Glodok is the biggest Chinatown in old Jakarta with lots of traditional markets,hawker stalls and temples.The locals tend to call it Kota which might be confusing.
The best place to purchase electronics gadgets in Jakarta is in Glodok Plaza or the Chinatown.
This plaza has clusters of electronic stores that sell the hottest electronics gadgets at lower prices. You can find a wide array of laptops, computers, digital cameras, cell phones and more.
Glodok Plaza is also known as the Mangga Dua Mall and is commonly described as the Technology Bazaar.
Earlier I landed in Grogol which was far to the west on the way to Tangerang in Banten Province whereas Glodok is in Jakarta Pusat Prefecture. Both names sound quite the same.
From Sarinah Busway Halte,the TransJakarta busway fare was Rupiah 3,500 in a comfortable aircond ride will first take you to Harmoni Halte where you need to switch to the Glodok direction bus. It is advisable to look at the route map displayed at the exit doorway.There were staffs inside the station stop who were very helpful in providing assistance.
At the Glodok Busway Halte,there was no overhead pedestrian bridge so one need to dash across to either side.
