Pagi Sore Rawamangun, Indonesian restaurant in Pulo Gadung, Jakarta.
Pagi Sore Rawamangun is an Indonesian restaurant in the Pulo Gadung district of Jakarta, specializing in Padang cuisine from West Sumatra. The menu covers rice-based dishes alongside meat preparations with chicken, duck, and fish cooked according to different regional recipes.
The restaurant opened in 1973 and has been part of Jakarta's food scene ever since. Over the decades it has kept its original cooking style, which has earned it a loyal reputation among regular customers.
The cooking follows Minangkabau traditions from West Sumatra, a region known for bold spice combinations and slow-cooked meats. Each dish on the table reflects these methods, from the way the chicken is seasoned to how the sauces are built around coconut milk and chili.
The restaurant is in Pulo Gadung and is open during the day, with the widest selection of dishes available around midday. Those arriving during peak meal times should expect some wait, as it tends to draw a steady crowd.
In Padang-style restaurants, food is traditionally brought to the table without ordering, and guests pay only for what they actually eat. This way of serving, known in Indonesian as 'hidang', makes the experience of eating here quite different from ordering off a menu.
