In search of the Kerak Telor or the Batavian omelet :)
This post is slightly longish one. Though the title mentions about an omelet, i just write it in a flow, so it documents my perspective of looking at this country, people and events . If interested, do follow the links to know more about the jakarta fair. The omelet is called "Batavian" as Jakarta used t be called "Batavia" some time in the past.

On the day we came to Jakarta , on the twelve lane road to my apartment, along the side, we spotted a few vendors, seemingly selling eggs. Me and my husband discussed that this probably another way of selling eggs in this country. Coming from India, i was also surprised by the colourful eggs, they had the dull green ones and the golden brown ones. We would see them daily, but only after sunset. We thought maybe it would be too hot in the day to sit there
