Jakarta Good Food Guide (JGFG) Update 2009 is the supplement of the 2nd edition of JGFG 2008-2009. It contains almost 100 new restaurants compiled between March 2008 and June 2009.

JGFG—which is listed in the Indonesian collection of world class publications of the National Library of Australia (2001) and the Editorial Merit winner of the HOW Magazine USA’s 10th Graphic Design Award (2002-2003)—is Indonesia’s first independent good food guide. It accepts advertising but NOT from restaurants. Restaurateurs cannot buy an editorial listing or a favourable rating in this guide.

JGFG Update 2009 and JGFG 2008-2009 Revised 2nd Edition together feature over 500 restaurants, casual eateries, street vendors and kaki limas in Jakarta.

JGFG Update 2009 and JGFG 2008-2009 Revised 2nd Edition can now be accessed on iPhone and iPod Touch.

They are also available on-line through your personal computer (http://www.jgfg.vivanews.com) and mobile phone (http://m-jgfg.vivanews.com). See bookmark for password and log-in details.

At last, the benchmark for good dining in Jakarta is established through candid writing and honest critiques.
- William Wongso, restaurateur, gastronome.

What impresses most in the JGFG (pardon the Orba-esque acronym) is its all-around quality: the clean, elegant design by Le Bo Ye; the thoughtful separation of categories; the concise, catchy writing; and most of all, the informative, critical, knowledgeable reviews … the prose is consistently playful, insightful, polished and never clichéd.
- Djakarta! – City Life Magazine

Governor of Good Eating in Jakarta!
- Bondan Winarno, food critic, gourmet and television personality, for Tempo

This is a delicious read and must-have for long-time residents of the city … Jakarta foodies … have seen nothing like it before.
