Aroma Laut Grilled Local Seafood: Jakarta, Indonesia

Eating with hands, that's the only way!  Down homey hole-in-the-wall restaurant.  Great local seafood.  You pick, they bbq up for you.  Honestly I think I got food poisoning from the local seafood here since my system is not accustomed to the local shellfish, but the experience was was worth it.   =)

Before entering the eating area, you will walk past the "kitchen" - which is basically the open air bbq.  You pick the seafoods you want, they weight it, and then throw it onto the grill.  Fish is cooked on the banana leaves, else it will burnnnn....

When served at your table, there are self serve condiments, chilis and chips... eaten with the freshly hot bbq'd seafoods.  Yummmy... sweet and sour and tangy... and can we just say CHOLESTEROL OVERLOAD leading to gout! 

Very delicious and totally fun experience.  Locals got it good here.
