The lure of Jakarta's bright lights has attracted Indonesian migrants from all over this huge country. As a result, the capital’s menu is stupendously varied. Staples such as noodles and nasi goreng (mixed fried rice) are on the menu everywhere, but there’s much more to try. Meat dishes are predominantly composed of chicken or beef, as Indonesia is mostly Muslim and pork is a rarity. Fine dining destinations can be found at most of the hotels that dot the city in great numbers, but what truly shows Jakarta's culinary traditions is its vast assortment of street food, a delicious yet, wallet-friendly option.
