Bakmi GM - Pondok Indah Mall, Jakarta

I've always wanted to do a post on Bakmi GM. I love this place. Why? It's delicious, fast, healthy (I guess), cheap, and available all over Jakarta. What I love about this place is how they manage to maintain good quality for years and years - it still tastes exactly the same as when I had my first Bakmi GM in Jakarta's Chinatown area 19 years ago. It's just nice to know that there's such a reliable restaurant chain in this topsy-turvy city. And oh, they do phone and internet deliveries, too. Yumm!!



My favorite - Bakmi Ayam Special GM
(GM's special chicken noodle)



Ayam Goreng GM
(GM's Fried Chicken - the dipping sauce is reminiscent of 'Rojak' sauce)



Nasi Cap Cay
(Vegetables & Chicken over rice. Tastes just as good as those nasi cap cay in Jakarta's Chinatown)



Pangsit Goreng
(The legendary GM's Fried Wontons with sweet & sour dipping sauce. There's nothing like it on the face of the earth. Even my mom, one of the harshest, cruellest food critic I know, labelled it "unrivalled").



Fruit Punch.
-> What's so special about this fruit punch is...it's just one of those successful fusion between Western and Indonesian style drink. While Westerners might prefer some level of sourness on their fruit punch, this Indonesian-ized version is nothing but sweet with a strong pineapple undertone. I personally love it.
