Welcome to the 4th episode of our Street Food in Indonesia series! Today we are in Jakarta, eating our way through Glodok Chinatown! Here you can find authentic Chinese restaurants and street food!
We started our day in Chinatown with Bakmi (meat + noodles) made fresh to order. Served with char siu pork (barbecued), blanched vegetables and pickles on the table, this is a satisfying bowl of noodles (Rp. 26.000 / USD $1.82).
For our next food stop, we go to a street side shop serving Kuo Tieh (pot stickers). Outside of the restaurant you can watch the chefs preparing the dumplings from scratch, starting with making and rolling the dough, stuffing the dumplings with meat and chives and then cooking them over a huge flame. The pot stickers were delicious, but slightly more expensive than we expected in Jakarta (Rp. 50.000 / USD $3.49 for 10 pieces).
Next we check out the fresh market in Glodok, which is full of traditional Chinese ingredients you normally don’t see in Indonesian wet markets. Next, we visited Dharma Bhakti Temple (Jin De Yuan) which is the first and oldest temple in Jakarta, built in 1650. It is historically significant, and very important for Chinese living in Jakarta, especially around Lunar New Year.
We wanted to experience a full meal after eating street food, so we went to a Hakka restaurant, known as the first Hakka restaurant in the city fro 1925. The owner was very friendly and recommended several dishes to us. We ordered braised noodles (Rp. 50.000 / USD $3.49), red yeast fried eel (Rp. 60.000 / USD $4.19), minced pork steamed with pickles (Rp. 80.000 / USD $5.59), pork ball soup (Rp. 15.000 / USD $1.05) and several other complimentary dishes. The food was authentic and the setting was traditional set back in the twisting alleyways of Jakarta.
