What is the "Overpriced Warung Restaurant Bill" scam in Jakarta?

Question

Accepted Answer

Tourist-facing warungs (small restaurants) near Kota Tua and Ancol add items to bills that were never ordered, charge for condiments listed as complimentary on menus, or present menus without prices then charge inflated rates. Bills are sometimes presented in a confusing mix of denominations. Ask for an itemized receipt and check each line. Photograph the menu with prices before ordering. Choose warungs where locals are eating.
