Smokin’ Bowls

This place is fantastic– seriously check it out. One bowl lasts me two meals and the bowls burst with flavor!

This is really good food made with sauces that are outstanding. The vegies are fresh and you will discover some flavors that are unique to this Indonesian inspired food cart. He used to be in the downtown Portland area and my wife ate there frequently. He moved to Cartlandia and that is a culinary gain for Southeast PDX. Welcome addition and one of my new favorites.

Midday midweek I got the Triple Threat rice bowl. A good balance of tender, flavorful pig meats, fresh veggies, and unique sauce all tasted great! The pomegranate bits were a nice touch. The sweet tea was also good. Lastly, the owner was very nice. Definitely recommend!

First week of business and working out the kinks so no firm menu yet.
Smokin’ Bowls are a base of rice, leafy greens and a protein that varies from chicken, pork and bacon, Tempe or tofu. The protein is mixed with a variety of veggies that include onions, garlic, bok Choy, cilantro and spicy peppers. Mine also had pomegranate seeds and beans! On the side is a homemade Tempe cracker that tasted better then is sounds.
Some versions will have noodles instead of rice.
Overall I am impressed! Good flavor and filling meal. The spice level can be adjusted for those who want it light or really hot!
Drinks are «pinkies,» lemonade with either watermelon or blueberries.
I can’t wait to see what happens in the weeks to come!
