The 10 Best Things to do in Menteng, Java

June 21, 2021 Deane Carmody

Chaotic, crowded, and cosmopolitan, Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is a city of contrasts. Home to millions of people from around the world, the city is a mixture of languages and cultures, poverty and wealth. The city boasts some of the best nightlife in Asia and some of the worst traffic. Every holiday, the locals escape the pollution and the crowds to enjoy relaxing diversions like Ancol Dreamland, an amusement area featuring water parks, beaches, golf courses, and a SeaWorld.

One of recommended place to visit while u are in jakarta. This is was old building. Located very near to the biggest shopping centre in Jakarta Tanah Abang so might busy for access. The building was nice and historical. It used to be the village belong the French people during colonial time. When we go inside the museum, we can see textile collections, not only batik but also tenun, songket, and more. For those people who wants to learn making batik, this is the right place. We can see and learn how to making batik. With simple patterns. Not a big size of batik but it's really cool and awesome to learn by ur self and bring it home. And it's not too expensive also. In pendopo, we can learn how making that. And the local guide would also accompany and explain us alot also about batik and the processing, and give every best suggestion for creating wonderful batik with our own style. If u have ur own idea with ur own pattern for making batik, just do that. The place also was calm and cold since alot of big trees here. Not so noisy. We can also sit and relax under the tree and enjoy our drink. If u wanna buy souvenir also, this museum has options for souvenirs. Easy for public transportation. And also good place to visit for learning Batik as one of world heritage from Indonesia.

Flea Market at Jalan Surabaya

The Jalan Surabaya market is the place to find antiques, rare finds, and other oddities.

But I found more than what I expect. You can find all sorts of late 19th and early 20th century items, from framed mirror, gramophone, LP, laser discs, ceramics plates, old coins and stamps, furnitures, even luggages. But visitor that plan to buy things, better be equipped with the skill to haggle and bargain. It certainly fun for me.

KoKuo Reflexology

Reviewed By livy_jp - Jakarta, Indonesia

Every time we’re in need of good massage for body stiffness, Kokuo will be where we go to. We tried Jl. Timor, Jl. Sambas and Lotte Avenue - and we had couple of experiences of premium package at the latter venue. The session was done in a private lounge with big movie screening and complimentary drink (the best cappuccino ever!). We have one senior masseur as a reference of asking which masseur to be recommended when himself is not available/ off duty. So far, his reco has never failed our expectations. My personal suggestion ; ask for senior masseur - who most likely knows the interpretation of good massage.
