Jl. Jaksa
Jakarta Pusat
Jalan Jaksa sure has plenty of allure — this is one of them. Bang Rahmat’s soto Betawi is fresh, plentiful and boasts good quality meat. There’s beef soup, leg of goat soup, soto with tripe, lung, tongue, just about anything you desire, with the price of a bowl contingent on what you want inside it, but is hardly more than Rp 20,000. The sate kambing (mutton satay) and nasi goreng (fried rice, Rp 12,000) are just as popular. His popularity should buy Bang Rahmat more leg space.
Price range: Around Rp 25,000 for 2
