Hidup Wartegku! Jakarta’s Best Eatery?


I just went out a while ago, to see if my favourite Jakarta eatery, my local warteg…

warung Tegal—shortened as warteg (a food stall that specifically serves Javanese food) Backstory behind favorite dining spot of locals: ‘warteg’

NOT my warteg – don’t want it crowded out!

…has re-opened – the proprietrix, like most everyone else, goes back to her home-town, Tegal, Central Java, in her case, for every annual Idul Fitiri holiday.

And sure enough, it has!

A yummy feast, my brunch, of telor puyung, pare, rice, tempe, tahu and es teh manis – use Google translate – and all for under Rp.20,000 – about two Canadian bucks!

Both the lady owner and her young waitresses – she always bring some new ones back from her visits home – are friendly, and speedy at serving up the food.

If I thought the modest diner had a chance, I’d enter it in “Now Jakarta’s” annual competition…
