Sydney BR, I haven’t been to Jakarta in many years, but I gather Lori over at Dessertcomesfirst is currently or was recently there and has some suggestions…I would try her blog, its on my links page. However, in general, I think the eating scene in Jakarta has really progressed in leaps and bounds, from traditional food to western set-ups… I would at least hit a noodle house, the low brow but utterly delicious Bakmi Gajah Madah is a bit like going to a Jollibee but I personally loved it. You must have your fill of sate. And you should probably have a rijstafel, which is kind of like a buffet, but in good restaurants, they bring the 15+ dishes to you so you can pick and choose… ask your local hosts where the best place to get a real rijstafel… it used to be the Oasis restaurant but that is dated, sort of my like encouraging you to say hit Aristocrat or even Nielsen Tower in Manila…enjoy your trip!

Hi Marketman, what are your favorite restaurants and markets in Jakarta? I heard that they have some great seafood markets similar to our ‘paluto’ markets. Will be going there on a business trip at the end of the month.

your roasted duck looks yummy. i would eat duck any way, any where. i managed to actually bake magret de canard. not expensive here in paris. about 6euros for a breast. and it came with cooking/serving instructions! just salt/pepper and voila! crispy skinned, med rare au jus.

Well if you need a recipe for peking duck and wrapper, just holler…but frozen peking duck is hard to come by nowadays. Do you know where I can buy them? Also, what kind of duck did you use and where is it sold? Thanks!
