I came all the way from Sudirman to Jalan Pangeran Jayakarta, in Glodok, because I was told this street had some of the best Chinese street food stalls and warungs in Jakarta.
When I arrived, it was already late but some venues were still crowded. I chose one of them, Chasio Garing Acc, for a simple reason: They had air-conditioning. It turned out their unit was not functioning very well, so I had a chance to sweat a little, and also to get a few mosquito bites.
There isn't much to say about the inside as it looks like any typical warung: 4 walls with kitschy ornaments and posters, basic chairs and tables, and uncertain hygiene.
I had eaten the best Grilled Duck ever a week earlier in Liyen, and the one in Chasio Garing Acc was quite disappointing. Since it is twice as cheap in the latter, there wasn't much to expect anyway. I also tried the Beef Kwetiaw: The ingredients were not very fresh and the meat low quality. I only had a few bites and couldn't finish.

| Kwetiaw Sapi Kuah (Boiled Kwetiaw with Beef, Rp22k) |
 |
| Hainan Peking Bebek Panggan (Grilled Duck à la Hainan, Rp38k) |
Overall: I was hoping I would find a gem in Jalan Pangeran, and it didn't happen. Chasio Garing Acc is fine if you love Chinese food and live 50 meters from the restaurant. If not, I don't think it is worth it.

Try Harum restaurant, also around pangeran Jayakarta. Its "crab" meat which is basically made from pork and pig liver is its signature dish.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to taste Chinese Food in Jakarta, I recommend you to visit Muara Karang and Pluit in North Jakarta. You will find Duck Rice Noodle, Fried Chasio Kwetiaw, Hainanese Chicken Rice (with chasio pork of course), and other delish stuff. Most of the restaurant will open until midnight.
