Travel Tips - Food & RestaurantsJakarta, Java, Indonesia Jakarta is my hometown, and as a capital city of vast Indonesia, it's just not for the faint-hearted. It might be the most modern city in the country, and also the most polluted with the most depressingly long traffic jams, but it's also the most vibrant with ideas and attitudes of its 12 million inhabitants coming from elsewhere in the archipelago country and worldwide. Dodging traffic and enjoying radio banters while sitting in traffic are favorite sports, and eating is just as much fun as finding inexpensive gems be it a pair of shoes, a batik shirt, a gadget, or a piece of furniture in your shopping sprees. Just by being there surviving the daily physical abuse the traffic posed is a perfect excuse to be pampered - and Jakarta boasted the best hair/body salons and spas offering full-body, half-day treatment for about $40! Try the 'cream bath' if you don't have that much time... Banks and money changers are ubiquitous - you can buy pre-paid cellphones, and taxicabs are the best way to go around - or if you are indeed a braveheart, you can try the 'ojek' or motorcycles for hire, or the bajaj, the motorized tuktuks.

Places to stay: The Grand Mahakam from Sofitel near Blok M. Very convienietly located next to 1 luxurous Mall and 1 cheaper one, plus the local busterminal.
Foor food, go to Bakmi Gadjah Madah, behind Blok M. But avoid lunchtime as its full with the Jakarta working people.
Several malls are located along the Jalan Thamrin, the main street through busines Jakarta. It has everything from plain Sarinah Mall to fancy Plaza Indonesia under the Grand Hyatt.
Also check out the colonial Kota part. Also a bit run down but still nice. Good tip? (0) Jakarta, Java, Indonesia good for the shopping n hangout . . u prove itu n u must glad it . . Good tip? (0) Jakarta, Java, Indonesia Jakarta, a nice city to visit. It got nearly everything you might think of. Well, to start of, make sure you got a car, some patience and a lot of drinks. Jakarta is a big city, so as you might expected, Traffic !!! Ouch. Point of interest in here are the malls - Jakarta got tons of them. The malls are in levels - so.. there's from cheap to very expensive. Hotels are fair - cheap ones (most) in the middle of the cities, and very expensive ones also. Good food, especially if you choose street food because they still cooked it like the old time. Thief's are only on crowded place - so, keep your stuff in your bag and shut it tight. Good restaurants are all located in the malls - you can find the mall easily as almost everyone knows where they are. However, i still recommend street food. But be careful, make sure you observe the chef because he might use dirty material.I'm Juts kidding, but seriously, be careful. A i said Malls, they still got a place that is similar like DisneyLand, we call it - Dufan. It got Theme Parks, Huge aquarium, Pet attractions beaches and usually some events once a month. well, Hope you can enjoy Jakarta. Good tip?
