Food Street Kramat - Aneka Masakan Padang

Unclaimed

This place has been around for a very long time and has become the choice of local people and culinary enthusiasts to eat Padang food, especially the Nasi Kapau. Nasi kapau is a Minang steamed rice topped with various choices of dishes originated from Nagari Kapau, Bukittinggi, a tourism and culinary hotspot town in West Sumatra, Indonesia (Wikipedia). It is often described as the Minang version of nasi ramas or mixed rice. We can also find lemang is a typical West Sumatran snack of glutinous rice cooked in hollowed bamboo tube, after previously being rolled in a banana leaf. Today, the stalls are cleaner, tidier, better organized. Street singers and beggars still come and go. There is also no toilet available.

Looking for authentic West Sumateran food, then this is the right place. Although open year round, but during Ramadan it’s not to be missed. Always love to get Lamang Tapai here along with other sweet snacks. And also the abundance of Kapau food. Not sure which stall to choose? All taste great! So no need to worry ?

Happened to pass the street n stop by. Around 20 kiosks selling padang food n its traditional cakes. Most of the food are spicy, but the cakes are sweet n quite fresh, wrapped in young banana leaves, quite fragrant too. My favourite one is lamang tapai, a glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaves n bamboo, processed for four hours. The dipping sauce was black glutinous gravy, taste quite nice if combined. Price 40 k.

This is one of famous places to visit during your time in Jakarta. This street is famous for their Nasi Padang. There are many sellers that actually sell the same food. The taste is good but it will be better if they can serve the food while it is warm.

You can find lots of delicious padang/kapau food here, with standard price around 25-50k rupiah per person. Freshness of food in different stalls varies, so you'd better pick the right one before ordering. Parking on the street 5k rupiah, parking inside the office building area 10k rupiah
