Below is the bahasa Indonesia translation for your references...


Bagi anda pecinta makanan Sunda, kini ada satu pilihan lagi untuk anda. Di Jalan Pesangrahan anda akan menemukan "Warung Nasi Ampera". Bagi anda yang pernah tinggal di Bandung, mungkin tidak asing dengan warung nasi ini karena warung nasi ini merupakan cabang dari Kebon Kelapa Soekarna-Hatta Bandung. Begitulah yang tertulis di depan pintu masuk. Walaupun, namanya warung, tapi anda tidak perlu kuatir, karena tempat ini cukup nyaman dan ber-AC, sehingga kita tidak kepanasan.
Saat anda memasuki warung nasi ini, alunan musik sunda akan menyambut anda. Pada bagian sebelah kiri juga terpampang gambar sepanjang ruangan yang menggambarkan perkampungan naga dimana gambar tersebut menceritakan kehidupan masyarakat yang masih tradisional. Warung nasi ini cukup besar, sehingga dapat menjadi tempat bila anda ingin makan bersama teman-teman anda. Pada bagian kiri, pengunjung dapat makan secara lesehan. Tapi lesehan disini dijamin tidak akan membuat kaki anda kesemutan karena ternyata di bawah meja ada ruangan kosong sehingga kita bisa menurunkan kaki.
Untuk memesan makanan, kita dapat langsung memesannya dari pelayan. Tetapi, bila masih bingung memilih, kita dapat melihat langsung makanan apa saja yang tersedia. Pada bagian kanan, ada meja prasmanan yang berisi makanan yang dapat dipilih. Kita dapat mengambil makanan tersebut, kemudian pada akhir meja ada pelayan yang akan menghitung dan selanjutnya mengantar makan kita. Menu yang tersedia merupakan makanan sunda seperti sayur asem, aneka macam pepes (pepes jamur, pepes ayam, pepes tahu), bermacam-macam gorengan (ikan gurame goreng, tempe goreng, tahu goreng, bakwan jagung, bakwan udang), udang bakar, cumi bakar, pete, ati ampela, sambel goreng ati, dll. Untuk ikan, selain digoreng, kita juga dapat memilih untuk dibakar.
Untuk lalapan dan sambal, kita bisa mengambil sepuasnya. Pada lalapan ada yang mungkin jarang digunakan pada umumnya, yaitu daun poh-pohan yang rasanya sangat unik. Selain itu . Sedangkan untuk sambal, kita dapat mengambilnya dalam cobek batu kecil. Sambal yang tersedia ada 4 macam yaitu sambal oncom, sambal godang, sambal dadak, dan sambal terasi goreng. Inilah yang membuat suasana sunda semakin kental. Untuk minuman, kita dapat memesan aneka macam jus ataupun minuman lainnya. Tetapi, untuk teh tawar hangat, disediakan secara gratis oleh warung ini.
Yang mungkin harus menjadi perhatian kita adalah saat membayar di kasir. Sistem yang digunakan adalah setelah makanan kita pilih di meja prasmanan, pelayan akan memasukkan catatan makanan yang kita ambil dalam box. Jadi kita harus teliti memeriksa struk kita, karena kemungkinan makanan orang lain masuk dalam box kita dan akhirnya masuk pula dalam tagihan kita.

Apart from that it is also served with strong flavored ingredients such as salted fish, dried prawns, fish crackers, Kerisik (fried grated coconut) and other savory garnishing.
