Bakso A Kiaw 99

Great comfort food. They have 3 types of noodles (a) thin rice noodle (b) thick rice noodle (c) egg noodles. We ordered a and c with meatballs and beef. Service is standard chinatown/ downtown. I would rate the whole experience as 4.5 / 5.0 stars.

Best soup in Jakarta without contest. If you come after 6 it will be crowded and need to wait to get a table. Legendary resto. Always longing to go here. One of the resto to visit if you

AWESOME beef broth to go with the kwetiau. Quick, delicious, don’t want to hang around too long, place’s not that good.

Delicious beef soups, strong garlic oil and fried shallots flavor.

The bakso is incredible in this place. This was my first time eating bakso and their food definitely set a pretty high bar. The shop was extremely busy and filled with locals when I visited. They don't really have a clear menu and you have to order on the spot by telling them what you want based on the pictures. There are also no clear prices shown (it turned out to be quite expensive). The meatballs are flavorful and the texture is amazing, every bite of it is delightful. The noodles have a mild taste and nice texture, it pairs well with the meatballs. The highlight for me was their sambal! A local taught me to mix the chili sauce, soy sauce and asam (a clear sauce) together for the best chili sauce to pair with the dish - and it was amazing! Definitely do experiment around with the sauces on the table, it can elevate the dish into a whole new level. There didn't show the price for any of their food, and as expected it's pretty expensive, though I still think their food do "kinda" live up to its price tag. I paid 80k for noodles and bakso, and 20k for an iced tea (which I later heard it should only cost 5k-10k).

Legendary Place to have meatball soup. Taste still like the first time. Crowd at night. Not a kid friendly place. Parking a bit tough to find. And steaming hot. Will come again ? YES FOR THE FOOD not for the PRICE
