Nasi Timbel is the famous Sundanese dish, and a must try local delicacy. Nasi Timbel consists of steamed Sundanese foodrice (white or red rice) in a tube-shaped wrapped in banana leaf (by covering it in banana leaf will make the rice more aromatic and appetizing,... mmm..yummy), lalapan/raw vegetables (tomatoes, coriander leaves, eggplants, cabbages, lettuces, and so on), sambal terasi (shrimp-paste chili sauce), tomatoes sauce, tempe (made of fermented soybean), tahu (fried tofu), ayam (fried or roasted chicken), pepes Ikan Mas (goldfish wrapped in a banana leaf and roasted) and a sliced of jambal/ikan asin (salted fish). And served with sayur asam, a vegetable soup given a sour flavour by the addition of tamarind.
