Nasi Uduk Kebon Kacang Zainal Fanani (Traditional Betawi Fragrant Rice)

Established in 1967 in the Tanah Abang district, Nasi Uduk Kebon Kacang Zainal Fanani stands as one of the most iconic trendsetters for Betawi fragrant rice in Jakarta. Its primary hallmark lies in its unique presentation, wrapped in small, individual banana leaf cones that seal in the rich aroma and fluffy texture of the rice. The rice is meticulously simmered with fresh coconut milk, bay leaves, lemongrass, ginger, and cloves. Each portion pairs beautifully with classic side dishes like deep-fried free-range chicken, sweet-savory beef empal, fried tofu, and tempeh, all brought together by a signature Betawi watery peanut sambal.
