Setu Babakan Betawi Cultural Village

This area is a lake, but it is where the indigenous Betawi set up an area for outsiders to know their culture. The weekend is especially the perfect time to visit as the food stalls are set up for you to savor Jakarta's local cuisine and the locals let you learn to perform their dance and play in the orchestra. Despite the lack of advertisement and publication, Setu Babakan has successfully encouraged locals to appreciate their native culture. Children learn Betawi traditional music and dances every Wednesday and Sunday from 07:00-12:00. After watching the children's activity, take a break to scrutinize uniquely the architecture of Betawi traditional house and stop for a breath beside the lake. The available local foods are bir pletok (healthy ginger drink, not an alcoholic beer), kerak telor (grilled egg with coconut shred and sticky rice with shrimp powder topping), otak-otak (grilled fish cake with hot peanut sauce), and roti buaya (crocodile shape bread, popular for Betawi traditional wedding ceremony).
