As a resident of the Capital City, you may already be familiar with Ketoprak. If you look at it, it looks a bit like a hodgepodge. Even though they both use peanut sauce, the contents of these two foods are different. If a plate of hodgepodge contains various kinds of fresh vegetables, it's different from the Ketoprak which contains tofu, vermicelli, cucumber, bean sprouts, and eggs.
In Jakarta, you can easily find Ketoprak traders. But the most delicious is in these four places.
1. Ketoprak Ciragil
Not without reason, Alinear Indonesia places Ketoprak Ciragil in the first position. This Ketoprak is not only known as the most delicious but also the most legendary in Jakarta because it has been around since the 1960s.
Uniquely, Ketoprak Ciragil doesn't use Ketupat, but homemade Lontong. The soft and flavorful Lontong is one of the factors that make this Ketoprak so delicious. Another factor comes from the peanut sauce which is soft on the tongue and tastes sweet and savory.

For additional eggs, you can choose to have scrambled eggs, sunny-side-up eggs, or boiled eggs.
2. Ketoprak Cobek Pak Yono
Smooth peanut sauce with a savory and slightly sweet taste is the mainstay of Pak Yono's Ketoprak concoction. No wonder, because this Ketoprak stall mixes tuban nuts with little cashew nuts. As a result, Pak Yono's Cobek Ketoprak has a special taste.
Ketoprak is even more delicious with additional toppings of scrambled eggs, sunny-side-up eggs, boiled eggs, or salted eggs. You only need to spend IDR 17,000. You can already eat Pak Yono's Ketoprak Cobek.

4. Ketoprak Purwa Bharata
It is so named because this Ketoprak is located next to the Wayang performance venue, the Bharata Purwa Building.
Uniquely, Ketoprak Purwa Bharata adds skin satay and ati ampela satay which you won't find in other Ketoprak shops. As for the Ketoprak itself, the delicious taste comes from the peanut sauce made using tuban nuts. These nuts are famous for their slightly sweet taste.
