🇮🇩 Asemka Market, Indonesia 🏖️ Atmosphere/Facilities: A commercial area located near Jakarta's Chinatown. The nearby traffic is busy. The goods sold are not high-end, but if you want to experience a more local side of Jakarta, this is a place to visit! 💞 Recommended Reason: For some reason, everything sold here is related to the Indonesian flag, as if everyone is celebrating Independence Day. So, I also bought some Indonesian flag-themed items. Thirty small flags cost about 35,000 Indonesian Rupiah, approximately 63 New Taiwan Dollars. You can take them home to share with family and friends. 💰 Average Spending: Depends on what you buy 🕰️ Business Hours: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM 📍 Address: Jl. Asemka No.3 3, RT.3/RW.6, Pinangsia, Kec. Taman Sari, Kota Jakarta Barat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 11110 📹 Filming Date: 2025.7.22

📍Jakarta: 4 Malls & 1 Cafe District in 24 hours ⏳ ✈️ Getting There - Airasia flight 🛏️ Hotels - Parkroyal Services Suites Jakarta • One of the best place to stay with Grand Indonesia just 5mins away you can either walk or take grab/gojek. Connected to a mall with restaurants & cafes. 🍽️ Food & Restaurants - Warung Leko & Blok M cafes • Blok M should be a half-day activity and not a stop in your itinerary. And need to come on weekdays and early as the locals and tourists both love this place. So many food to discover here! 🛍️ Shopping - Grand Indonesia, Thamrin City, Sarinah, Lipo Mall Nusantara • Shopping here is easy but navigating around in less than 24h was difficult to cover all floors. • Grand Indonesia is for the mainstream brands (uniqlo, ohsome!, sociollo) • Thamrin city is for the traditional shopping (telekung, batik, dresses, abayas, inner wears, scarves). • Lipo mall had Tomorrow world which houses alot of Indonesia local perfume brands and other local brands. #centraljakarta #grandindonesia #thamrincityshopping #sarinah #south_jakarta #blokm

We stepped into Istiqlal Mosque just as the midday sun filtered through the grand domes, casting shifting patterns of light across the marble floors. The vastness of the prayer hall felt like standing inside a cathedral of silence, broken only by the soft echo of footsteps and the distant murmur of water from the ablution fountains. Outside, frangipani trees bloomed quietly, their scent drifting like a gentle offering. The air held a stillness, as if the city’s pulse slowed in deference to the mosque’s immense grace 🕌☁️ At Menteng Park, the city seemed to exhale. Tall trees framed winding paths where joggers passed with nods, their strides steady against the hush of leaves overhead. The sun played hide-and-seek between branches, dappling the ground in restless light. A gentle breeze carried the scent of earth and fresh grass, mingling with the aroma of street coffee from a nearby cart. Here, Jakarta felt contemplative, a city that could pause, breathe, and remember green. 🌳☕🌤️ By evening, we found ourselves at Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), where the shoreline met sky in a stretch of soft pastels. The boardwalk buzzed with couples and families, the air rich with the sizzle of seafood grilling nearby and the sweetness of bubble tea in hand. Lanterns swayed above the crowds, their warm glow casting cozy halos on conversations. Waves whispered just beyond the walkway, a gentle soundtrack to a neighborhood that knew how to blend leisure with the lingering hum of the sea 🌅🍤🍹 #jakatarguide #travel #myitinerary

Found the perfect little spot tucked away from the city buzz, with warm lights, good music, and even better coffee. The kind of place where time slows down a little.

#jakatarguide One of my favorite café stops in Jakarta turned out to be a charming little escape from the city noise. The moment I walked in, I was welcomed by rustic wooden furniture, warm lighting, and vintage details like a typewriter on the counter and tiny potted plants. It felt like stepping into someone’s cozy home. I ordered a cup of chamomile tea and let the calming scent do its magic while I admired the cute corners of the café. What made this spot special was its peaceful atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be either reading, chatting softly, or just enjoying the moment. It’s the kind of place where time slows down—perfect for solo travelers like me to rest and recharge. If you're in Jakarta and want a slow moment with good tea, this café is a gem worth finding.

