Jayakarta chef-owner Irianti Jin has opened a gem of a restaurant in Berkeley.
INDONESIAN - SINGAPOREAN CUISINE
Concentrated and meaty is how you’d describe Betawi cooking, Jakarta’s original food. Owner and chef Irianti Jin grew up in Indonesia’s capital, and her beautifully layered Betawi dishes eat like love letters home. Candlenut sauce on Jin’s lamb sate skewers is as rich as a pat of butter melting onto a steak, while tripe-studded soto babat, a galangal-flavored soup, practically glows. The dining room is bare, bland, and pink, but it only makes Jin’s food shine all the brighter

Indonesian food may well be the most interesting in Southeast Asia. It’s a cuisine that’s rich with influences---a little Indian, a bit of Chinese, some Malaysian---and these elements are skillfully blended to create an altogether new type of food. Jayakarta skillfully re-creates this exciting food. Start with the roti, a Singaporean pancake served with curry sauce, and the krupuk, Indonesian shrimp crackers that are served with a first-rate peanut sauce. The gado-gado, a warm salad of fresh vegetables topped with fried tofu and hard-cooked eggs, is a signature dish. Any of the rice plates are worth having, but be certain to order beef rendang, cubes of beef cooked long and slow in coconut milk until the sauce is thick and the meat is fork-tender. The satays are decent but not as exciting as the other choices on the menu, and fish cakes here are bland and rubbery. No matter---there are plenty of good options, and the warm staff will be more than happy to guide you through the menu.
