Kafe Betawi Jakarta

If you happened to read my pregnancy blog, this is one of the most wanted place during my second pregnancy because I often want to have soto betawi. And I think Kafe Betawi is one of the place in Jakarta which has a delicious soto betawi * a bit expensive one though*
They try to design each branch with a betawi ambience. One of the example is the Kafe Betawi in Mall Kelapa Gading. The place is quite big and they have a very cozy sofa indeed..

On the menu, you may find so many betawi’s traditional food. Like kue rangi, asinan, otak-otak *is it palembang or betawi’s food by the way?* They look so delicious.. But we stick to the plan only to order soto betawi..while rene tried the nasi ulam.

Mmmm the soto betawi was very yummy..don’t forget to add sambal and the jeruk purut to the soto! Beside meat it also contains paru and babat. The paru has been cooked first so it’s crunchy.. Don’t know what to say about the nasi ulam, because I didn’t want to try it. But rene said it was also delicious. We ordered a paket hemat menu, so for the soto betaw, rice and a glass of ice tea, it cost Rp 32,000, and the same for nasi ulam. Like I said before, quite expensive for such traditional food right?

Bebek Kaleyo Cempaka Putih

As a bebek lover, you really have to try this place..but don’t give up when you see the place is very crowded! Just park your car nearby and have a seat.. That was our experience when we wanna try this place. Heard this place from Pa Krisjna, and as this place is only 10 minutes away from my ofiice, we went there but decided to have something else cause the place was so crowded. The next time we went there, still it was very very crowded, but using my maternity power to rene *you know... things like: the baby wants to have bebek:p* we finally tried this place. Yup it was crowded but once you find the seat, you don’t wait that long. Actually the crowd was for the take away bebek.

I had a bebek kremes while rene had a bebek cabe ijo. Served with rice, the sambal and fresh vegetable, it cost us only Rp 17,000/ portion. The bebek was quite big, chewy, and the sambal is very delicious! Especially for the bebek cabe ijo, it’s very hot!! Really not my food as I don’t like spice food that much. We’ve also tried the bebek bakar, but the taste of the bebek goreng kremes is much better.

We still think that Bebek Goreng Suryo is still the best bebek in town though, but as the location is so far from our office, this bebek Kaleyo is just the right place for us to have bebek after office hours.

Seafood Angga Sunter

When you’re in Jakarta and want to have great seafood with affordable price, go to Kelapa Gading or Sunter Area..you’ll find so many seafood restaurants from the cheap to the expensive one. 

Now I’m going to write one of the seafood resto in sunter called “Angga” (maybe the owner’s name is Angga or his son’s name:p) It’s a small resto located accross Superindo in sunter. You can eat outdoor or in their small resto. 

If you want to choose your seafood, you can do it first, just go to their cool boxes and pick the fresh fish or crabs. The funny thing is they write the price on the crabs! Their specialty is the crab,so if you ever try Angga, don’t forget to order their Kepiting Saus Padang (crab in Padangnese sauce).

We heard about Angga from Yenni (again) and we thank her because all what we ordered were very delicious, although we don’t think it’s that cheap Yen..hehe.. We had the Kepiting Saus Padang, Kangkung Cha, baked fish, and Kerang Saus Padang (when all the food came we realize it was too much for the two of us..it would be enough for four person!). 

For all of the food we ordered it cost us Rp 175.000. The best food was of course the crab.. but it was very hot and spicy.. Next time I want to have another seafood session, for sure Angga will be my first choice!
