Jakarta/North

From Halal Explorer

Kota Tua banner.jpg

North Jakarta ( Indonesian: Jakarta Utara) is one of the municipalities of the Indonesian capital, along the Java Sea coast, and the location where Jakarta began to take shape. The colonial Dutch legacy still lives on at the Old Town (Kota Tua, at the border with West Jakarta) and the Sunda Kelapa harbour. When you are done with history, find amusement at Ancol, great food at Pluit or Kelapa Gading, and vibrant shopping destination at Mangga Dua. It is also the gateway to the Thousand Islands, and the location of Indonesia's busiest port, Tanjung Priok. Almost 2 million people, many of whom are of Chinese descent, call this part of the city home.

Travel to North Jakarta

By Rail

There are only three train stations in North Jakarta, at Tanjung Priok, Ancol, and Kampung Bandan. All three of these stations are on the commuter train network's (KA Commuter Jabodetabek) pink line, which connects to Kota station in West Jakarta. In addition, Kampung Bandan station is on the yellow line, with a direct connection to Depok and Bogor. For most long-distance trains, you will need to go to Gambir or Pasar Senen stations in Central Jakarta.

By ferry

The Tanjung Priok port GPS -6.09816,106.8762 is not only a container port, but also has a large passenger port terminal. All ferry ships to other areas across Indonesia dock there. Ferries operated by PELNI connect Tanjung Priok to all major ports, from Sumatra to Bali, and from Kalimantan to Papua. Obviously, taking a ferry is only an excellent option if you have a lot of time, as it takes several days to reach most other major islands.

What to see in North Jakarta

Jakarta_Indonesia_Sunda-kelapa-01

The Old City

Most attractions throughout this area of town are accessible from the Line Koridor 12 - stops of Pakin & Museum Fatahillah.

  • Galangan VOC - VOC Shipyard | Dating back to 1628, this is the former trade office and ship repair of the VOC (East Indies Trade Company) built by the Dutch. It is the center of the trade routes that stretched from Japan to Cape Town, from the Spice Islands to Persia. The place is now a restaurant, also called the VOC (Very Old Café), but still maintains what's left of history.
  • Jakarta Port Authority's Lookout Tower Established in 1834, it functioned as the watchtower for ships docking and departing Sunda Kelapa Harbor. No longer used and the building is in dilapidated condition.
  • Museum Bahari - Maritime Museum | A legacy of Indonesia's maritime past. Artifacts of boats from the Pinisi to the Navy, underwater life and the heroes of the Indonesian seas.
  • Sunda Kelapa Port - This is where Jakarta began as Fatahillah defeats the Portuguese in a battle to conquer his kingdom in 1527. The old port area of Sunda Kelapa remains today as a bustling hub for inter-island trade. Graceful Bugis phinisi schooners and the world's last wind-powered sailing fleet used for trade, are still berthed at the quay as they have been for century.

Nature reserves

  • Muara Angke Nature Reserve - Cagar Alam Angke Kapuk | This is the last nature reserve in Jakarta with mangrove plantations and wildlife still preserved. Look for the endemic birds, plants, monitor lizards and monkeys. Obtain a permit to enter at the Conservation of Natural Resources Office at Salemba, Central Jakarta. The reserve is very quiet, located around 500 meters from Pantai Indah Kapuk, Muara Karang Gate. Although there is no official parking area, you can park on the shoulder of the road in front of the park gate. No permit is required, because there aren't any guards.
  • Taman Wisata Alam Angke Kapuk Similar to Muara Angke but does not require a permit. Larger, even has a place to stay and playing boats. No DSLR cameras allowed. It is an artificial park, not a nature preserve, and patrons can plant mangrove trees there, if they obtain a ticket.

  • Emporium Pluit Mall - locally abbreviated EP or Empo - The first mall you'll typically see as you enter Pluit. A small but tall mall, with premium upper-middle-class fashion. Food options are abundant, both premium and budget and the food court has good quality food on par with chain brands.
  • Pluit Junction - locally abbreviated PJ | A sleepy and lonely mall across the Emporium Pluit with basic shops. Good only for a fitness center, movies (the cheapest in the area) and watching a live football match at its center stage.
  • Pluit Village - locally abbreviated PV - The first mall built in Pluit, now sleepy with middle class shops. The best place around to get a haircut, and eat at the food court with authentic Indonesian and Chinese cuisine — no chain brands. Matahari department store and Carrefour also fill up the mall.
  • PIK Avenue - Opulent and futuristic style mall with chic fashion tenants, flagship tech shops, and a dedicated Japanese food court alongside other mid-range to splurge options.

