[QUOTE=BuleDaddy]The Fish Market near the airport is a treat on your way out. Get your jivin' Javanese driver to do the buying for you and don't even let the fishmongers see you are with him or the price might double. Get some lobster, prawns, big fish, and squid. I'll pack some cooked leftovers up and have it for dinner in Sunar later. .[/QUOTE]Could you please give more details on how to get there. I'm very keen on this place. If I just say "Pasar Ikan" would the know where?
Enjoyed a trip to the historical part of Jkt, or what's left of it, in the kota last week. Getting there was easy, but the traffic on the way back.. it took long, hayam wuruk was quite congested.
Still the trip was very nice, thought I share it here. It's great to visit, there aren't too many places to visit in Jkt during the daytime, but also during night time/evening hours, there is this colonial style restaurant -cafe batavia- that's open 24 hours.
The cafe seems a popular night spot and has life music. It has a great menu too, which you can flick thru on it's website: [url]http://www.cafebatavia.com/[/url] (click 'Wine & Dine'). Prices are very reasonable, but expect the caviar with vodka shots to be around 1,9 million rupiah (of course).
Please find attached some photo's.

2. It's unique picture collection

Actually there are two main spots for seafood near the airport. One is the pasar ikan at Muara Karang and the other one is at Dadap. Dadap has nice restaurants above the sea. Well actually it is the mouth of the river. Going to the airport on the jalan tol, you will see the signs after you make the last big turn to the left.
Was in Jakarta last week. Long time girlfriend decided to treat me to a meal (makes a nice change! ). Ended up at a place called Pondoc Laguna (not sure of district) but what a fantastic place. Food (sea food) excellent and great atmosphere. Was very busy so ended up upstairs (felt a bit like school canteen with long tables).
Downstairs has more character and would've been better. Service was great. Highly Recommended
Try this area....many restaurant out here and also theather.
I have tried Brasillian restaurant in 2nd floor, for only 65,000 rupiahs (buffet)...some famous cafe also are in this area.
This building has some floors and every floor has many places to eat.
cheers...

Give the burger place and the upstairs Chinese places a miss, utter shite with the typical staff that cannot or will not give a fuck about service. The Malay place on the bottom floor is almost as horrid. I expected great things from this place, but to no avail.

The building with lots of restaurants, a Starbucks, and a cinema is actually Setiabudi I, not II. The II building is primarily offices and shops, not restaurants.
The "famous cafe" that Oyenk is referring to is probably the Amadeus Cafe, decent food (primarily European). I've eaten here several times, both the Wiener Schnitzel and the Beef Teriyaki are good.
Most of the other restaurants in this building are nothing special, although they always seem to have lots of customers.

The same Amadeus as in CITOS, Cilandak. An expat favorite for sure.

Citos, yes great site to go.
There is a cafe with bilyard poll, I forgot the name. I love it.

- Burger places ? just open yellow pages.
- Chinese place ? I recommend Restaurant Bakmi Gajah Mada 77 (middle up class), located in Jl. Gajahmada...
Or try Sand restaurant in Ancol - North jkt for high class chinese resto, they also have spa.

The place at SB 1 tries to place itself above the usual fast food type burger joints. Was not impressed by the slow service there or the attitude of the staff. Then again, had a very similar experience at Izzi, just up the road, which led to me walking out. Never again. The copycat place in Grand Indonesia is ten times better for cheap, simple Italian. Chinese, bakmi? You are not talking about the ubiquitous mie ayam-tyoe joints that litter the town are you? Once a fortnight is about enough for me. Still looking for a place that can match the now-defunct Wangkee in Kemang. As for North Jakarta, well, I'm up there about as often as the FPI are handing out free disco tickets, thanks for the tips, all the same.
A couple years back Menteng took me to Abuba Steak. It was a bit different, as someone who is used to US and Argentine steaks. The steaks are generally quite thin, and come with a bbqish sauce, that isn't half bad.
However, in Jakarta, I haven't found anything else that was reasonably priced and good quality.
They now have 4 locations in Jakarta, plus one in Bandung. Prices start at 43k for a steak, with veggies and country style french fries. Add 10% tax to price. They have domestic, NZ and US meats. I've tried the Lokal and imports and both seemed fine to me. JAD and I went the other night, and thought the food was fine.
The location I went to was JL K.H. Wahid Hasyim No. 120. Near Sarinah, next to the Circle K. 021-3193-5655. I got delivery last night, which added 3k to the bill.
Other locations:
Jl Cipte Raya no 14A
021-9284-5552
Jl Raya Gading Batavia LC 11/07
021-9284-5551

Hello,
Could anyone suggest a good-to-very good Indonesian restaurant, close to Blok M / CJ's bar, open for Sunday dinner?
One page back Prosal and Menteng share different opinions about Waoreng Pojok.
I'll land in the evening and don't want to stray to far from the hotel, but still wishing to try local cuisine.
Thank a lot,
Ryo
