fikscue

Fikscue is a restaurant in Alameda serving Indo-Tex Halal BBQ. It applies Indonesian flavor profiles to low-and-slow Texas barbecue technique, a synthesis that works decisively in practice. The signature brisket rendang—smoked beef cubes stir-fried with coconut chile paste—and giant beef back ribs with tamarind-peanut sauce make the restaurant's specific point of view concrete. The operation is unpretentious and smoke-forward, priced for neighborhood regulars, with a menu built for sharing bold, spice-forward plates.
