JAKARTA EATS: Ismaya Catering Co.

June 20, 2011

On the same floor as Social House is this little place called Ismaya Catering Co.  Same owners as Social House and, in true Ismaya fashion, yummy food and good ambiance. It’s a great casual place to grab some imported beers. At some point they even had buy one take one on my favorite beer, Erdinger Weissbier (wheat beer)! What a steal (in Jakarta) for 2 bottles for Rp 90,000 or 9 USD. (In the philippines you can get said beer for 2 USD in the supermarket). Now it’s back to Rp 90,000 a bottle. =( Alas all good things must come to an end!

They have a good selection of beers though that you can’t usually find in other bars. The variety of beers here is understandably limited.

We love the simple food here too! It’s a cheaper Social House! Same quality but the ambiance is not as full-on posh. We go here when we want good food at more reasonable prices.

What I would come back for (aside from the beers) are the pork sausages and the mushroom soup! I love bread bowls! Don’t you?

The decor, though simple is quirky and funny as always. TD loves this poster that says

“HMMMMMMMM This coffee is so good! Drink coffee! Do stupid things faster with more energy!”

I just had to laugh at that one! LOL!

  • I guess this is an extension of the actual Ismaya Catering Company (possibly be a pop-up?)
  • Ismaya Catering on Facebook

I also took pictures of the simple menu board for your reference:

    DiploWife! I loved this post!!! I would have to check out Ismaya after we get home. I love that you can get the same quality of food as Social House, but with better prices there! That’s wonderful!!! By the way, I’m looking at the ad below your article and it says “San Antonio Almost Free Urban Delight”. I’m in San Antonio right now!! What a cool and unique decor!! That is so Indonesia to me. Stylish and modern with a unique twist. I love it! Your blog post made me miss Jakarta!
