Chinatown Jakarta FOOD HEAVEN!! 10 Indonesian STREET FOODS in Glodok, Indonesia!

Welcome to Indonesia's largest and oldest Chinatown in the heart of Jakarta! Otherwise known as Glodok, here you can find not just Chinese food but food from across Indonesia. This is my updated 2024 list of recommendations for Chinatown!
Every visit to Jakarta should include a stop in Chinatown. There is so much culture and history packed into a complex network of alleys always lined with street food vendors. These vendors are some of the hardest working and honest people you'll ever meet. Working long hours to produce sometimes only one dish to absolute perfection.

chinatown in Jakarta has two type, Old ChinaTown in Glodok and New ChinaTown in PIK 2 (Pantai Indah Kapuk). so happy travel.

[@blueeeid]

as someone who lived in this area, thanks for enjoying our daily cuisine. Even i haven't really tried that all ! if you are planning to visit glodok area again, you should definitely try "Masakan 19" mini restoraunt (near Pasar Pagi ). Their springrolls (Lumpia Shanghai) and Fuyunghai is the best. It's worth to try ! not so far from masakan 19, there is someone who sell Gado Gado as well (Similiar to ketoprak). There is also Soto Pak Dadang, Sate, and a lot of others thing you should try ! notify me when you are planning to visit Glodok once again ! Would love to accompany you

Hey Luke, great to have you back in Indonesia. Btw, wanna know what's funny? My fiance (he's American) will come to my hometown in Bogor in February 19th & he's been browsing youtube to see places that have yummy foods. Today he happened to find this video & he screenshot the scene when you had Ketoprak & messaged it to me when we chatted before I went to work. I was so surprised, I spontaneously exclaimed "You're watching Luke Martin! He's one of my favorite food vlogger." Well, we have planned to go to Glodok & your video gives information about more food we can try when we get there. Thanks for making this video, keep up the good work!

[@aster-ramadewanti7590]

Missing my hometown even more, since I have not been back for some time now. Thank you for sharing the awesomeness that Jakarta is

Thank you for the wonderful video of 10 Indonesian street foods 👍

[@giannishen]

The fried bananas look special, hats off to that hardworking chef! Coconut milk and turmeric are both healthy ingredients, and if the meal turns out to be delicious, that’s great! When I was a kid, if I put that kind of biscuit in rice, my parents would definitely scold me, but I didn’t expect it to be an Indonesian delicacy! This is the first time I see you being funny 15:00, you have great talent. haha! You did a really great job! Thanks a lot for sharing! 👍😄👏

Thanks Gianni! Glad you liked it :)

[@vrycanz]

next time u go to china town make sure to bring chindo with you, cos we have different food preference there.

[@jviarruel]

That's funny Luke, I make peanut butter toast! 😋😋😋😋

Breakfast with KETOPRAK.... I hope it's not heavy breakfast for you as an european, mate... 😃 Coz KETOPRAK is common breakfast type for Indonesia people.

[@yesthere5418]

6:44 When you eat bakso or soto or any meal like that, the taste will be bland. Indonesian usually add soy sauce, chilly, white pepper, or even more salt into the bowl because the seller makes the food with basic state, and the consumer add more flavor to their own taste. That's why you can see see soy sauce and chill sauce on ever table.

Hai luke ,where are you come from..? I'm from magelang,come here

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

I love you guys, Luke and Arie; but you went to Jakarta’s Chinatown and you didn’t try enough Chinese Indonesian dishes 😢 Granted _mi kangkung_ is something unique because of its Chinese and Indonesian fusion of flavors, but you should’ve tried things like _nasi campur_ (rice with assorted pork), _siomay_ (Chinese Indonesian-style of shumai), _nasi tim_ (minced pork on steamed rice), etc. Don’t get me wrong, I love stuff Iike _soto tangkar, nasi ulam_ and _cempedak goreng_ but you were in friggin’ Chinatown, please have something you can’t get elsewhere 😭 And you definitely need to have better _bakmi_ recommendations with actual _tu bak_ (pork) in them.

[@LukeMartin]

Haha I understand! We wanted to eat more than just Chinese food because I’ve done an episode in the past on that

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

@@LukeMartin yes, saw that one as well a long time ago. There are still a lot to discover in Chinatown. It’s always to have you back in Indonesia, Luke! 🍻

Does anyone know ... The broth in the nasi ulam - is that beef broth?

[@tt-cv9tk]

Do you know ari's KZbin channel?

[@ToniWongCIM]

Hmmm.. i wouldnt call it 'cheap' as it can be interpreted in various ways but i think you meant 'cheap' as in the monet you paid with the flavour and the portion size for a meal.

[@LukeMartin]

Yes that’s what I meant

[@abuuwais508]

Eating Soto Tangkar without rice? That's illegal 😅

[@charlesmartell2396]

You went to Chinatown without local Chinese and only tried 1 Chinese dish😂😂

[@LukeMartin]

Yup! That’s the best thing about Chinatown, more than just Chinese food

[@ronalfirnando2475]

​​@@LukeMartini think you must change the food tour gaet because he just recommend sweet food , sweet food its not healthy i saw on some food vlogger he just eating sweet food how the poor food tour guide

[@haveltrahasdani3547]

Its called indonesia chinatown

[@coolestgangsta7164]

its called “chinatown” not “chinese food” indonesian-chinese aint sticking to their culgure that much anymore.

[@SummerBlooming7]

​@@ronalfirnando2475i agreed with you dude , he just showing what kind of food he likes, he never try a new one, i just laughed when spicy tour food he just go to nasi kapau restaurant, or sundanese food , ofc its spicy , but still mild.. there's so many places or the viral one like sambal bakar , or abang adek indomie

[@SummerBlooming7]

Luke , i think u have to change your food tour guide , he's only showing what kind of food he likes , when spicy food tour comin' he just go to kapau , padang , or sundanese .. i laughed so hard , ofc its good , but not for spicy edition.. there's so many a good places and virals restaurant in Jakarta.. like sambal bakar , richeese , mie abang adek , etc..
