Indonesian Culinary Haven - Jajan Bareng di Festival Jajajan Bango 2019

Kelezatan Asli Lintas Generasi

Siapa yang suka jajan di sini?
I do!

Indonesia has been well-known for its amazing culinary.
Traditional food as well as beverages in Indonesia vary and can be pretty much found in every corner of this country.  Encompassing more than 17 thousands islands (yup, you read it correctly, more than 17.000 islands), different cultural background, geographical situation and specific vegetation as well as natural resources from that particular area.

It can be a bit overwhelming as the choices are more than abundant!

In Lampung, my home, for example.
We have Pindang Patin, Pempek or fish cake with sweet sour sauce or cuka, sambal seruit, tempoyak, keripik pisang, kue engkak, segubal, and so many more. Not to mention popular food like Bakso Sony, Pempek 123, siomay Edy, kripik pisang Suseno and Mie Lampung. I just realize I can't stop listing all those yummy food.

Well, considering this foodie culture of Indonesians, Kecap Bango or one of the leading manufactures of the sweet soy sauce, takes this opportunity to gather famous street food vendors from different corners of Indonesia in one big festival.

Festival Jajanan Bango 2019

The Festival was held in the parking lot of Squash Field, Bung Karno Sports Complex, Jakarta, from 15 - 17 March 2019.

In English, perhaps the best way of translating Jajajan is snacks, but usually we buy our jajanan in our favorite street food vendors or small corners in particular areas, traditional markets or malls. Most of the time, the places are way scattered here and there, even located in different provinces.

Then in this Festival, we have them all coming for us!
Yaaaay!
There are 83 vendors joining the event so you can imagine how delicious our trip here!

But some of them are not even in Jakarta!

Welcome to FJB 2019

We came on Sunday, the last day of the Festival and for sure it was already packed since the morning when they started at 11 AM.

We arrived at 12. 15 as we needed to look for a parking spot, which proved to be a big problem for us.

Nevertheless, after lining up and registering ourselves online for the free entry, we finally got inside. We went to special tent to see short stories about Kecap Bango and its contribution to the preservation of Indonesia's traditional culinary. For sure, Kecap Bango has been there for generations and my family loves it!.

After the tens, we finally arrived to the open area where the Festival was held and this is what we had!

FOOD COMA!

LOL.

As it was packed and everyone was pretty much craving for what they love, the line was super long! It was quite a disadvantage for us as it was hot, we were hungry, and we lined up for quite sometimes. But well, it was a special festival with some nostalgic food that I didn't want to miss so we did line up in many of those spots. I only managed to queue at 6 vendors and that took me around 1.5 hours only to line up and get my food ready. 

The main stage in the center.

I hope next Festival they will use better time management in order to avoid such long queues everywhere. Since I didn't get empty seats either, we took away most of the food and enjoyed them at home. Oh ya...Sariwangi , our famous Indonesian tea, was also the official tea of this Festival. And when you bought food at 5 or 10 booths, got the stamps for each booth and you could change that with free goodies as well!

Here are some of the photos I took during the festival.
Wanna know what food I managed to buy and try?
Here we go..

First I lined up at Mie Aceh Seulawah and bought a pack of delicious and spicy Mie Aceh.

Mie Aceh Seulawah

I like it because it comes with kerupuk and emping, as well as onion and pickles, which make it special.

It's sooo good and spicy! Love it!

 Then we lined up at Sate Padang Ajo Ramon.

The original Sate Padang Ajo Ramon

Very famous Padangnese Satay and it's super special because the sauce is specially made of beef broth, Indonesian traditional mixed spices, and rice flour.
I wrote the recipe of Sate Padang and tried making it in NYC as well! 
Check it out here Sate Padang - Padangnese Satay

More food we got here can be seen from these photos as well.

Like  Sate dan Tongseng Pak H. Budi Asli Solo!

Can you imagine the traditional Tongseng, or spicy beef stew, cooked traditionally using the charcoal? Even the smell is certainly different. More delicious!

And as they used special diner plates from Kecap Bango,  we saw many dishes here and there. The clean ones and the dirty ones as well.

This is before...

This is after...

All in all, I love the Festival and I guess I will be happy to come back next year.

There are many vendors which had long queues that I didn't manage to try.

Like this Sate Maranggi, for example. Although I have tried the original ones years ago, I feel like trying it again here.

Some risoles, bakso and ketimus for you to try!

We need to come earlier and obviously more prepared as well.

My kids were complaining because they were tired after our morning jogging before coming down here.

And for sure, I have more YouTube videos from this festival :).
Check this one out!

So, what do you think about the festival?
Do you like coming and joining a food festival like this?
Any particular Indonesian food that you enjoy?

Hello, everyone!

March is marching out as April is waiting around the corner.

March has been fun and busy for us, filled with culinary experiences, car free day, and more.

Festival Jajanan Bango 2019

I have been venturing in Festival Jajanan Bango 2019, a 2-day event held by Bango, one of Indonesian leading brands for sweet soy sauce, where many famous and popular Indonesian street food vendors and restaurants were gathered together in one place. 
We went here with my brother and my sister-in-law.

Sate Padang!

It was packed indeed!
And many of the food sold here are people's favorite!
No wonder we had long lines here and there.

Car Free Day 2019

Before that, we enjoyed Car Free Day in Sudirman - Senayan Area and had fun walking and jogging around this place. My kids came along and after walking around for about 1 hour, they complained as the weather got hotter and hotter.
