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 crossed the bustling Jalan Thamrin and entered Plaza Indonesia. It was lunchtime, and we followed the crowd down to the lower ground floor — where we finally found something I had been looking forward to since arriving in Jakarta: Kopi Luwak.
Before ordering, we took a moment to appreciate the story behind this legendary coffee:
Kopi Luwak originates from Java and Sumatra, where the luwak — a small civet like animal — eats ripe coffee cherries. The beans pass through its digestive system, undergoing natural fermentation before being collected, cleaned, roasted, and ground.
Because of this unusual process and the limited quantity produced, Kopi Luwak is rare. The resulting coffee is often described as rich, smooth, earthy, and slightly chocolatey.
Lunch & Legendary Coffee
We took our seats and browsed their small menu before settling on:
- Rawon Daging Sapi
- Sop Daging Warisan
- Avocado Float
- Classic Frozen Lemonade
After lunch, we added a round of desserts:
- Cheese Potato Wedges
- Caramel Banana Choco Cheese
- And of course… Authentic Kopi Luwak
Our most enjoyable meal — complete with excellent desserts and that unforgettable cup of coffee — came to IDR495,400 (≈ MYR147/USD31/EUR29).
