Kwetiau Akang (Akang's Rice Noodles)

A couple of months ago, the Little Hungry Heart was in town. And yes, we finally had a chance to meet up :)   After a long nice day, lunch with a non-stop 5 hours of interesting and fun conversation at a Manadonese restaurant in the Central of Jakarta, then continued for another almost 3 hours conversation in a coffee shop; we decided to have our late dinner at Kwetiau Akang in the North of Jakarta. A quite famous place for fried rice noodles and has 4 branches around Jakarta.

Badak - Rp. 8.000
An old school sarsparilla root beer soft-drink.
It tasted sweeter than A&W root beer and less soda.

Kuo Tie (5 pcs.) - Rp. 20.000
Delicious fried dumplings. 

Kwetiau Goreng Kepiting - Rp. 29.500
Fried Crab Rice Noodles.
The portion was hearty. Unlike most common fried kwetiau, this kwetiau was not too oily.

Currency rate: 1 USD = Rp. 9.100

    How nice it is to meet fellow foodie from another country. It appears that those 8 hours of convo is still not enough. =D

    Kwetiaw Akang! Yes, I've been here too, but it was take away, so couldn't write the review. Glad you feature this famous street food =)

    ruby: Sometimes it can be unbelievable how time flies so fast when you are having a great conversation with someone for hours without realizing it :)

    ellyna: Ah.. don't worry.. you actually still can write a review of it although it's just a take away ;)

    Heehe, reviewing takeaway is challenging for me mostly because I'm not experienced in taking photos of packaged food, but hey nothing tried, nothing gained, right? =)
