I have to admit, I was getting a little discouraged with the food I was finding here. The other day I went to what was alleged to be a great sate house, but they gave a mixed bag when it came to tusuks of sate. Some had chicken on the sticks, and some sticks had only chicken skin. Bleh, even with peanut sauce.
But today I wandered into a restaurant and ordered sate and it was good, in good peanut sauce. Some of the best sate I've enjoyed. And then I went to the mall today to present something and afterwards was hungry since I hadn't eaten before. So I malingered around the mall and found a mall-fied version of Jakarta street food. I got some ketoprak:

I took a few pictures of places today.
