Warung Kopi Indra (Aseng) — Restaurant in Tarakan

Best place for knowing about Tarakan socialite life, especially elite people. Tarakan people said many people gather in this place: from bad guys to policeman, from journalist to politicians, and from civilian to soldiers. This place always full with people for a long time. Usually, they chat while enjoy the meal and beverages. Some of them are politicians. In this place, they make politics lobbying and discuss about Tarakan city condition.

Old but legendary Coffee Shop in Tarakan. Anyone who visit Tarakan should try this coffee shop.

We ordered roti telur kari ayam, es kopi susu, jeruk kiamboi, kwetiau goreng, Maggie noodle, bakpao, bihun kuah, misoa kuah. All taste great! The service was fast and friendly too.

Definitely recommend...
