Lunch at this Indonesian restaurant in Serpong

Best freshly made sambal


Fresh chili + white sugar + balacan + lime


Done very traditional way


(sorry photo blur)


Chicken satay chunky meat with peanut sauce and sweet sauce very nice


Wrapped mushroom




Kangkon balacan is very thin, soft yet crunchy think cannot be found in Singapore and Thailand


Gram bakar or Tilapia bbq


Sambal prawn


Beef rib soup, very rich beef taste

Have to agree with you. Need to improve my skill. Using same camera guess its the problem with my skill.

Back to Jakarta for a few days had a great and cheap seafood meal. Everything super fresh because the fish port is just a stone throw from the restaurant:

Front of the restaurant


Inside is full so got to have meal outside


Sweet boiled prawn


Brinjal with sambal


Bean sprout with salted fish


Small bamboo clams with tau-jiu


Grilled ikan kueh with green sambal


Live grouper with cumin sauce - the signature dish its a little like thai taste as its sour and delicious




Another highlight - crab grilled in banana leaves




Marinated with ginger and other herbs, very fragrant and tasty




This meal costs only 1.05mil IDR or S$100

Name of the restaurant Aroma Sop

Last night went to an open air street food place in north Jakarta





This is like our ngor hiang guan qiang


Pohpiah - Singapore's better, more moist inside this Jakarta version looks like ours but a little dry inside


Chap chai


Soto sapi - this is damn shiok like our mutton soup


Pork satay - very very delicious, meat is chunky and well marinated






Overall this street food was good but not cheap when compared to Bangkok's street food.

yes, all 3 sections of the colon are absorbent in whatever stays there. it's advisable to clear bowels frequently as constipated shit can be reabsorbed into organs and body and turn toxic.

Had breakfast with my good Muslim driver this morning.

Hot teh tarik


He had salted fish fried rice - nasi goreng ikan asin


I had prawn beehoon

Lunch at a Nasi Padang restaurant, this is not those traditional ones where every dish is served on your desk, you chose and they serve like our chap chye png. Owner is Chinese but no pork in restaurant still this is not halal however you still see muslims come to eat. Many Indonesian muslims are not so anal about the halal thing.

Highlight is their fried chicken, all made fresh when ordered.

Brinjal, long bean and ikan bilis


Tempeh


The fried chicken - super delicious especially the crisps


Check out they generously give the crisps
