I went on a foodie adventure on the streets of Jakarta, Indonesia with a mission to try some unique and tasty Indonesian food.
Along the way I saw something that I've never seen before in Jakarta! It was truly amazing.
As I headed towards the Blok M food street it started to rain, so I had to find somehwere to shelter. I popped inside Blok M plaza. It was an amazing shopping mall. It was so futuristic and modern I've never seen anything like it before.
But my quest was too try some authentic Indonesian street food. So I headed back out onto the streets to find some.
My first street food of the night was Indonesian chicken sate, with tusuk and a kind of keju dumplings. It was quite delicious. I really enjoyed the sauce that it came with.
The guys who ran the street food stalls were really freindly and welcoming to foreigners which was nice.
After that I went back into Blok M plaza because I spotted the famous J.CO donuts that you guys were suggesting I try. This was the first time that I'd tried them before. They were simply incredible. Way better than Krispy Kreme!
Then upon arriving at Blok M food street I found that it was already closing and there wasn't much food left. So I had to have an extra large Japanese Takoyaki ball.
It wasn't great. But I also found an Indonesian drink called Bintang which was really delicious!
After that I went back out onto the streets of Jakarta and found some ayam bakar. It was pretty nice Chicken with rice and tofu. But I was getting quite full.
I then need some kind of fruit juice and found an interesting avocado smoothie. It wasn't that great and I didn't end up finishing it.
I then got a tuktuk back to the hotel for one last snack of the night. The amazing Zap chocolate bar and Top bar. I believe they are both Indonesian brands, I really love them!
I would recommend if you want to visit Blok M food street you need to go there a little earlier than I did to catch all the tasty snacks and make sure not of the stores are closed.
