Warteg or commonly known as
Warung Tegal is a very common food place that you can find almost everywhere here in Jakarta. They serve a variety of pre-cooked Indonesian dishes at a very affordable and cheap price. The downside of it, however, is that the places which are called
Warteg are usually not very comfortable as they are in the form of small eating places without any air conditioner inside. And as you can imagine how hot the weather in Jakarta is, well, you would pretty much feel like you're having your meal inside a sauna.
Just recently though! I managed to find a place in Menteng, called "
FAME - Food Art Menteng", which is basically a collection of Indonesian food stalls merged into one.
This FAME - Food Art Menteng consists of four restaurants / food stalls inside, namely Sate Sosial & Beer, Martabak Boss, Noodle Station and lastly Warteg Express. On this blog post, I would mostly talk about the Warteg Express, since it is the most unique one here in my opinion. We also had the satays from Sate Sosial & Beer here, so keep your eyes out for them!
