around.

I’d give a four star for the selection, but a three for store organization.
This is a tiny store that sells a variety of ingredients, Indonesian snacks, as well as cooked, ready to eat Indonesian food. I was able to find a great selection of snacks to satisfy my craving (e.g., peanuts, crackers). They also sell different kinds of cooked, ready to eat food like yellow rice meal, pempek (fish cake dish), and martabak (Indonesian pancake).
I think they should do a better job in terms of store organization. Things are everywhere instead of being stored according to category. Although there aren’t that many shelves to begin with, you just have to be patient looking at what’s on each shelf. They also don’t put price labels on the items. I hope as they grow bigger, the store will be more organized.
The guys at the store are super nice though! They’re also hilarious, trying to get us to buy more and more: p So don’t forget to bring some cash with you!

This little Indonesian grocery store has a fairly small selection of useful items such as fresh tempeh and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). I’d love to see a little more in terms of herbs and spices such as galangal root, turmeric root, kluwak, etc. What makes this place worthwhile, though, is the takeout meals stacked on the counter.
I got a very tasty and authentic siomay (steamed dumplings and veggies with peanut sauce) and some roast chicken with rice and side dishes that was memorable for a tempe penyet (chili tempeh) that nearly burned my face off. I’m a fan of spicy food, and it was almost too hot for me. With a little of the chili scraped off, it was excellent. I would definitely go back for the prepared meals.
