Sun City

Many dim sum connoisseurs in Jakarta consider Sun City to be the capital’s number one dim sum destination and you’ll often find the grand and spacious restaurant totally packed on weekends (try to get in before the after-church rush on Sunday at around noon or you might have to wait over an hour to get a table). Sun City gets all the standards like siomay and har gau spot on, but some of the other must-order highlights of their non-halal menu are the excellent honey BBQ pork and cheese puffs (puff panggang isi babi panggang madu dgn keju) and the fried taro dumplings (pangsit talas goreng). Sun City’s main dining room is already impressive, but the large side room with an enormous LED screen on the ceiling (often showing clouds lazily floating by) is totally a trip.
