Obligatory picture of the nasi goreng I got delivered to my hostel for $2.50. I was starting to get worried about eating – there isn’t much in the area, and a lot of it isn’t very accessible without speaking the language – but Grab is a lifesaver.
Cheap food aside, Jakarta has yet to wow me. It’s not a great city for walking around — things are spread out, the infrastructure and traffic patterns aren’t friendly to pedestrians, and it feels grimy. I hear it has some good clubs though, so we’ll see.
In other news, a local told me that Surabaya isn’t worth visiting, so I may just skip it and spend some extra time in Bali.
I think your culinary experiences will continue to improve. Sounds like good advice about Surabaya.
