PrintIndonesian ingredients?
I'm on holiday in New York City at the moment and would really like to make some Indonesian food. Do any of you Serious Eaters know where I can find Indonesian ingredients (kecap manis, sambal oelek, terasi, galanga, etc.)? I wouldn't mind ordering online, as long as it arrived promptly and didn't cost the earth.
Thanks for any ideas.

Go down to the corner of Bayard and Mott. There is a place called Indonesia and Thai Grocery. It is run by a Thai man and his Indonesian Wife (though I have not seen her around in a long time, hope she is ok!). They have everything you mentioned, and, of course, a whole lot more. There are a couple of other good groceries in the vicinity, but none so focused on Indonesian products.

Thanks so much for the suggestion, pemabuk. That sounds like exactly what I am looking for. I'm not entirely sure where that is, but I will find out and head there tomorrow!

You also can go to Topline grocery on Broadway in Elmhurst. Take the R,V,G to the Elmhurst Ave stop go leave the station on the north side and your there! Plenty of provisions and, if your peckish, you can vist the restaurants Minangasli or Mie Jakarta on Whitney Ave. a few blocks south near the LIRR.
