Explore the Legendary Street Food in Jakarta with Daihatsu Ayla!

The Daihatsu Ayla is not only suitable for accompanying you to the office. This compact car can also be taken to search for delicious legendary culinary spots in Jakarta. With its typical city car design, you don't have to worry about encountering traffic jams. The Ayla can maneuver through the congestion of the capital city. The question is, what culinary delights are worth visiting in an Ayla? If it's a restaurant or café in a mall, that's quite ordinary.
Try choosing legendary street food in Jakarta. Parking might be a bit tricky due to the narrow spaces, but with the Ayla, it's certainly not a problem. More importantly, even though it's street food, the taste should not lose to a five-star restaurant. So, where are these street food locations? If you want to know, let's check out the following discussion:
1. Nasi Goreng Kambing Kebon Sirih
The Nasi Goreng Kambing Kebon Sirih stall is sure to be crowded with culinary enthusiasts every night. This culinary spot is located on Kebon Sirih Barat I street. If you take the Ayla from Jalan Sabang, you'll reach the Kebon Sirih intersection, then turn right. Don't rush, because the Nasi Goreng Kambing is not far from there. It's on the right side of the road, slightly set back, next to Menara Ravindo.
For goat meat lovers, this culinary spot, which has been around since 1958, is a paradise. The meat pieces are large, tender, and plentiful. The portion of rice is also more than enough. For those who are hungry, this is the perfect place to fill your stomach. The price for a portion of goat fried rice is around Rp 40 thousand. It may seem expensive, but the portion is enough for two people.
2. Gulai Tikungan Blok M
Don't go into Blok M Plaza. Just park your Ayla around Jalan Bulungan. There, you'll find many legendary gulai sellers. Because of its location near the corner of Blok M Plaza, it's called Gulai Tikungan (Gultik). The price is only Rp 10 thousand per portion. You get rice with savory beef gulai. Cheap, right? Usually, one portion is not enough. You should at least order two. One more thing, if you eat gulai here, make sure to bring a lot of small change. There will be many street musicians that will make your dinner atmosphere more enjoyable.
3. Es Krim Ragusa
If you're looking for a delicious dessert, come here. The legendary Ragusa Ice Cream Italia 1932 in Jakarta has been operating for that long, and the taste is guaranteed to be great. Ragusa Ice Cream uses fresh cow's milk as its base and contains no preservatives. Its soft texture is a hallmark. There are many flavor options: mocha, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, nougat, durian, raisin, and more.
There are also some unique menu options, like Spaghetti Ice Cream. The dessert prices here range from Rp 15-35 thousand per portion. If you want to stop by, the location is around Monas. Specifically at Jalan Veteran 1 No. 10, Central Jakarta. Open from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. For those in a hurry, don't worry. Ragusa Ice Cream is also suitable for enjoying inside the Ayla. Just don't eat while driving!
4. Warteg Warmo Tebet
Are you hungry and happen to be in the Tebet area? Just stop by the legendary Warteg Warmo. Open 24 hours, without a break. At first glance, it looks just like any other warteg. However, it is incredibly busy. But as for parking, your Ayla is guaranteed to find a spot. In terms of the menu, it’s not different from other wartegs. The difference is in the taste; the food at Warteg Warmo truly tantalizes the taste buds. Even though the space is cramped and without AC, and you have to squeeze in with other customers, Warmo, which has been around since 1970, remains busy to this day.
So, how about it? Are you interested in trying the legendary culinary spots in Jakarta? After tasting these four, there's no harm in looking for other culinary places. Let's explore the streets of Jakarta with the Daihatsu Ayla and discover its special culinary delights!
