🚀A Glimpse into the Heart of Indonesia 🚀

[Pantai Indah Kapuk Street (PIK), Jakarta]

PIK is one of Jakarta's nightlife districts. It is like a mini “Chinatown” with beautiful lighting along the street. There are numerous food stalls selling variety of delights ranging from local to western and chinese cuisine. The pagoda with Guan Yin statue at the end of the street is a major draw for this location. PIK is best visited during the night.

We managed to queued for their famous “NASI CAMPUR AFUK” (Cha Siew and Siew Yok Rice), Satay and Fish porridge. Very delicious !
