For such a multicultural city like Toronto, there is much to be desired when it comes to Indonesian food. Enter Little Sister Indonesian Food Bar. The first impression I had at Little Sister Indonesian Food Bar was the menu. A double sided menu printed on a tenured piece of cardboard. While some may find old cardboard menus to be offputting, I thought it was executed rather tastefully and apt for this low-key urban environment.
Having positioned myself at the bar, I had the opportunity to watch the bartender prepare this drink. And believe me, it's quite a performance! One after one I watch fresh fruits and vegetables being mulled, peeled, and shaken, into this Kintamani Punch. And the result? Summer in a cup.
I'm no expert when it comes to Indonesian cuisine, but I can say that everything here is delicious! My favourite was the Shrimp Lettuce Wrap which was a spicy combination of succulent shrimp and crunchy shallots in a refreshing lettuce wrap. The two meat dishes, Sambal Daging and Semur Java were both hefty on flavourful marinates and spices. The Krupuk Prawn Crackers with peanut sauce is a MUST ORDER. A word of caution for the delicate tongue though, some of the dishes can pack some heat!
