Hawker Food Vendors in Jakarta (part II)
Bubur Ayam Bang Tatang
Last post, I’ve mentioned a bit of “bubur ayam bang tatang”. This is a very famous Indonesian style chicken porridge, opened every afternoon, the place it self was not very representative but it always full of customer gathered around Bang Tatang waiting for him to serve the meal (he can make more than 10 bowl of porridge in one batch). The specialty of this porridge is in its topping, it was full of a very generous chicken slices, I think the chicken is much more than the porridge

Sate Afrika (African Satay)
I’ve been longing to visit this place since last year but never had a chance till now. Located in the area between “Indonesia Power” building & “Museum Tekstil”, this place served Malinese Cuisine known better as “Sate Afrika”. We arrived around 11PM and ordered 2 portion of lamb meat & 1 portion of “jerohan” and “pisang goreng tanduk”. We watched them prepared the meat : grilled, and then cut into pieces, put into a pan and mixed with spices & cooked again until the meat is soft and tender. served in an aluminium plate topped with sliced onion, Overall the meat was delicious, not oily at all, not smelly (ngga bau prengus), make a perfect combination with the fried banana and their special chili sauce (a combination of sambal lampung, mustard and sweet soya sauce), but a bit too tasty

Nasi Kapau Uni Upik
Located at the hook of Kramat Raya Street, there were several food stalls opened in the evening until dawn (I guess) serving Nasi Kapau (almost similar to nasi padang, but it came from a small village called Kapau in west sumatra with have slightly different styles of cooking, their specialty here were bebek cabe ijo & rendang bebek hitam ). when we arrived the place was very crowded with diners, we choose the most crowded one (Nasi Kapau Uni Upik), when my friends buying Lemang & other meal for sahur preparation, I start drooling again when I saw the selection of food there and can’t help my self to order one portion of Nasi Kapau with “bebek sambal lado ijo” 18K, it was delicious especially when you eat using your hand not by spoon

Bakmi Garing
2 weeks ago, on our way back from kelapa gading, we feel hungry again :P, so we stopped by a “kaki lima ” place called “bakmi garing 21″. its almost midnight when we arrived, but the place was still crowded. so we ordered their pork noodle (around 9K if I’m not mistaken). the noodle tasted so delicious.
