JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government officials went directly to the field to check the existence of Nasi Padang selling pork in the Kelapa Gading area, North Jakarta.

This check was carried out after the pork field rice was widely discussed on social media. This was revealed by the Head of the Supervision and Control Section of the DKI Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy (Disparekraf), Iffan.

"My friends are back in the field. This initial information has gone viral on social media, right. That's why the team checked the field", Iffan said when contacted, Friday, June 10.

However, Iffan does not want to comment on whether or not the rice business license that sells non-halal meat is allowed.

"I can't comment on anything before exploring the problem. We'll see first, okay", he said.

According to information received, the restaurant, which serves a variety of Padang specialties made from pork, is located in Kelapa Gading Timur, North Jakarta. The restaurant, named Babiambo, is currently busy on social media. The owner also promotes through an online delivery platform where various non-halal Minang dishes are clearly displayed, grilled pork rice, pork rendang rice, pork curry, babiambo rice rames, and other menus.

Jakarta Deputy Governor, Ahmad Riza Patria, also commented. Riza sees that a typical Minangkabau restaurant should sell all halal menus. Therefore, he asked all business actors to be careful in making food sales innovations.

"All Padang restaurants should be halal. Then, if you want creativity, that's fine, but don't hurt others", said Riza.

Riza is worried that other people, especially Muslims, buy food there and don't know that the meat being sold is pork.

"As far as we know and we usually eat at Padang restaurants, all the menus are halal. So if something isn't halal, it's beyond our limitations. It's feared that people will eat it at Padang restaurants, they don't know if it's haram", he explained.
