Susan 'as a Balinese' come to it's so amazing. Your time is too short to enjoy Jakarta. Thank you Susan, we love you.

As a Jakartan who been living here in Jakarta for a very long time imma tell you a little secret that'll prolly shock you a little bit. There's this belief here that the foreigners who be hanging out too often around Blok M area are the 'poor bule'. Locals would automatically side eye foreigners, especially Caucasian, because as you know, everything is pretty cheap there. I know it's obviously not true and wealth is subjective. It's just some of Jakartans' ignorance, I guess. I personally don't think that way but I'm just spilling the tea.

Recommendation:
- In case you're planning to visit Jakarta again, the places for street food lover that won't make locals look down to you: Sabang area, Kemang area, Menteng area, Kuningan area, and Tebet area.

- in case you're planning to visit PIK 2 again, some of my fave foods:
1. Bakso urat-rusuk @ Bakso Solo Samrat, Ruko San Antonio area (meatballs and ribs)
2. Ayam Bakar bumbu asam-manis @ 8 spices, Ruko San Antonio area (grilled chicken with local seasoning)
3. Luberger, Ruko San Antonio area (beef burger, western influenced local food)
4. Linguine Aglio Lio @ PIK Avenue (spaghetti, not so local but delish af)
5. Bakso campur-daging @ Bakso Aan, Ruko Elang Laut (meatballs and sliced beef, Chinese influenced)
6. Konro Bakar @ Food Street PIK 2 (ribs grilled on burning charcoal)

Have a great day.

Great guide for everyone who is new to jakarta! Happy that travel guides for this city are showing up
We can relate so much to your travel experience :D

[Si_nengatcha]

You miss:
- Senayan park, it's a new place actually, close to SCBD
- Perpustakaan Nasional (National Library), adjacent to Monas (south side). Go up to the upper floors (14 or 17 I forget), but it's history/ regional literature, go to the balcony and you can see Merdeka square. Really beautiful.
- all kinds of museum, the closest to Monas (west side) is National Museum also known as Museum Gajah. There are also museums around Kota Tua.
- Thamrin 10, close to Monas and the library. honestly I've never been there since pandemic so I don't know if it still open. It's basically open food court. If you go in the evening - night, there usually a live music. Food are good and you can try different cuisine from different parts of Indonesia. Again, this is my experience before pandemic.
- free tourism bus is available on certain route. There's a sign for it around Monas, Kota Tua, Thamrin. Some routes will take you to places that very few foreigners ever visit.
- Near Kota Tua, there's an old Chinatown called Petak 9. Just search Petak 9 market or Petak 9 Glodok.
- there's also Jakarta Walking Tour (also offered in English) and you decide how much you want to pay your guide.

Anyway, enjoy Jakarta and there's more to Indonesia than just Bali and Jakarta...

[dedystephanus]

always happy with the natural beauty of Indonesia as well as the hospitality... spirit and happy

there's a authentic Padang resto only located in Padang, West Sumatra, its named Rumah Makan (RM) Lamun Ombak, i guarantee there's no other place tasted like here.

Good tips
I have been to Jakarta twice on 2 day stopovers to Bali and Lombok. I did see Merdeka Square where the monument, Masjid Istiqlal and Cathedral is located, also walked around the main skyscrapers area, went to Ancol Beach, Regatta, and did a day trip to Thousand Islands too
