What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ronde Jahe Alkateri is celebrated for its exceptionally chewy ronde with abundant peanut fillings, served in a comforting ginger soup that can be customized with brown or white sugar. While praised for quality and taste, some note it can be a bit pricey for street food and the seating is limited, leading to potential queues. The ginger flavor is generally well-loved but may be intense for some.
"Traditional dessert soup.
Food.
It’s a traditional food, ball shaped with peanuts fillings. The ball’s skin made of glutinous, and it was perfect. Not too thick, not too thin.
You can choose the big ball with peanuts, or small one without any fillings. The soup have options with brown sugar, or white sugar.
Service.
Standard, but quite good in managing the waiting time and sitting area.
Place.
Fast customer turnover, crowded. Can’t expect cleanliness as it is a street food.
Price.
A bit high, but i would say worth the food quality."

"The best ronde in Indonesia that you should definitely try when you go to @Bandung!
Their ronde is just so perfect, nice and chewy. The service is great and fast. They served my order pretty quick, but the place has limited seat, so you might need to grab a spot first.
Many people say that the price is quite expensive, however with the ronde quality, i think that it’s worth the money.
I like the “gula putih” better than the “gula merah”."

"As this is a famous food stall in Cibadak night culinary, you have to expect longer time & queue for both dine-in or takeaway, up to 15-20 min on busy long weekend with Jakarta tourusts flocking to try this out. The ronde is very good - soft enough and not too soft. Go for large ones with peanut fillings. The sweet ginger soup/gravy is also perfect. I prefer dark sugar mix than white sugar, as it gives more fragrance to the soup. Even though a bit pricey but worth the price."
