Warung Mak Dower — Restaurant in Jakarta

One of the best traditional Betawi cuisine. Even simple dish like gabus goreng (fried snakehead) and genjer oncom are very delicious.

Free refill for rice and sayur asem. The sayur asem is superb. And yes you can refill fo your heart contents.

The sambal is very hot and top notch! Love it! The fried chicken dipped in sambal is extremely delicious and very very hot it burns your tongue!

You really need to eat them with rice. Or else your tongue will feel a bit numb because they were mostly salty. If you are on carbohydrate diet, skip this restaurant.

Downfall: the price is expensive for traditional Indonesian restaurant in Indonesia.

But overall, 5 stars is the best description for the quality and quantity (free refills)...

The best Betawi authentic culinary in Jakarta. You must try its Pecak Bandeng. For someone who doesn't like the taste of kencur/cikur (aromatic ginger) which is the must-be-there ingredients in Pecak dishes, I must admit that taste of kencur in this Pecak Bandeng is absolutely blended harmoniously with all others ingredients. It doesn't dominate other taste, even it taste better. The freshness, the umami, the spicy, it really blends well in a perfect balance. The Bandeng itself is also well cooked, they used sea milkfish, so the meat tastes fresh and doesn't...

From the outside, the Betawi food restaurant really tries to give impression of a Betawi traditional house concept. But it's done cheaply and poorly. Now, let's talk about food. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, recommending the gabus (snakehead fish) pucung and jambal (salted fish), with rice and sayur asam. I don't hate the fish but it's rather tasteless. The salted fish is quite spicy and nice. But what surprise me the most is it's surprisingly pricey, considering the taste...
