Walking into the open air food court, a myriad of smells hits you all at once. Clusters of people from all walks of life sit on stools, laughing, sharing a variety of food. Wandering through the stalls, you’re not quite sure what you should try. Japanese ramen? Thai curry? Indian naan and curry? Chinese stir fry? There’s something for everyone.
Unable to find decent Indian in Jakarta, I opt for a vegetarian Indian platter with a pile of basmati rice, three different curries, dum aloo (dry cooked potatoes), and the butteriest, flakiest naan I’ve ever tasted. Diving in with my hands, I quickly devour most of my plate. Delicious!
After tonight, I’m looking forward to my next hawker stall meal in Singapore! What will I try next?
Ooh, as always, you make the food sound amazing! The pictures remind me of Blade Runner, though, with all the crowded stalls and red lanterns.
Haha Blade Runner!!
A visual feast! And not too expensive, right? We did a hawkers tour and enjoyed all the sights, sounds, smells, but best of all tastes.
Very cheap. Drink and dinner for 10 Singapore dollars!
