Kopi Luwak!
We picked you up again as we caught the free Jakarta Explorer bus back to the Sudirman district, and got off at the Plaza Indonesia stop.
We walked across the bustling Jalan Thamrin and into Plaza Indonesia. It was lunchtime and we followed a large crowd down to the lower ground floor. Here we found something that I had been looking forward to since arriving in Jakarta: Kopi Luwak!
"Kopi Luwak coffee comes from the Indonesian island of Java and Sumatra, an area well-known for its excellent coffee. Also native to the area is a small civet-like animal called a Paradoxurus. That’s the scientific name, the locals call them luwaks. These little mammals live in the trees and one of their favorite foods is the red, ripe coffee cherry.
They eat the cherries, bean and all. While the bean is in the little animal’s stomach, it undergoes chemical treatments and fermentations. The bean finishes its journey through the digestive system, and exits. The still-intact beans are collected from the forest floor, and are cleaned, then roasted and ground just like any other coffee. Because of strange method of collecting, there is not much Kopi Luwak produced in the world. The resulting coffee is said to be like no other. It is rich, heavy flavor with hints of caramel or chocolate. Other terms used to describe it as earthy, musty and exotic. The body is almost syrupy and it is very smooth."
We took our seats and perused their diminutive menu before settling on:
Rawon Daging Sapi
Sop Daging Warisan
Avocado Float
Classic Frozen Lemonade
After lunch we added a round of desserts that included:
Cheese Potato Wedges
Caramel Banana Choco Cheese
and of course, Authentic Kopi Luwak!
Our most enjoyable meal and excellent dessert together with the awesome coffee came to IDR495,400 (approximately MYR147/USD31/EUR29).

Hello everyone! We are Cat and Harold from Kuala Lumpur. Welcome to our vlog, created in honour of our devotion to the everyday food for the everyday person, as well as to catalogue our memories, life's events, and travels.
Why "Have Perut Will Travel"? It’s a play on words from an old western tv show called "Have Gun - Will Travel", but instead of a weapon we let our tummies (or perut) lead the way ❣️
We've only started vlogging in April 2021, so to find out what we've been up to before that do head on over to www.harrycath.com/!
