Cool!
So any info of Gading Food Festival for this year?
When will be held?
I heard about martabak in Rawamangun that is so famous but idk what is the name, where is that exactly the place.
Maybe you could help me? 
Thanks.
i think after the fasting month,,i usually go there around weekend, i'll inform latter  ..
..
ouch, Martabak Favorite, the location is in front of Dunkin Donuts Rawamangun (the location is near the Persahabatan Hospital), you can google map it, 
if you like meatball, so you must try "Apotik Rini's Meatball)..hahaha, so many delicious food in Ramamangun Area (Satay Padang Ajo, Bebek Kaleyo, Bebek Slamet, etc)
if you are non muslim and eat pork, you should try Lapo Siantar(bataknese culinary), they are so famous with their Saksang. I went to North Sumatra last month, i eat the original Saksang there, oh, i gain weight about 4kg just in 4 days..very very very delicious if we compare with the Lapo here.
btw, how about PRJ (Pekan Raya Jakarta), anyone know about this?..
I went to PRJ last night, and bought lot of things in cheap price. ME HAPPY

hi Sophie, 
there are so many tasty Indonesian cuisine, from javanese,bataknese,manadonese,and so on (since there are so many tribes in Indo,so in every tribe, they have their own original food). Just tell me what kind of food do you want to know and try, i'll be very happy to take you there 
have you ever try 'Asinan'? the famous one in Rawamangun is Asinan Kemboja. It is Betawi's traditional food. Betawi is the original tribe in Jakarta. 
fasting month will start on 9 or 10 July until 8 august, it means, will be a lot of Indo cuisine in Jakarta's street.

Not only javanese food i mean..manadonese,bataknese,chinese food,etc, all really2 tasty..my recommendation is not in the fancy resto, but tasty

I got it...Nevertheless I only wanted to say, that I don't consider nashi goreng, mie goreng, bakso, sote ayam, soto and other traditional javanese food as delicious...ok they're eatable but after a while you just start longing for "normal" food