Kelapa Gading

Kelapa Gading is a more well developed upscale center of North Jakarta, having been built since the 1970s. It's like a town of its own with malls that have basically everything!

  • Mal Artha Gading - sometimes abbreviated MAG - Huge middle class mall with more than 300 shops and many food options. A batik center filled with accessories of such motifs can be found at the 5th floor.
  • Mal Kelapa Gading & La Piazza - sometimes abbreviated MKG - A series of 4 malls on one single street! A place for all budgets.

Mangga Dua

Mangga Dua area is evenly split between the North and Jakarta/Central|Central areas so check out the respective neighborhood for sleeping and more shopping options.

  • ITC Mangga Dua This is the cheapest place in Jakarta when it comes to clothing, but haggling is still the norm. Thousands of independent clothing lines in line with counterfeit brands. Very crowded on the weekends, watch out for pickpockets.
  • Mangga Dua Plaza A more upscale option at Mangga Dua, but modest compared to elsewhere in Jakarta. Has a modest outdoor food court catering to Chinese tastes and a club upstairs. Houses many hotels that provide an optimal connection to Ancol.

Markets

  • Ancol Art Market - Pasar Seni Ancol | Wondering where to buy art in Jakarta? This is where the local residents go, especially for Indonesian traditional arts. It's a collector's paradise!

Halal Restaurants in North Jakarta

A particular feature of Jakarta's North area is the dedicated neighborhoods for culinary delights. Ethnic Asian specialties can be found at Pantai Indah Kapuk for a wide range of prices while Chinese and seafood restaurants are abundant atMuara Karang on the west side. Kelapa Gading on the east side have uniquely themed dining that fits for all budgets. There are definitely too some Halal restaurants to be listed here, you'll be spoiled with choices! Most of these areas consist of East Asian restaurants (or Chinese Indonesian) though, so if you are looking for something else and the shopping malls usually have it.

  • Kwetiau Akang Parking may be tough because the restaurant does not provide its own, but it is worth the time! Famous in the area (and all over Jakarta) for its Rice vermicelli (kwetiau), a choice of fried (dry) or siram (wet with gravy). Toppings are usually shrimp, beef (or Beef), scrambled eggs, and shallots.
  • Le Bridge - In the middle of the water and the establishment is connected by a man-made causeway that entices couples to hang out waiting for the sun to set. Its menu consists of western cuisine as well as finger bites. One of the cheapest non-chain brand options at Ancol.
  • Zenbu House of Mozaru - This restaurant takes your typical Japanese cuisine to the next level. As its name suggests, its specialty is the mozaru, Rice on the bottom layer, followed by Meat and Sauces, finally topped with mozzarella Cheese — you can choose different options for the first three! There are other things too, especially salmon, Pasta and abundant Vegetarian options.

Upper scale restaurants can usually be found at Ancol.

  • Bandar Djakarta - This is the one of the favorite seafood options in Jakarta. It hosts what resembles a seafood market where you can pick your own fish and have them cook it, or you can order just by sitting at your table and let them do all the work, but the seating area is actually what draws everyone: its panorama of the coastline and the sea breeze, notoriously hot by the afternoon, cool at night. Perfect for group dining as you will be overwhelmed by the size of your meal!
  • Segarra - A perfect place for a couple and a candlelit dinner under the open sky. Luxurious hotel-like dining experience with (Indonesian), Japanese, Italian, and Western options. The sofa chairs on the beach facing the sea or near the swimmingpool are the best seats in the house, yet very often reserved in advance. A minimum order must be placed if you wish to sit there though.

Desserts

Ice cream:

  • Ollino Ice cream parlor. Great Tutti Frutti.

Pastries:

  • Manon Chocolatier & Patissier - A French pastry and Chocolates shop. Known for signature macaroons, delicious cakes, and Chocolates.

The North is where middle or high school kids tend to hang out, thus bars may not be obvious apart from signs that explicitly indicate so. The Pantai Indah Kapuk has its fair share of pubs, cafés, bobba teas, and ice cold desserts. Be sure to come early in the meal time on the weekend as this area is instantly a huge blast!

Coffeehouses

Like in any other parts of Jakarta, North Jakarta has tons of options for coffee-drinkers. The market of co-working spaces is also emerging so surely you won't have a hard time to find one.

  • Hardware Lane Coffee and Brunch - Serves various all-day brunch menu ranging from egg's benedict to Rice bows with local's touch.
