KFC — Restaurant in Jakarta

Written on May 14, 2025.

One of the franchise's flagship branches, located within walking distance from the Pancoran Tugu TransJakarta BRT stop of corridor 9. The restaurant is on the second floor, accessible via an elevator or stairs.

It is a large-sized branch with two dining areas: indoor and outdoor. It has a mini children's playground and it is available for birthday parties.

There are two self-ordering screens right next to the entrance. All orders can only be placed there. Ordering from the screen only accepts cashless payment methods (cards or online). If you want to pay cash, you need to complete the orders on the screen, bring the receipt to the cashier, and pay there. It is recommended that you use and order through their KFCKu app, which I did. It was quick and convenient, although, I still need to confirm my online orders to the staff member.

I ordered the Super Besar 1 meal with an additional potato fritter (perkedel). I asked for an upper thigh piece and had to wait for about ~8 mins. before it was ready. If you need condiments other than chili sauce, you have to ask for them to the staff members at the counter. While the chili sauce station can be found right across the counter.

All the food was up to the franchise's standards. Also, the staff members were nice...

Always fingerlickin' good!

Stuck in traffic from eastern corridor for nearly two hours, had only salad for brunch, decided to make a quick stop to cure my hunger 😁

Picked up two portions of cream soup and two portions of twisties.

While waiting, came across that KFC has Kue Pukis (traditional indonesian cake served with toppings), decided to try them.

Didn't get a chance to eat the Kue Pukis on that day, so kept it in the fridge overnight and heating it up with air fryer on the next day.

Honestly, I did not expect too much since I can't imagine Col. Sanders making Kue Pukis out of his recipe book 😁

But turns out really good, it is slightly different to your regular Kue Pukis since it is really soft and has this crumbly texture to it, almost like an old fashioned Kue Bolu. And the topping is good quality, you can tell from the peanuts, choco sprinkles, and cheese used on top of the cake itself.

Again, KFC continued to...

Mother of KFC, that is how I describe this place because as far as I know this is one of the oldest KFC in Indonesia plus the KFC holding company are located in this building too. Anyway you will find special treatment here, for example this KFC is one of the only three KFC in Indonesia that serve KFC grilled chicken. The ambience is quite classic with Swensen (now is Gelael Cafe) in the corner and old people singing golden oldies song...
