The most famous dangdut bar in Jakarta and probably the best. Interesting if you want to experience something different in Jakarta. A bit dodgy and not so dangerous, just a few hundred meters from Plaza Indonesia. The clients are mostly middle aged male indonesians, but there are many girls too, though not so sexy, working as prostitutes. It is quite friendly, but people look at you a bit strangely since not many foreigners come here. We had very nice parties here but be sure to be drunk first and to dance!"The first time you hate it because you don’t understand it. The 3rd, the place is yours and you are the queen of the dancefloor, requesting ‘kucing garong’." SZ
For those who don't know dangdut, I found some on youtube: One of the most famous is Kucing Garong, with its unbelievable stupid video clip.. please enjoy it here. Readers with an ear for music will notice the Red Hot Chili Peppers's Otherside sample, at exactly 2:00.
Another great Dangdut song is SMS Bang, which all of you roisterers should be able to sing perfectly in order to enjoy the messiest nights out, especially in Kota and in dodgy karaokes around Lokasari.
At last, Jablai, though a bit older, is also one of the most popular songs heard in karaoke and dangdut bars in Jakarta and in Indonesia.
