Laksa Betawi



Maybe you know laksa as a Malay dish from Malaysia and Singapore. But, there is a Betawi version. It’s served with ketupat, bean sprouts, egg, and chives.

Sayur Babanci



Sayur Babanci is served with ketupat or steamed rice cake during the fasting month and Eid. Nowadays it has become rare as the spices used to cook it are difficult to find. Despite the name, it doesn’t use sayur (vegetables) at all. In fact, it tastes like gulai, a meat-based Indonesian dish.

Ketoprak



This Jakarta traditional food is a vegetarian-friendly dish. It is made of vegetables, tofu, boiled egg, lontong (steamed rice cake), and bihun (rice vermicelli). Ketoprak is served with peanut sauce, sweet soy sauce, and red onion. You can say that it’s a traditional salad.
