If you come to Bandung as a tourist, once you step your feet on the street and ready to explore, where do you start? Personally, I’ll start with the street food. Food carts and stands on the street side, or at the small alley have always been something interesting for me. In this post, I’ll gonna share one of my favorite street vendor in Bandung, Nasi Goreng Bistik AA.
Nasi Goreng Bistik AA located at Jalan Astana Anyar 264, Bandung and they’re open from 5 PM until midnight. The word “AA’ stands for Astana Anyar, the name of the street where they have been selling Nasi Goreng or fried rice for decades. It might be scary sometimes, considering the dark ambiance and food hygiene, but it’s actually kinda safe if you know it is one of the local favorites, even you have to queue can wait up hours on its peak time.
The signature and must try here is, of course, their Nasi Goreng Bistik or Bistik Fried Rice (IDR 20,000). The word “bistik” comes from beef steak, but don’t let it fool you because Nasi Goreng Bistik AA does not use beef at all. The east-meets-west fusion uses sliced fried chicken steak as the main ingredient. That’s right, fried chicken steak, served with steamed vegetables and fried potato wedge.
The fried chicken is actually in popcorn shapes, it’s prepared directly on the spot and fried to perfection. I personally like their fried chicken since it’s crispy outside yet tender and juicy inside. It also perfectly paired with the chili sauce and somehow it such a great combination with the fried rice and potato wedges.
Overall, this Nasi Goreng Bistik is simply unique and delicious. It tastes really good at affordable price and a perfect place to enjoy street food in Bandung, they provide you seats on the roadside since they’re literally a street vendor. Make sure you visit this place when you go to Bandung.
