11 Places To Visit With Your Kids in Jakarta

Many times people asked me where they can take their kids in Jakarta, a city notorious for its malls and shopping centres. Without further ado, listed below are my recommendations.

1. Houbii Urban Adventure Park


This large indoor park is situated in Jakarta, near Pondok Indah Mall. There are many courses in the park that kids and adults love. Ninja Course, Dodge Ball Course, Airbag, and Rope Course just to name a few. Miss Kiki usually goes there with her friends or with DH. A guardian is allowed to enter the area for free  as long as he or she doesn't play.

2. Playground Kemang

The Playground is an outdoor play area in Kemang, South Jakarta. The place is laid back with huts, tables, and benches for the adults while waiting for the kids.

Address:

3-4. Waterbom Jakarta

Located in North Jakarta, Waterbom is a popular spot on weekends and holidays. This large waterpark has many different slides and pools to cater to small children and adults alike. If you prefer South Jakarta, the newer Pondok Indah Waterpark is also an option.

Address:




5-6. GBK Stadium

Currently under renovations for the Asian Games, the GBK Stadium used to be a nice place for  jogging or biking. Some people would also gather with their R/C cars and drones. You can monitor their renovation progress on the website and see when they will re-open. At the moment, Kalijodo is supposed to be an alternative for biking, walking, and skate boarding but I myself have never been there.

Address:

7. Scientia Square Park

This new-ish park is actually located a little bit outside Jakarta, but is still easily accessible. It's quite lush and organized, they have spots for different activities from running, biking, skating, to kite flying. They also frequently have events going on.

8. Bremgra Indoor Climbing

Wall climbing is not really my thing, but Miss Kiki and her friends had fun when we went to Bremgra Wall Climbing. They have a special area for children if they don't have any experience.

Address:

9. Galeri Keramik Kollekan

Work on your artsy side at Galeri Kollekan. It's a small ceramic studio in Cipete, South Jakarta. You can go there and work on your own things or if you want they can also teach you how to make things. Kids have fun working with their hands and they get to take their masterpiece home.

Address:


10-11. Bintaro Fish Centre and Talaga Sampireun

Okay Talaga Sampireun is actually a restaurant, but I think it's quite suitable to be on this list. There are 3 locations of Talaga Sampireun and we had gone to the one in Bintaro. The restaurant is set around a fish pond. Children can feed the fish while waiting for the food. There was also a play area for kids but I think you have to pay for everything. A visit here can be combined with a visit to Bintaro Fish Centre, where children can do fun activities like lobster catching and caring for a water porcupine.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
