Way up north Jakarta in a busy Pasar Pagi / Morning Market Center. Best to go here in the early morning. Less crowded in surrounding and weather still cool.
It is a old Chinese traditional cuisine to have a steam chicken rice. and Here is the best one in Jakarta in my own opinion.

My own favorite Indonesian Food Restaurants in Jakarta
Again, this is a list of my own favorite Indonesian food restaurants to go. Some are fancy, and some are just so so in terms of decor, but heyyy i come here for good foods, not for luxury or fancy. Check them our first before going ok. But you can trust me. Their taste is genuine and never fail me.

The taste is good, and menus are complete. You can find anything here from Indonesian, Italian etc. Really save on the budget. Seriously. I hardly go here, but for you to try quick all Indonesian food on a budget, then here is the place.Just 5 minute walk down 1 floor from the apartment lobby.
