Soto Betawi H. Ma'ruf
Jakarta, Indonesia
The read// why locals go
Soto Betawi H. Ma'ruf traces back to a handcart in the 1940s, and still makes the coconut-milk beef soup that Jakarta claims as its own. Soto Betawi is the city's native dish — beef and offal in a rich, milky broth — and this kitchen has carried the same version through several generations without lightening it for modern tastes. It sits on Jalan K.H. Wahid Hasyim in central Jakarta, at around Rp 35,000 a bowl. Locals treat it as a morning meal as readily as a lunch. For anyone trying to understand Betawi cooking rather than Indonesian cooking in general, this is the reference version.
