Cafe du Chocolat, Tebet, Jakarta

27 May 2011

[EN] Tebet is an area in Jakarta with many places to hangout. Cafe du Chocolat is one such place. They also have small clothing stores with quality clothing in the area.

Tebet is also a residential area that is close to the centre of Jakarta, but in weekdays, even though it is near, it may take like 1 hour to drive to Sudirman-Thamrin (the centre of Jakarta). Late in the night, when it is not busy, it only takes like 5 to 10 minutes to reach the centre of the city.

I went to Tebet on a weekend a few days ago, and the morning was cloudy and humid, but I took a few shots anyway.

[ID] Tebet adalah suatu area di Jakarta dengan banyak tempat nongkrong. Cafe du Chocolat adalah salah satu tempat nongkrong. Di Tebet banyak juga toko baju yang kecil yang bermutu.

Tebet adalah area residensial yang dekat dengan pusat Jakarta, tetapi dihari kerja, meskipun dekat, menyetir ke Sudirman-Thamrin (pusat dari Jakarta) bisa memakan waktu 1 jam. Kalau dimalam hari, diwaktu sepi, perjalanan ke pusat kota memakan waktu hanya 5 sampai 10 menit.

Saya ke Tebet pada akhir pekan beberapa hari yang lalu, dan pagi itu hari mendung dan lembab tetapi saya sempatkan untuk mengambil beberapa foto.
