The purpose of this research was to describe the snacking behavior among school children in Jakarta. It was already known that the pupils are prominent consumers of unhealthy snack widely sold near schools. The research method used was quantitative cross-sectional and the population of this study was the pupils of eight elementary schools in Jakarta. Using the purposive random sampling, 400 research respondents were recruited and it was found that their parents give them some pocket money about 1.000 rupiah to 5.000 rupiah per day. The research results showed that siomay (a type of dim sum) and batagor (fried tofu and meat balls) are two favorite snacks for the pupils and they usually buy them in their school's canteen. This finding was quite relieving, but we should worry that there are still many pupils who prefer buying snacks and food from the vendors who sell snacks out of the school yard to those who sell inside the school yard. Further, the research found that 36% of the respondents like food with tomato or chilly sauce.
