Pasar Santa — Attraction in Jakarta

A hype place for online food vendors. I try to dine in this time around and look around all the stalls in the foodcourt.

Based on my experience the stalls varied greatly in variety. Some is a hit and some is a miss. Mostly a miss for me.

I tried boss lady fried chicken + rice + egg, it was quite underseasoned. I also ordered boss lady chicken fried meatballs, it was all flour with no hint of anything else.

The hojicha latte from matchanata is very nice to taste. But the price is quite steep considering they offer no place to sit.

The handwashing area is run down and quote dirty. There are also little cockroaches in sight on the common dining table. Plus the foodcourt is on the roof, so it was super hot in the lunch time with no fan (each vendor bring their own little fans even).

I like the theme of the market and traditional stalls but I don’t like the price tags and the hygiene of the place. Sorry I won’t be coming...

This was my highlight from my short trip to the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta. We stayed for about three days and visited as many places as possible. This bookshop was my pick of the trip, my brother and grandmother didnt want to tag along so it was just me and my aunt. The Santa Modern Market itself was a very humid location, the bookshop that i had wanted to visit was located inside it. Post Bookshop is a tiny nook inside the market, filled to the brim with...you guessed it, books! With authors from everywhere around the world inside such a tiny shop you could say I was overwhelmed. I ended up choosing an english translation of an Indonesian author under Vintage Publishings called The Wanderer. I felt proud to see a female SEA author get the oppurtunity of being published by a well known publishing house....

Coffee bean shops are closed usually at Jam 6 pm Visiting experience : 1, It's not easy for a taxi driver to find by GPS map, I walked 10 Mins after the taxi drove me off, here are the pasar outside looking. 2, As for the coffee, located in the basement. only a few shops sell coffee and the customers mainly choose "Dunia kopi'" even though I don't know if it's a brand or shop name. I posted the pic 😀. 3, The prices are not negotiable and it's quite cheap. You can buy 100grams( range from 16K to 50K approximately ) for each taste and ask them to grind to power( you need to tell them how you will make coffee in order to decide the power grind degree) 4, Ps: you can also find delicious Japanese noodles in The Basement also, the price is...
