Jakarta continues with food

Good morning Jakarta. It’s day 2 and we’re all out to hunt for food, interesting places, the walks of Jakarta and whatever that comes in the way. Set out considerably early although we missed the breakfast, walked out on the streets of Blok M and the weather was all shiny and the clouds were mesmerising.

Walked into the Blok M mall and sneaked around for breakfast. Came across this really funny bunting which says Nasi Goreng Gila!! You’ll go crazy eating our fried rice or our fried rice is crazy, vice versa. You go figure~

Ended up in some crapppy restaurant eating soto ayam with some weird name bite snacks called cireng or something. But we just belasah cos damn hungry… Them exchanging sunnies and posing

We walked in the mall abit, saw alot of cheap stuff. Converse/puma sneakers at RM50 – 70 bucks , Adidas warehouse sales, chicsss and everything else. Roze bought these mini ice cream at one of the stalls inside the mall. They gave us a membership card too, hahah damn cute.

We set out on the roads again, wandering aimlessly. Blind leading the blind, so we called ourselves. Saw a couple of bajaj’s racing on the streets. Apparently, it’s the cheapest mode of transportation around here. Rp 5,000 for quite a distance = about RM1.50?

We saw this interesting street stall selling these kuihs so we bought em to try. There were pandan and kaya flavour i think, and both were delicious. We later found out that they call them ‘kuih tetek’. wtf

Walked non stop and went in and out many many many malls until we sweat like pigs and almost break our legs, we decided to stop for lunch. We opted for nasi padang which the locals recommended and they told us to head to this famous restaurant ‘Nasi Kapau’. And we were served with loaaads of dishes, we ate like nobody’s business and it was indeed a very fulfilling lunch.

Then we went back to the hotel to freshen up, ended up pigging for like 2 hours cos we were all exhausted. After recharging we were all set out for our dessert in the late evening. We went to the Cheesecake factory cum super nice cafe.

We ordered each a different kinda cheesecake and drinks to go with our teatime. There were American cheesecake, tiramisu, strawberry cheese, choc cheese and so many other delicious cheese based pastries. The one below is damn delicious we can’t get enough of it.

Next Bongky came and had his share of choc cheese and off we headed to the eX mall, one of the luxurious mall in Jakarta. We first headed to Hard Rock Cafe where I bought some souvenirs and collectible items. We later ended up in this posh restaurant dining to Masakan Manador, a delicacy in Indonesia. Can’t remember what’s this called but its corn deep fried and it’s super crispy to go with rice and dishes.

Sate manador, both spicy and honey coated ones. They are absolutely scrumptious. There were many other dishes like the fish with spices, squid, veg, spicy chicken etc etc.

After the crazy dinner, we headed out for some jolly good time experiencing the crazy night life in Jakarta. Went club hopping, saw one of the largest clubs in Jakarta, crashed into a friend’s private party with DJ, drank tequila right from the bottle and sat on a fast and furious ride.

All in one night and before we called it a night, we experienced the street food which was pretty interesting.

Good night folks, I’ll write more soon.
