Visit J-Town Cafe
The bakmie is what brings people to J-Town Cafe. The noodles are handmade and the chilli is real: Bakmie Ayam Balado comes piled with Minang balado sauce of garlic, chilli and kaffir lime, hot enough to make you reach for the soup that comes alongside. Prefer fragrance over fire? The Bakmie Ayam Cabe Ijo leans on lemongrass and green chilli for a gentler tingle.
What makes J-Town Cafe special
It is 100 percent halal Indonesian street food, run by the team behind the Orchard outlet. The menu stretches to Nasi Ayam Crispy with a breaded cutlet and sweet kecap manis, crisp Pangsit Goreng dumplings, and Martabak Manis, the thick folded pancake that comes loaded with chocolate, peanut, butter and sugar, or cheese. It suits anyone after a proper plate of Jakarta-style cooking near Beach Road.
What you will find at J-Town Cafe
Regulars rate the food as the real thing, consistent with the original shop. Seating is limited, so the lunch queue is part of the experience. Walk in, and save room to share a martabak.
