IndonesiaJakarta, TRANSMART
- Food Travel Log
- Jakarta's shopping malls are abundant but highly competitive. In a less bustling mall, I tried "Bakpao," a Chinese bun. The moist bun with juicy, mildly sweet egg filling was satisfying. Maintaining quality despite fewer customers showed the restaurant's dedication.

- Bakpao, commonly known as Chinese buns in Indonesia, includes the exquisite Bakpao Telur Asin, a steamed bun made with salted egg. This dish is inspired by the food culture of southern China and has uniquely evolved under the influence of Indonesia’s multicultural society. The preparation of Bakpao involves using fermented dough, with salted egg as the filling, characterized by its creamy and slightly salty essence. This allows for a rich flavor that stands apart from the usual sweet fillings. The delectable aroma of Bakpao wafting through bustling shopping malls is a secret weapon that often stops passersby in their tracks. Captivated by this uniquely distinctive snack is the author of this blog, who, much like a character in a slice-of-life anime inadvertently drawn into the story's unfolding events, tends to get bored with shopping!
