IBC Pondok Tempo Doeloe - Sunset Road

Skip the standard Sunset Road fare—this is where you go for real-deal Sundanese soul food. IBC Pondok Tempo Doeloe delivers unapologetically bold flavors in a sprawling, breezy space. Think live traditional music, trickling water features, and tables packed with groups doing *makan tengah*—proper family-style sharing. Bali food purists will point you straight toward the seafood. The *pepes ikan*—savory, spice-steamed fish—is an absolute knockout, while the crispy fried *gurame* and sweet-and-savory *nila pesmol* hit every textural high note. Discerning eaters frequent this spot specifically for the *rujak cingur*, a complex, perfectly sauced delicacy that’s notoriously hard to track down on the island. Wash down those vibrant, herb-heavy *bumbu* profiles with a glass of their signature sweet jasmine tea. Paired with massive portions, razor-sharp service, and easy basement parking, this classic Indonesian joint is a total triumph.
