Love Street Bites

At the South of Jakarta, there was another traditional marketplace that had been operating since 1950’s. Located at Jalan Tebah, Kelurahan Gunung, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan, Mayestik Marketplace is usually well-known for their fabrics, but the place was abundant with traditional street food at every step of the way. 

A few years ago, the Ministry of DKI Jakarta Province had remodeled the traditional street market’s appearance to be cleaner and approachable towards society as an act of improvement towards their used to be dirty, slovenly and messy street. This act had raised the standards of the marketplace to be on par with the modern malls.

However, the traditional street food on its streets does not diminished easily. As the matter of a fact, several street food carts that still remained on the street became their own attraction and turned out to be an easy accessible snacks for the hungry visitors.
