A real rijstaffel (and I've enjoyed several, in Holland!) has several "base"
dishes, and many-many-many little containers of seasonings, condiments and
mix-ins all over the table.  A "major" rijstaffel is supposed to have no fewer
than 100 items, including the "big" things (which might be, for example,
a chicken curry or a dish of mixed vegetables) and the "little" things (which
are more along the lines of toasted coconut gratings, spicy sauces, and herbs).

What Sabang served us, which was DELICIOUS, was an 8-course dinner of varied
Indonesian dishes.  Not the same thing at all.


 SS> Anyway, you should try the Sarinah Satay House for good Indonesian food.
 SS> It's on Wisconsin Ave near O St. in G'town.

What's the parking situation?  I could always try that, and hit Pines of Rome
if there's no parking in DC that evening.
