Jak food 3


Fried kwe tiaw and Teh botol. What else can I ask for?


Bakso

There was a little more time to saunter the streets of Jakarta this past trip. More time to walk and go deep into the streets to where the locals consider the food good!

I was introduced to bami (beef noodles) and bakso (beef balls). They make really good light meals - allows you uto eat every 3 hours - especially when on a short trip like this! :P What topped off the expeience was the ambience. Dingy coffee shop, very warm noon sun beating down on zinc roof, gas stoves burning, sound of the chopper boards, customers waiting in line, everyone perspiring except the cooks, stall owners and their assistants scrambling behind the scenes to get their piece of art done... No complaints!
