Hey, new friend in Jakarta! Now that you joined JakFri... are you a member of Jakarta Writers yet? Want to see pictures of past events? Take a look here! And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event 😊

JakFri and JakWri is the biggest, first, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta... and we invite you to join us for MANADO FOOD night!🤤 Let's share some uniquely delicious food and share this experience with new friends.

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle. Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Just join and enojoy a simple and wonderful occasion to connect authentically with people. We will sit down and eat togehter. Everyone is welcome to join. First-timers particularly welcomed! Our community is inclusive and favours autentic connections and conversations.

We will meet from 7.30 PM and share some delicious food! I encourage everyone to be on time so that we can decide together what to order and try many different things. At the end, we will share the bill in equal parts (except for the booze). You can arrive later but be aware that we might already have started eating. If you prefer to order your own food and pay your own bill, that's possible, but please communicate this clearly to avoid miscommunications. The idea is that we share food and try many different dishes!

After the food, if we feel like, we can go somewhere nearby and continue the evening with a drink.

We have organised this event before! Take a look here:
