From Bakmi Nyonya, we had the Mie Goreng. It's basically authentic Indonesian stir fry, in a way, a counterpart to the more popular yakisoba. I like that they don't scrimp out on the ingredients, plus, they make their own noodles! It's a mix of sweet, savory, and spicy, so it's definitely an interesting dish. I wish we could've tried their other offerings too though.

Bakmi Nyonya is the reason why I want to visit Pioneer Street Market.  They specialize in Indonesian Food.  There aren't many restaurants that offer the aforementioned cuisine. I looked for their stall first.  Without any hesitation,  i got the Beef Rendang while he opted for Nasi Goreng (I paid php 310 for both,  good deal,  eh?)History lesson for the Indonesian Cuisine Neophyte.Nasi Goreng has been called the National Dish of Indonesia.  Nasi Goreng refers to fried rice in Indonesian.  The dish comprises of shallot, garlic, tamarind and chilli and accompanied by other ingredients, particularly egg, chicken and prawn.  Other versions is made with ikan asin (salted dried fish) which is also popular across Indonesia.Rendang is a spicy meat dish which originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia.  It is traditionally prepared by the Minangkabau community during festive occasions such as traditional ceremonies.Rendang is revered in Minangkabau culture as an embodiment of the philosophy of musyawarah, discussion and consultation with elders.  It has been claimed that the four main ingredients represent Minangkabau society as a whole.The meat (dagiang) symbolises the Niniak Mamak, the traditional clan leaders such as the datuk, the nobles, royalty and revered elders.The coconut milk (karambia) symbolises the Cadiak Pandai, intellectuals, teachers, poets and writers.The chilli (lado) symbolises the Alim Ulama, clerics, ulama and religious leaders. The hotness of the chilli symbolises Sharia.The spice mixture (pemasak) symbolises the rest of Minangkabau society.That's history alright.  Who would've thought a dish had so much significance in a nation's history.  After reading the Wikipedia article,  i have a newfound respect for Beef Rendang.  And bad versions is considered blasphemy in my book.Bakmi Nyonya's beef rendang tastes legit.  The beef is tender,  the coconut milk is cooked perfectly,  i know because I have eaten a helluva lot of coconut milk based dishes.  The consistency is thick (if it's the other way around,  it would taste iffy).  I would've prefer my Rendang really spicy but subtle level of heat is ideal for some.  They serve some spicy sambal sauce on the the side if you prefer more heat. He liked the Nasi Goreng.  He even said that he would get two orders on our next visit.  The beauty of this dish is it's simplicity.  Meat,  rice and spices.  A simple equation that gives out an awesome product. I will try other items on their menu on my next visit!

Pioneer Market takes the cake with extra cream for having a well organized and balanced food hub. It also boasts two other important elements- ample parking and a comfortable environment with its cool air conditioning. Personally, this is the best place to experience an amassed group of restaurants or stalls in one area.  It definitely tops Gastropark, Mercato, Legaspi and Salcedo Markets.

One of the crowd's favourite in the office. Their Nasi Goreng Ayam and their Bakmi Goreng are the must try. The owners and their staffs are very accommodating. Good food, reasonable price and quality service. :)

Indonesian food addiction!!!! They really make their Bakmi Goreng well!! There was even a time I got addicted to this at 160pesos! Good for two but I'm sure you'll finish the whole thing! They make their own noodles and their ingredients are purely Indonesian giving it that authentic flare. Their hot sauce is also my favorite. Basically that's what I order all the time but I also tried the Nasi Goreng which is also very good and the siomai!!!

Tried visiting Pioneer Street Market for the first time and we only ordered from this stall. I thought the reviews were a bit overrated but after trying out Nasi Goreng (chicken) & Bakmi Goreng (shrimp), I'm now convinced that these are one of the best sellers in the place. The noodles are tasty and serving is just right. My son who's quite a picky-eater ate both dishes. We also liked their bottled guava iced tea. Will definitely go back here and order the same thing.

Straight up 5/5.Only time im going to make a review.I've lived in indonesia for 15 years and have returned back to the ph. After years of searching for legit INDO food. This place right here blew me away.Forget everywhere else. This is the real deal. They don't B.S. you like the other places who cater to the PH palate.Get the nasi goreng and the bakso and you're set.Shit they even have teh botol!!!!! I am spending all day everyday eating here I don't even care.

I ordered for bakmi ayam and bakmi goreng. I noticed the taste has degraded. The soup does not have taste and only taste salty. I hope the management can improve it.

I will review this Indonesian food joint not by this branch but with their stalls in some events ,exhibits.I've been a fan of Bakmi Nyonya for almost a year now ,a fixture of Mercato weekend food stalls.I always ordered the Bakmi Goreng,always hot and freshly cooked during events and real authentic Indonesian Nyonya taste.Today I tried their Beef Rendang never expected that this would be very good,I mean very good!The taste of the rich creamy coconut sauce was on the mark,heat just right and the beef was so tender and moist which really a very good note.Aunthetic Indonesian cuisine in its element.And dont forget to ask for their very good sambal.☺Price very affordable with less than Php 200 ,you will have a very decent Southeast Asian meal, staff and the Indonesian owner are very friendly too.
