"It
was
a
hidden
treasure
located
on
the
outskirts
of
Jakarta."
One
sunny
Sunday
morning,
I
embarked
on
a
bike
ride
along
a
new
route.
Following
jalan
Jatiwaringin,
I
made
my
way
towards
jalan
Raya
Hankam.
It
marked
my
first
venture
into
this
particular
area.
After
approximately
55
minutes
of
riding,
I
decided
to
take
a
short
break.
It
was
during
this
pause
that
I
happened
upon
a
sign
for
'Rumah
Perubahan'
(RP)
and
'Jakarta
Escape.'
Having
previously
watched
several
of
Professor
#rhenaldkhasali's
podcasts,
my
curiosity
was
piqued,
and
I
felt
compelled
to
explore
this
area
further.
From
the
exterior,
it
appeared
to
be
a
private
residence,
surrounded
by
a
high
fence
and
a
grand
gate.
After
obtaining
permission
from
the
security
personnel,
I
was
graciously
allowed
inside
and
escorted
by
another
guard
on
a
motorcycle.
The
property
was
adorned
with
numerous
Javanese
wooden
gates
(gebyog)
and
towering
trees.
To
my
astonishment,
I
discovered
an
extraordinary
gem
on
the
outskirts
of
Jakarta.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
the
Marketing
staff
and
gain
insights
into
the
sprawling
8-hectare
estate,
complete
with
training
facilities,
lodging
accommodations,
a
restaurant,
café,
and
even
a
swimming
pool.
Armed
with
this
information,
I
continued
my
bike
ride,
visiting
the
tempeh-making
site,
a
spacious
hall
suitable
for
traditional
weddings,
and
engaging
in
playful
banter
with
some
friendly
deer.
I
then
proceeded
to
the
Pengilon
restaurant
at
Rumah
Victoria,
making
a
mental
note
to
try
their
cuisine
on
a
future
visit.
I
explored
the
Galea
Belangi
area,
featuring
a
stylish
Javanese-modern
wedding
hall
nestled
alongside
a
crystal-clear
swimming
pool.
My
journey
concluded
at
Rumah
Turki.
The
experience
was
nothing
short
of
enchanting,
providing
a
much-needed
respite
amidst
lush
greenery
and
refreshing
air.
I
plan
to
return
in
a
few
weeks
with
my
family
to
relish
both
the
environment
and
the
culinary
offerings
at
Pengilon.
I
extend
my
heartfelt
gratitude
for
creating
such
a
serene
oasis
at
