Try the factory outlet and you'll get definately better price.
Lots of shopping malls, but traffic is mad.
If you don't like getting stuck in the traffic for 2 hours,
go on weekday at office hours so....make sure you get out of your accommodation at around 9am and back around 2 pm. Do go out around lunch time, as traffic can be bad as well.
Singapore is better choice if you want something closer to Jakarta.
Especially on the "Sale period"