#summervacay So big, this Jakarta — endless high-rises stretch to the horizon, buzzing with life. 🏙️ So hot, this Jakarta — the sun wraps around you like a heavy blanket. ☀️🌡️ So crowded, this Jakarta — people everywhere, from bustling street markets to jam-packed sidewalks. 🧍♀️🧍 So full of motorbikes, this Jakarta — weaving like a never-ending river of wheels. 🛵💨 So twisty, these roads of Jakarta — Google Maps sometimes gives up. 🗺️🔄 It’s a city that overwhelms at first glance, but slowly reveals its soul. In the noise, you find rhythm. In the chaos, you find color. In the everyday moments — a smile from a vendor, golden light over old shophouses — you find poetry. 📸 #MyViewOfTheWorld #StreetPhotographyVibes #LayersOfTheCity #JakartaDiaries #ArchitecturePhotography #UrbanJungle #CityWanderer

The newest branch of Blue Doors in Central Jakarta! One of the favorite coffee shops in Bandung that just opened its second branch in Jakarta. With its distinctive rustic vintage design, the atmosphere here makes you feel comfortable and is perfect for hanging out. Has anyone ever been here? [BLUE DOORS- MENTENG] ? JI.

📍 Itinerary Overview: Central and South Jakarta have lots of historical sites, places to eat, and shopping options. Chinatown is full of life and places to eat. 🚩 Sightseeing Route: Avoid the Old Town. The main square and buildings have been closed off with metal barriers and security to prevent access. The rest is shabby and run down. 🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions: National Monument, Jakarta Cathedral, and Istiqlal Mosque 🚇 Transportation: Bus stops are unmissable. They are raised platforms. Buses are frequent and cheap. There is an attendant working at each stop, so as soon as you look like you don't know what you are doing, they come over to help. 📷 Photo Spots: The Cathedral and Mosque are in close proximity to each other. 🍜 Local Cuisine: Hard to find local cuisine. It's mainly big chains and shopping malls, but keep looking around back streets behind malls. They are full of street venders. 🏠 Accommodation: As expected, there are hotels all over. Many seem to be more expensive than other parts of South East Asia, but there is a range of prices. 💡 Tips: Buy a bus travel card if you intend on seeing a lot of the city. The city is huge and tiring to travel on foot. The bus travel card is very cheap.

As the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta is full of unique charm. Visit Independence Square to feel the profound sense of history and truly experience the spirit of the nation's independence. Step into Istiqlal Mosque to admire the magnificent dome and exquisite arches, and feel the solemnity of Islamic architecture.

When night falls, the bustling night markets are filled with lively voices, showcasing a dazzling array of unique handicrafts and snacks, full of everyday life atmosphere.

#favouriteitinerary I was traveling to Jakarta for business and after I was done, ready to fly back to Singapore, I had a chance to rest at Plaza Premium Lounge at Soekarno Hatta International Airport.

#asiatrip The newest branch of SiniLagi located in Pangpol Jaksel, not far from MRT Blok M St. The appearance of the front facade looks elegant with an elegant and homey classic vintage interior. For the indoor area, there are several seating spots with every corner being instagrammable. The menu is very complete, be it coffee, non-coffee or food. I came here to order the signature drink, which is a double layer espresso with a special milk concoction and served cold without ice. The savory creamy taste and the espresso flavor are a perfect and delicious combination. In addition, I also ordered a hot cappuccino which tastes medium bold and bitter dark chocolate. For the food menu, I tried SiniLagi's signature noodles which are salty and savory with chewy noodles and mushroom toppings, sweet chicken pieces, meatballs and wontons. The portion is quite filling and delicious. Overall, SiniLagi Pangpol adds to the list of delicious and comfortable coffee shops, especially for the Blok M and PangPol areas. Address : Jl. Panglima Polim IX No.2, RT.2/RW.6, Melawai, Kby. Baru District, South Jakarta City, Special Capital Region of Jakarta 12160
