Tucked away in Glodok chinatown is Lit Bakehouse, a bakery. I often take my cousin and foreigners friends to come and visit Glodok. Love to see they gawp as they see people selling and sea cucumbers.. probably for the first time in their life. Kidding. Glodok is house some of the most historical buildings in Jakarta. The Toasebio temple.. or the Santa Maria de Fatima, the catholic church looks more like a temple than a cathedral. Then we usually ends the tour with Lit Bakehouse.. almost like a plot twist. I love most of their cakes, but my favourites are the croissants and pastries. They sell great coffe and hot choclate too. Today I am trying Brieliant, croissant with brie, apricot jam and walnuts. The ice Kietna is very refreshing citrusy drink. Staffs and server are super friendly and although they have very limited space, Lit is cozy and fun. You can eve see them making the croissant through the glass window. Car access is rather inconvenient though.. best if you come by foot or bike. It’s a true and ‘verry hidden” hidden gem indeed.
