iving in a country that
has endless variety of food and drinks, Indonesians do eat out, but the
majority does not go to restaurants. The local food scene relies heavily on
street food. Indonesians savour the delicious meals offered by ubiquitous
street vendors day and night for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Jakarta Street Food Scene - Truly Indonesia
Street
food is a quick meal sold by a vendor with a push cart, basket, at a stall, or
possibly at a store where customers can see the preparation of food clearly. It
provides a close connection between the customer and the street food, unlike
having a plate of food in a restaurant.
The
types of food offered vary from a simple fried tofu to a much more complicated
dish like gudeg (raw jackfruit cooked in a Javanese traditional way that
originated from Yogyakarta). In big cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung,
Semarang and Medan, the street vendors offer many a traditional food from
various regions in the archipelago. But in smaller cities, they are usually of
the local cuisine.The most commonly found street food is bakso or meatballs
that are usually served in a bowl, like soup, with noodles, bean curds (tofu),
eggs, and/or fried meat.
Another
popular soup-like street food is soto. It is mainly comprised of broth and
vegetables. The meats most commonly used are beef and chicken, but there are
also sotos with mutton and pork. It is usually accompanied by rice or
compressed rice. Sotos are differentiated by the ingredients in them, such as
soto ayam (chicken) and soto kambing (mutton).
There
are many sotos in Indonesia, as different regions and ethnicities have their
own ways of preparing the cuisine, such as soto Madura (from East Java), soto
Betawi (from Jakarta), soto Padang (from West Sumatra), so to Bandung (from
West Java), soto Banjar (from South Kalimantan), and coto Makassar (from South
Sulawesi).
The
other popular delicacy often sold by street vendors is satay. It is a dish
consisting of chunks or slices of dice-sized meat (chicken, goat, lamb, beef,
pork, or fish) on bamboo skewers, which are grilled over a wood or charcoal
fire, then served with various spicy seasonings, mostly made of ground nuts.
Satay may have originated in Java or Sumatra, but is very popular outside Indonesia
too. Similar to soto bakso and soto, there are many types of satay from sate
Madura to Padang, sate Iilit, sate susu, kulit, sate Ponorogo and many more.
Nasi
goreng (steamed rice stir-fried with eggs, meatballs, chicken/beef/shrimp,
assorted vegetables and often with sweet soy sauce seasoning) is also very
popular along with nasi rawon (rice served with dark beef soup) originally from
East Java. The dark colour comes from the meaty seeds of kluwak nuts. Usually
served with uncooked mung bean sprouts and salty duck eggs, pecel (a mixture of
vegetables and traditional crackers with spicy peanut paste). Madiun and Blitar
in East Java are popular for their pecel and gado-gado (a mixture of
vegetables, crackers and rice with peanut flavoured sauce). The taste is sweet
in Eastern Java and salty in Western Java.

Located
on the northern coast of Java, the province of Jakarta has rapidly expanded
through the years, absorbing many villages in the process. In fact Jakarta is a
conglomeration of villages known as kampungs, now crossed by main roads and
super highways. It is small wonder therefore, that you may drive down one
wide avenue one minute then suddenly find yourself squeezed into a small street
together with scores of cars and motorbikes. The names of these former
villages can be detected from their main streets, such as Tanah Abang, Kebon
Kacang, Kebon Jeruk, Kampung Melayu, and many more. Together with its many
suburbs Jakarta has become a megapolitan city. Therefore, when you visit
Jakarta it is best to invest in a good map, or rely on GPS.
Jakarta itself is built on a wide flat delta, intersected by no
less than 13 rivers. Fronting the city in the Bay of Jakarta are a large number
of tiny islands, known as the Thousand Islands or
Pulau Seribu, a tourist resort for snorkeling and swimming. To its south are
the majestic volcanoes of Gede and Pangrango, where
are cool mountain resorts like Bogor, Puncak, Sukabumi and Bandung.
Capital
city of a country with 240 million population, Jakarta is not only the seat of
the national government and the provincial government, this city is also
Indonesia’s political center. Moreover, Jakarta is also the center and
hub of Indonesia’s national finance and trade. It is no wonder, therefore that
you will find Jakarta an ever dynamic city, a city that never sleeps.
