Hi lifes
Well if you want to eat in Jakarta (street) check the place first, most of its ok as long as it clean. Much of food at street more delicious than restaurant.
Try Nasi Goreng Gila in Jaksa area, near of that also Soto Ayam (chicken Soto) beside Sarinah Mall & still much more.
Tips: Try to avoid during of lunch time cos will be so rush, you also can take it away. And careful with the thief
Hope you'll enjoy Jakarta

mostly all the street foods are safe, as Lavina says, you must check the place. Where will you stay during in Jakarta btw ?
Many street foods in Jaksa Street or nearby, e.g : satay, gado-gado, etc
There is a traditional local restaurant -- here we called 'warteg' -- in Jalan Jaksa/near Morrisey Hotel. And next to the Warteg there is a small cafe. Lots of backpackers or sometimes foreigners have lunch in this Warteg. This Warteg serve a variety of local foods, the place is quite clean. But, this place is very small.
Btw...pra-welcome to Jakara...

Frogs legs cooked with garlic found in Bali are great, black rice pudding found up in the mountains was great, fruits found in Indonesia are great over there, there is a really interesting Zoo in Surabaya has some really different creatures in it, Borobudur Buddhist Temple accessed from Yogyakarta is well worth a visit.

Rock I think it depends on how you eat normally, by that I mean if you already experiment with your eating habits and try different, exotic 'unhomogenised' food, you're halfway there.
People who have bland diets seem to fare the worst in these situations.
My experience in countries such as Indonesia is to eat at stalls which are busy with customers, that means there is a fast turnover and less chance of food spoiling in the heat prior to cooking.
Never, ever eat raw vegetables, salads etc, avoid ice in your drinks and use bottled water only, including when brushing your teeth

Best restaurants..?? Hmmm...
Well I am not so sure about the best one as I don't dine out very often. I cook my own food ..
But I think you can try some in here:1. The Shawn's Seafood & Bistro (Jl. Pluit Kencana Raya No. 39 Jakarta Utara)
2. Cahaya Kota (Jl. KH. Wahid Hasyim No. 80 Jakarta Pusat)
3. Ayam Taliwang (Jl. KH. Ahmad Dahlan No, 27 Jakarta Selatan)
4. Outback Steak House (Jl. Sudirman 9th Jakarta Selatan)
And I am sure you can find other good restaurants in:
1 Sheraton Media Hotel & Towers (Jl. Gunung Sahari Raya No. 3 jakarta),
2. Grand Indonesia (Jl. MH Thamrin Jakarta)
3. Plaza Senayan (Jl. Asia Afrika Jakarta Selatan)
4. Pondok Indah Mall (Jakarta Selatan)
If you are interested in Padang Food, there are many Sederhana Restaurants in Jakarta.
Now for site seeing in Jakarta.. I think Old Jakarta Kota is a good place to start with.. and then you can go to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, where you can see miniature Indonesia. You can go to Bogor too.. but I don't think you'll have enough time.
In Bali, I think your friend knows it better..
Fishing trip..?? I have never done that, so I have no suggestion..
What else.. hhmm..?
