Waaahh,,,, I'm embarrassed. It turns out that menteng, matoa, and also gandaria are the names of fruits.

Heuhh,,, I found out that it was Jalan Menteng, there are many culinary delights there, I often go there. But that was before, when I was living in Jakarta.

I have released all the information I know about the names of fruits that are used as street names.

Greetings always compact.
