Jakarta's Legendary Michelin-Level Dining: Kaum 🌟🍽️
Tucked in Central Jakarta, Kaum boasts a massive dining area—perfect for a weekend walk-in (no reservation needed!). While it's on the pricier side for Indonesian cuisine, their appetizers are absolute gold 😋 🌿 Ambience & Vibe Wooden interiors + lush greenery = restaurant goals. The space is huge, and the coffee bar is separate from the dining area. The air is filled with the aromatic blend of spices and charcoal smoke—pure sensory bliss. 🔥 Must-Try Dishes 1️⃣ Crispy Fried Duck (Bebek Goreng) The skin is paper-thin crispy, and the meat is unbelievably thick and juicy—nothing like your average nasi padang duck. Paired with coconut-infused sides, the veggies carry a sweet coconut sugar aroma that elevates the whole dish. 2️⃣ Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice, 85K IDR) Fluffy, separate grains with crispy shrimp crackers, pineapple chunks, and a sunny-side-up egg. The layers of flavor are chef’s kiss. 3️⃣ Chicken Satay (Sate Ayam) Charcoal-grilled chicken skewers glazed in rich sweet soy sauce—tender, juicy, and perfectly balanced sweet-salty. 4️⃣ Oxtail Soup (Sop Buntut) Wait, this isn’t just soup? It’s ultra-rich and meant for mixing with rice (generous portions!). The curry-infused broth is deeply flavorful, and the side veggies are plentiful. 5️⃣ Passion Fruit Juice (Less Sugar) Insanely sour but fixable with their in-house syrup. 6️⃣ Palm Sugar Coconut Latte Indonesian palm sugar meets coconut milk and coffee—every note shines. 💡 Pro Tips Order less than you think—portions are huge. Super close to the city center, and the ambiance is Instagrammable. Total damage: ~300K IDR (~$20 USD) per person (if you don’t go overboard like me 😅). #FoodWithoutBorders #JakartaEats #KaumJakarta #InstaFood #JakartaLife
