Chicken porridge is usually served shredded chicken, cakwe, peanuts, and poured with soy sauce. It is a perfect choice for breakfast in Jakarta as it will not make you too full but can give you a little burst of energy to start your daily activities.
Next option of breakfast in Jakarta is called ketoprak. If you ever taste gado-gado, it might look similar, but they have a little difference. While gado-gado sauce and vegetables are boiled before processed to be served, in ketoprak, it is served raw.
The main ingredients are tofu, glass noodles, lontong, cucumber, bean sprout, boiled, and boiled egg. Poured with peanut sauce and sweet soy sauce. It also has a sweet and savory flavor, similar to gado-gado.
