Lilla Lady: Jakarta

Me and a couchsurfer, Meiliana, from Jakarta decided to meet up so she could show me a bit of what Jakarta had to offer. First we went to Kota Tua (old town) where they were selling everything from traditional instruments to kitchen supplies and boatequipment

This is an Anklung a traditional instrument in Indonesia, which I tried to play but it didn't work very well :)

The boatmuseum in Kota Tua

We also went to Chinatown and tried all different kind of stuff!

Buah lontar

Strange thing that is a little bit like coconut but more soft and inside it has a sweet liquid:

Cute little bicycle hiring:

One of all the different types of transportation you can take in Indonesia; bajaj

Kue ape, tastes like pancake with vanillaflavour

Kue Pancong, like a ricepudding with coconut and vanillaflavour:

In the middle of all streetfood I saw this and wondered what it was, it didn't seem to be anything eatable to me but it turned out that they were making sugar cane juice or sari tebu that it is called in Indonesia

A lot of candy!

Felt so sorry for this frogs that were alive but tied up and lying next to the already dead ones!

Cincau, some sort of jellything and syrup

Toge Goreng, fried beensprouts

Since we were in Chinatown we also made a visit in a chinesetemple, the first time for me

Made our way to Jalan Jaksa a backpacker area and decided to try a restaurant that I had read about in my lonely planet guide

Juices with superpowers it sounds like ;)

I said I would order a "slimmy shape juice" and perhaps it would make me lose a few kilos, I tried to asked what was in this juice but the ingredients were appearntly secret ;)
