FAQ
Here are some of the most frequent questions our guests ask about eating at local warungs (restaurants):
Is it safe to eat at local warungs?
Yes, and we encourage it! While we’ve given you our top warungs for tourists to visit in Sumberkima, there are many other options, including mobile bakso (meatball soup) carts and street-side stalls offering martabak, lalapan, and more.
Is it safe to consume drinks prepared with ice?
Yes, ice is made using mineral drinking water. Even as locals, we do not drink tap water or use ice made with it, so it is standard for all warungs and restaurants to use mineral water for ice and drinks.
Will the local food be too spicy?
Local warungs generally prepare mild food for tourists unless they specifically request it spicy (pedas). If you are concerned, you can always ask for it not spicy.
