My top recommendation for seafood place in Jakarta.
Air-conditioned indoor modern seafood restaurants, available for both walk-in and booking. They have huge parking lots (more than 100 lots), so it will be convenient for those who drive.
Top dishes:
1. Nasi Cakalang ($5 for 2-3 people) - Tuna baked rice in Indonesian style. They use coconut rice (nasi lemak) with cakalang fish toppings, a little bit spicy and savoury.
2. Udang Pancet Bakar ($8 for 5 shrimps) - Grilled Giant Shrimp that is super tender and juicy, topped with either honey sauce (sweet) or Banjar sauce (sweet & spicy)
Note: if you order ikan bakar (grill fish), they will ask you to choose which fish - my preference is “ikan kuwe” for grilled option. They have ‘live seafood’ option as well at higher price.
Top drinks & dessert
1. Alcopi ($3.3) - avocado, chocolate ice cream & coffee. Super duper good! The coffee is served separately, put it more coffee if you prefer to have your avocado less sweet
2. Es campur ($3) - shaved ice with rose syrup with coconut, avocado, jackfruit, chendol, and grassjelly
