The other side of Jakarta

One is the deejay of The Bright Side on Mediacorp 987; the other is singer-songwriter of indie band The Sam Willows. Put Sonia Chew and Benjamin Kheng — two musically inclined individuals — together for the ultimate TravelSSBD (Same Same But Different) trip and will they sync or swim? Find out in the duo’s adventure as they discover a whole new side of Jakarta. 

MARINE PARADISE

Did you know Jakarta is home to the Thousand Islands, or Kepu-lauan Seribu as the locals call them? The islands house beautiful resorts and historic parks — all offering perfect locales for snorkelling, diving and fishing. 

Tune in to Toggle to find out the best way to enjoy these islands, and also see why certain creatures return to this idyllic marine park. 

HANG-OUT SPOTS

Discover where the zany pair liked to “hang out” in Jakarta, and be prepared to get sweaty palms when you watch them in action!

As if that wasn’t high enough, our fun-loving duo found another way to scale new heights at the rooftop resort SKYE Bar & Restaurant. Located on the 56th floor of BCA Tower, Sonia and Benjamin were closer to the stars than most revellers in Jakarta. 

To satiate the desire of good food, there is only one thing to do: Go on a gastronomic tour on foot! Remember to make room for local delights like nasi padang, tauhu goreng and so much more.
