@Indos I am in love with Jakarta now.
My travel destination was always KL. I'm going to change it for Jakarta.
Where do you currently live bro ? Maybe I can give you some advice if you want to visit Jakarta.
You can stay at Hotels in Business District, Central Jakarta, or maybe prefer affordable hotel in South Jakarta like Swiss Belhotel Pondok Indah. There is Pondok Indah Plaza near it that you can reach by walking and can get many affordable food like KFC, McDonalds, or local food like Padang Restauran (Sederhana Restauran) there.

There is Pondok Indah Mall which is one of the best Mall in South Jakarta that you can get through Transjakarta bus stop that is just in front of the hotel. There is Hero supermarket inside Pondok Indah Mall as well. And the hotel is also close to Carrefour Supermarket that can be reached by walking. Jakarta MRT stop is also close and can be reached by walking as well. You can go to Sudirman business district by MRT.
Pondok Indah is an elite housing complex in South Jakarta and very comfortable environment to do walking or jogging with your wife or kids every morning.
There are many delicious street foods as well at night in Radio Dalam which is not far from Pondok Indah.

There are 3 mosques in Pondok Indah and the most popular one is Pondok Indah Mosque (Masjid Pondok Indah) with uses Indonesia architecture. From Swiss Belhotel you can use Transjakarta bus to reach the mosque.

There are food vendors as well selling Indonesian foods inside the mosque complex.
Other mosque is behind Pondok Indah Mall 2 and the third one is near Bakti Mulya School.
Bakti Mulya School (kindergarten and elementary school) - Junior and Senior High School is outside Pondok Indah but still very near the housing complex. The school is quite Islamic and two of my sister daughters studied in here.
Near the school there is also some kind of shopping center, people call it Fitria, located in Gedung Hijau street, and there are many foods vendor there. They are organized and clean. From Bell Hotel Pondok Indah people can use Gojek or Grab car to get there.
