Pasar Gandaria at Jalan Kebon Kacang 1 in Tanah Abang sub-district is just a stone throw away from the guesthouse where I stayed.The market is about 2km from Jalan Jaksa.
This old market with some of the older houses in the community is enclave within the Golden Triangle of Jakarta Central.
Every morning I had by breakfast here at a small corner stall owned by a local ethnic chinese.
Porridge stall.The wording on top of the pushcart in yellow is 'Cakue,Medan'.Looks like the owner is also a local ethnic chinese from Medan.
'Cakue' is that long brownish flour made snack that has been fried.
Hokkien people ( ethnic chinese whose ancestors origin from Fujian Province in Southern China) called this snack 'Yu Jia Kuey' while in Mandarin pinyin is 'Yu Tioa'.Cantonese is 'yow char kwai'.
In Thailand and Laos,'pathongko'.Vietnamese call it 'dau chao quy'.Philippines called 'bicho-bicho' and Burma name it 'e kya kway'
The long brownish strips are normally cut into small pieces and mixed with the chicken porridge(Indon name:Bubur Ayam) served with shreded ginger.Add a pinch of pepper powder and it taste lovely.Cost:Rupiah 5,000 per bowl.
My good 'ibu' whose hometown is from Sulawesi Island operated this small little corner shop.She said that every morning at 3:00am she has to cook the dishes and make the 'sambal (chilli paste)'.
The wholesale fashion mall nearby starts very early at 5:00am and she closed for business at around mid afternoon.
The dishes were very tasty including the sambal chilli and cost me Rupiah 8,000.If you need fried chicken will be additional charge.It was very cheap with those big servings.
There won't be chairs nor tables at the five foot way so just carry on your hand and eat while standing.If you feel awkward,pack it back as most of her customers do.I was her first customer to ever stand and eat in front of her stall.
Office girl ordering her lunch pack.The only miserable place to sit is on this long bench and the table is being used for displaying some local snacks like pudding,curry puff and cakes.
Adjacent to Pasar Gondaria is Gereja Panteskosta of Indonesia.(Pentecost Church in Indonesia)
Chapter 3 verses 16 of Gospel of John (in Indonesian Language)
" Karena begitu besar kasih Allah akan dunia ini,sehingga Ia telah mengaruniakan AnakNya yang tunggal,supaya setiap orang yang percaya kepada-Nya tidak binasa,melainkan beroleh hidup yang kekal"
Gereja Panteskosta of Indonesia was formed in 1921 by Rev Conelius Groesbeek and Rev Richard Van Klaveren from Gereja Bethel Temple,Seattle,United States of America.
Chinese Temple directly across Pentecost Church.Door was closed,have to seek permission from the lady who run the shop before going in.
A pair of ancient chinese idols being worshipped .The idols name:Natapatou (left) and Changsueikorkor (right).
I happened to notice a wall calender given by one
Vihara Dharma Jaya Toasebio located at 48,Jalan Kemenangan 3,Jakarta Barat which says 'Satu satu nya sembahyang Chiong Thian Kauw Giong yang Benar' (A truly place of worship at Chiong Thian Kauw Temple).
A local resident house in one of the narrow alleys in Kebon Kacang.
A pair of colourful umbrella was place near the Javanese carvings main door.Umbrella like this was seen all over Bandar Lampung.
The umbrella is an ancient symbol to invite ancestral spirits to a right of passage."Rites of passage" or transitional rights are attended to the belief that there is a transitioning from one state of existence to another.
These transitions are always regarded as dying and being born again.
The persons submitting to these rights are accorded temporarily princely honors and are vulnerable as they change from one state of existence to another.
In fact the umbrellas and baskets are handicraft works of art from the Lampung and Bengkulu Province of South Sumatra. It's a cultural tradition.
