Kwetiau Akang Pondok Indah, Jakarta 🇮🇩 Indonesian Style Char Kway Teow & Mee Rebus Redolent with Crustacean Umami 🦀

Indonesia-Kwetiau-Akang-Pondok-Indah-Jakarta

I am quite sure that I haven't found the best kwetiau (kway teow) in Jakarta. Hey, I can't even say I have the found the best kway teow in Johor Bahru after blogging about Johor food for nearly two years. What more I've just landed in Jakarta. But, Kwetiau Akang has definitely lodged itself in my data bank of great char kway teow, even though its unique style is different from any that I have eaten so far.

In Jakarta, Get Out & Treat Yourself to Colours, Taste & Smells of Indonesian Street Food 🇮🇩

Indonesian-Street-Food-Jakarta

Thanks to sponsorship by Jakarta Tourism Office and arrangements by Russell Cheong of Winsemius Consulting, I spent three days exploring the Jakarta food scene.

I am writing a series of blog posts to share the wide range of interesting dining experiences available in Jakarta from exclusive restaurants to street food, from international cuisine to Indonesian heritage food.

Here are some of my street food encounters during my (too) brief visit.

Mie Bakso 🇮🇩 Amazing Flavours & Colours of Jakarta Street Food

Jakarta-Street-Food

I have always wanted to explore Jakarta street food as Indonesian cuisine have a strong influence in nearby Johor and Singapore. Nasi padang, soto ayam, satay and ayam penyet ubiquitous in Singapore and Malaysia are all originally Indonesian, just to name a few.
