Singer Raisa Reveals 10 'Unforgettable' Jakarta Foods: From Street Eats to Premium Dining

Indonesian singer Raisa has shared a list of her 10 favorite foods in and around Jakarta, following a viral social media trend. Her culinary preferences span a wide spectrum, from humble street food stalls to premium fine dining establishments. Among her top picks is the fried fish and chicken at Rumah Makan Punak Raya in Cinere, known for its affordable prices. Raisa particularly enjoys the savory 'serundeng' spice topping, though she notes its tendency to stain hands and yellow nails. For a taste of traditional Indonesian soup, she favors Kedai Soto Barito in South Jakarta, specifically their soto with beef cheek and tongue. She praises the chewy texture of the meat and the rich broth. Raisa's daily caffeine fix comes from Kurasu, a Japanese-style coffee shop in Senopati, South Jakarta. Her go-to order is a double dirty latte, which she finds perfectly balances a strong coffee flavor with a smooth finish. At the upscale Sana Sini Restaurant in Plaza Senayan, Raisa appreciates the flexibility of the menu, recommending a combination of half original broth and half sukiyaki, along with thinly sliced Japanese beef. The restaurant Ayam Betutu in Wijaya, South Jakarta, is described as her comfort food, often ordered via delivery when she prefers to stay home. The Ayam Sekandang package is a consistent favorite. Altitude Grill, a high-end restaurant in Senopati, receives a perfect "10/10" rating from Raisa. She highly recommends it for special occasions like anniversaries and romantic dinners. At View Restaurant in the Fairmont Hotel, Raisa highlights the authentic sushi, particularly the salmon nigiri, and the Grilled Gindara, which she describes as a melt-in-your-mouth dish served with buttery rice. For sweets, she favors the "Flower Child" cookies from a popular dessert shop, noting that even though it's a vegan option, it's incredibly delicious, especially when warm and the chocolate is gooey. Bakso Rusuk Samudera in Pasar Minggu is hailed as one of the best meatball joints in the capital, with Raisa commending the incredibly fragrant broth that fills the house with its aroma. Finally, Martabak Markisa in Cinere is her "Cinere Pride," with the cheese variant being her most loved. Information Source: Detik
