Bentara Budaya

Continuing my search for places to go on weekend without mall. Started from frequently asked questions by my expatriate colleagues on where to go. I am speechless sometimes as exploring Jakarta is not my thing.

I am even beaten by my Singaporean boss, who is a busway expert traveller. On a meeting around Sudirman he urged me to send the driver's back as he wanted us to go back to the office by busway....and I...."Really? are you sure? high heels?" with my frowning face!

So...one Sunday, Bentara Budaya Palmerah,  Jakarta.  

They have Gebyok, the Javanese traditional house in front and the exhibition room right after.  There was a Chinese exhibition when we got there.  Its quite fulfilling, free yet cheap...
We ended up having lunch at Blok S for the hawker foods afterward.  I again realized that this was the first time for the kiddos to know about the place as well as first timer tasting Es Podeng!Hmm....an addition to my wall of shame of exploring Jakarta!
