Jakarta Restaurant - Baso Malang Karapitan


If you are in Jakarta and would liked to try Indonesian food as part of your overall traveling experience; where can you go if you are traveling on a tight budget?
One of my favourite restaurant is called Baso Malang Karapitan. Over here, you can have a good meal without burning a hole in your wallet. It has six outlets in Jakarta, located in shopping malls.



My first impression of this place is that it is clean and the decor is simple and functional. It looks also like a fast food restaurant. The staff crew work fast and efficient. Taking down your orders is quick and your meal will arrive at your table in minutes. If you are clueless of what to order, ask for the menu or simply try their house special. My personal recommendations are as follows: -



1) Baso Malang Super Komplit - which is basically noodles in soup with meat balls and crispy crackers.
2) Nasi Sop Daging Iga - sliced meat in clear soup and rice.
3) Nasi Goreng - which is simply known as Fried Rice
4) Nasi ayam Bakar Komplit - chicken rice.
5) Ice Lemon Tea - very refreshing
6) Es Kelapa - coconut served with cold ice.
7) Bubble Tea blue coral - if you love sweet drinks, this is it


A meal for two persons can cost about US$10/- - depending on what you order and of course how much you want to eat. Nice isn't it? What is more, you are enjoying your meal in a nice, clean and air-conditioned environment. Avoid lunch and dinner peak hours - as it will be crowded.


Location in Jakarta

3) Mal Ciputra

5) Supermall Karawaci
