Pasar Minggu
Pasar Minggu is a district (Indonesian: kecamatan) in the administrative city of South Jakarta, Indonesia. The area is known for its traditional Sunday market, famous for the fruit market. Historically, Pasar Minggu is a fruit cultivation area developed by the Dutch government during the colonial period. The central point of the cultivation area is the traditional market of Pasar Minggu, located in what is now the lower-division Pasar Minggu subdistrict. Teak forest could also be found in the Pasar Minggu district, notably around the Jati Padang (Javanese for "bright teak") subdistrict. Most of these areas have been converted into residential areas as Jakarta grows southward.
