Kong Djie Siburik — Restaurant in Bangka-Belitung Islands

So the Kong Djie franchises themselves are ubiquitous throughout this island and even in Jakarta. This is their first outlet, and that makes it historical in its own way.

The food was amazing. The coffee was strong (called Kopi O), and you can also request the version with condensed milk (Kopi Susu), gonna be sweet. Try the local deep fried snacks — there’s risoles, lumpia and such. Just take it out from the platters and declare what you took when you’re done.

The most enthralling thing about this place though is that in the mornings it’s full of locals. Mostly tour guides. They’re gonna speak English so if you didn’t even hire one, you can rely on their friendliness if you’re overwhelmed with the ordering flow :) if you understand Indonesian… the conversations are plentiful and interesting — mostly movie-worthy! (Yeah, there’s not much by way of privacy, it’s like a coffee tavern in a way.)

You can also do a little photo op if you feel like it, just ask the mamaks.

Oh and there’s free WiFi too. Charging is...

Probably one of the most visited coffee shop in the city, very popular among the locals and open for 24 hours. I visited three times throughout my one week stay in Belitung.

The coffee and tea (milk tea) is very thick, and milk tea is more on the sweeter side (although you can request for less condensed milk). There are 3 different shift of worker/staff, the young ones on the second shift (afternoon to night) i think make the best milk tea, the late night shift make the best pisang keju (grilled banana with cheese on top). Try the pisang keju if you come late at night.

There are several snacks you can try as well as far as it is available. Price is cheaper than Ake at komplek cafe senang but this one is definitely more crowded.

Staff is very friendly and helpful for clueless tourist like me and your order will come...

this place is the oldest kong djie outlet branch that has been around since 1943. this is a traditional coffee shop, so there's nothing like macchiato, cappuccino, etc. the place looks dingy but the drinks and foods are actually decent.

for drinks they have coffee, chocolate, tea and many more. you can order them hot or cold. for the coffee you can choose to mix it with sugar or condensed milk, but for the chocolate drink you can only use condensed milk. they will give you the condensed milk, so you can put just as much as you want to. they also sell the dry coffee and chocolate powders.

for the food they have ramen noodles, grilled banana, and fried cassava. they also have different kinds of snacks near the counter, such as donuts, onde-onde, steamed bun, martabak. they're not exactly the same...
