Stroll its day and night markets to explore the vibrant street food culture of Jakarta. Dive into local favourites such as ketoprak (a mix of tofu, vegetables, rice cake, and rice vermicelli served in peanut sauce), martabak (stuffed pancake), and siomay (steamed dumplings). Wander through bustling street markets like Pasar Baru and Jalan Sabang to sample authentic Indonesian street delights that capture the essence of Jakarta's culinary heritage.

Pasar Baru is known for its Sate Padang—grilled beef or chicken skewers bathed in a flavourful, spiced yellow sauce. Make your way to Sate Padang Ajo Ramon for a mouthwatering experience. For a comforting and hearty bowl of meatball soup, try Bakso at Bakso Afung. This popular Indonesian street food features meatballs, noodles, and a flavourful broth that will satisfy your cravings.

If you are at Jalan Sabang, indulge your sweet tooth with Martabak, a stuffed pancake in both sweet and savoury varieties. The sweet version, known as 'Martabak Manis', features a thick, fluffy batter, similar to an American pancake but with a richer, almost cake-like texture. On the savoury side, 'Martabak Telor' is a thin, crispy pancake filled with a mixture of beaten eggs, minced meat (usually beef or chicken), and a blend of aromatic spices and herbs. Jalan Sabang is home to numerous Martabak stalls, but Martabak San Francisco is particularly renowned for its variety of flavours, including chocolate, cheese, and condensed milk. 

For something more savoury, delight in the rich and aromatic flavours of Soto Betawi, a traditional beef soup. Warung Soto Betawi Haji Masturi is a popular spot on Jalan Sabang to savour this iconic Jakarta dish.
