Check out my blog post about Warung Mak Dower► https://migrationology.com/betawi-food-warung-mak-dower/
When I was in Jakarta, along with eating all sorts of regional Indonesian food from around the country, I really wanted to eat a full spread of Betawi dishes, which are the people originally from the Jakarta area.
After doing some research I came across Warung Mak Dower, and decided to take the trip from across Jakarta to eat there. It was well worth visiting, and the food was incredible.
Here are the dishes I ordered:
Sayur asem (vegetable tamarind soup)
Ikan cue goreng bawang (fried fish with shallots)
Cumi asin lenong (salted squid dish)
Jengkol nampol (dogfruit chili)
Pete goreng (fried stink beans)
Pete bawang (stink beans and fried shallots)
Everything was pretty good, but nothing compared to the dishes that included stink beans and crispy shallots, and the jengkol nampol, a dish of cooked dogfruit in lots of chili and garlic. It was simply an overload of flavor.
Warung Mak Dower is a great friendly family run Betawi restaurant that’s well worth checking out when you’re in Jakarta.

Jengkol is the best hahaha
Hi Mark. I love your videos. Your descriptions are quite vivid as well as entertaining. You are quite positive in your reviews, perhaps too much so? Is there nothing in Indonesian food you don't like? I think if you drank water, you would roll your eyes, roll your head and say how amazing and delicious the water is. – lol. I would like to see a little more criticism of foods that you thought were not up to your hopes or expectations. Perhaps a rating from 1 to 10? My wife is Indonesian by the way, and I love Indonesian food for the most part except for stinky beans and ikan asin (stinky fish).
Mr Mark, pleas come again to our country Indonesia, Jakarta 🙏
Betawi has spicy food also..like spicy jengkol bean..beside that jengkol bean can also be cooked as rendang jengkol and semur jengkol (sweat flavour)..I like both 😁⚘
Once you try Indonesian food, you can never go back. The variety of the taste cannot be compared, only in Indonesia you can eat sour vegetable soup but you will never feel it is wrong.
Ke sini gegara abis liat video ken & grat
I always love the intro song
If u look for some seafood, u need to travel around those island. .
