Enjoy The Traditional Cuisines

Traditional cuisines are a major part of Indonesian culture. So a large variety of Indonesian traditional cuisines are going to be available.You will pretty much find everything from kerak telur (savory pancake) and Surakarta's nasi liwet (rice cooked in coconut milk, chicken broth and spices) to Palembang's pempek (fishcake with vinegar and soy sauce) and Bali's nasi campur (mixed rice).

Participate in Traditional Games

Cultural festival is all about visitors getting the feel of traditions. Visitors will get to try and participate in the traditional cultural games that you will hardly find in the busy city life these days. These traditional games have a rich history that go back to a long time such as egrang (bamboo stilts), engklek (hopscotch), gangsing (spinning tops) and congklak (mancala), at the east yard of Gelora Bung Karno stadium's south parking lot.
