Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even supper, Bubur Ayam or Chicken Porridge is a staple that you can find from street to fancy restaurant in Jakarta. This time AnakJajan are going to share with you 6 recommended places for delicious Bubur Ayam, Bubur Ayam Alfa, Bubur Khas Mayong Samping BCA Kelapa Gading, Bubur Ayam Angke THI, Bubur Mangga Besar 1, and Bubur Sheila.

Bubur Ayam is the kind of food that we crave the most and finding a good and authentic one can be quite challenging sometimes, the opening hours can be quite tricky too, some are open early in the morning, some start open in the afternoon. I remember one day, it was raining on Sunday night, me and Mr. Jajan were craving for simple heartwarming bowl of chicken porridge, we drove from North to West Jakarta just to find a good one that is open, lolss!

Since AnakJajan received lots of question about this topic, we decided to blog about it, sooo, here are 6 of recommended place for Bubur Ayam in Jakarta that AnakJajan’ve tried. Enjoy!

1. Bubur Ayam Samping BCA Khas Mayong
One of the most popular place for Bubur Ayam, the savory chicken porridge with generous toppings of crackers, shredded chicken, fried shallot has so many loyal customers and it sells out really fast for approximately in 2 hours, so you better come early.

The stall used to be located near BCA but they have moved to another location still in Kelapa Gading area, in front of Indomaret, right across Al Azhar School. Based on our experience, as told by many Sahabat Jajan, Bubur Ayam Mayong is closed on Sunday, so don’t go there on Sunday to avoid any disappointment.

Bubur Ayam Samping BCA Khas Mayong
RT.1/RW.12, Pegangsaan Dua, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta City,

2. Bubur Ayam Alfa
Bubur Ayam Alfa is a great finding!! Recommended by our friends, AnakJajan decided to give it a try and it was seriously sooo good!!

The chicken porridge is available in normal version with chicken chunks, cakwe or dough fritter, and shallots but they also have the special version with soft boiled egg or chicken gizzard, or both with chicken gizzard and egg.

For the chicken, unlike other places that use shredded chicken, here in Bubur Alfa, they use chicken chunks that is already well seasoned and cooked in turmeric based seasoning. Then for the egg, they use free range egg for the kopitiam style soft boiled egg so it’s a better for consumption, the egg is a must have since it gives the porridge a great creamy rich flavor. Gotta love the deep fried soy bean, it’s sooo good compared to other places, savory and garlicky with great crunchy texture.

3. Bubur Ayam Mangga Besar 1
One of our all time favorites, Chinese style chicken porridge with Pek Cam Ke or Chinese Boiled Chicken and Chinese Grilled Chicken.

The porridge is available in plain version or with chicken, as for the side dish, both Pek Cam Ke and Grilled Chicken are must have (you can get half and half), the chicken is very tender moist yet savory making it perfect companion for porridge.

For extra pleasure, you can order additional items such as cakwe or dough fritter, braised tofu, salted egg, soy egg, etc.

4. Bubur Angke THI
Another famous one at Angke, Jelambar area that is always packed with customers, Bubur Angke THI.

The queuing system is kinda shocking, so basically you need to stand in front of the table (with customers eating), wait and then quickly sit when the other customer finish their meal, imagine getting stared while eating your porridge 😀

Pek Cam Ke or Chinese Boiled Chicken and porridge are the signature items here, you can request to get raw egg added into your pipping hot porridge.

AnakJajan must admit that the Pek Cam Ke here is really good, the chicken was super tender and juicy (more tender than Bubur Ayam Mangga Besar 1), then the porridge has more flavor and umami in it, but in terms of food variety, side dish, condiments, and comfort, we personally prefer Bubur Ayam Mangga Besar 1 better.

Address:

6. Bubur Ayam Sheila
Among many street vendors, Bubur Ayam Sheila still holds a special place in our hearts with their uber yummy and addictive classic chicken porridge with shredded chicken, crackers, fried soy beans, fried shallots, and cakwe or dough fritter.

The porridge is really well seasoned and savory, sooo good we’ve been loyal customers for years. There are two carts Bubur Sheila 1 and Bubur Sheila 2 in Tanjung Duren area, both serve the same menu run by two brothers. AnakJajan know that this one could be a bit hard to find since it’s a street cart, but it’s sooo good we have to recommend it no matter what.
