Transport in Jakarta
- charlieb: Is the Grab or Gojek bike better for getting through the traffic in the afternoon? I tried a car yesterday and it took 2 hours to go 5km lol.
Food in Jakarta
- sophiak: You have to try the Martabak Manis from the street stalls around Menteng. It's basically a massive pancake with chocolate and cheese and it's incredible.
Costs in Jakarta
- marcor: Jakarta is way cheaper than I expected compared to Bali, especially for high end malls and dining.
Hidden gems in Jakarta
- dylanm: Check out the old town area (Kota Tua) but go early in the morning before it gets too humid. The architecture is cool but the museums are a bit hit or miss.
Night life in Jakarta
- jenny_x: Any recommendations for decent rooftop bars that aren't super expensive?
