about JOGJA: My Yogyakarta Trip Part 3

We have come to the most exciting part of my trip -----> food! . I would say, in jogjakarta, you can find relatively cheap and good food. So, for those who are into food hunting (like me), it is not a bad choice.

Breakfast @ 1st Day
We arrived at Jogjakarta kind of early in the morning, 9am. My cousin, Emily brought us to this shop which sells Bakso.

Bakso Babar Djogjakarta.

Our first meal in Jogja --> Bakso. Very delicious!! Bakso is chicken soup noodles with beef meat balls. The meat balls are springy and nice. (Rp6k/bowl ~RM2.50)

Common drinks in Indonesia. Left - Es Jeruk, Right - Es Teh. Es stands for Ice. Es Jeruk tasted like mandarin orange juice. (Rp2500/glass ~RM1)

Lunch @ 1st Day
It was raining and we went to this cozy restaurant.

Parsley Bakery. A chain restaurant in Indonesia. Nice and dim in the restaurant.

My cousin Emily went to get some local pastry for us. Macaroni is made of the macaroni pasta. Then, the white cake with a chilli on top is called Misoa. Misoa is made of rice vercimille (面线), very special (and spicy too!) The two yellowy things are Risoles and Egg Roll. They tasted okay. And the chocolate cake is called Opera.

Chicken Maryland (Rp25k ~RM9)

Seafood fried rice (Rp25k ~RM9)

Beef Steak (Rp29k ~RM11)

Indo fried rice (Rp21k ~RM8) I ate this. It was spicy and the chicken satay was nice.

Our drinks. Iced coffee (Rp12k ~RM4.50), Tropical Pasley (Rp14k ~RM5), Lemon Squash (Rp10k ~RM4), Mixed Juice (Rp14k ~RM5)

Dinner @ 1st Day

We went to a place which had chalets built on a lake. And in the middle of the lake, was a stage for performance. The environment was windy and cool.

Restoran Boyong Kalegan.

You have to sit on the mat while dining.

An Indonesian singer. She kept on asking us to go on the stage and sing. And she thought we were Korean @@.

We ordered a set dinner. All the food and drinks cost Rp195k (~RM70)

Gurameh Asam Manis - This is a common fish, I think it is called Talapia (非洲鱼) in Malaysia.

Seafood soup with lots of tomatoes.

Ayam Bakar. Roasted chicken, it may look dark but it was nice!

Lalapan - raw vegie.

Cumi goreng tepung. Cumi stands for squids. This battered squids was yummy. :)

Karedok - a flaming hot and spicy salad with peanut sauce.

We ordered Es Jeruk and this -Wedang Kalegan. This is a warm drink, ginger flavor and it has bread in it! Very weird food, felt like a fish while eating the bread (you know, we use bread to feed the fish)

Breakfast @ 2nd Day
Our hotel prepared us some yummy noodles for breakfast (I'll blog later on the hotel part). And yet, we still went out for breakfast. We went to Tlugo Putri for some local food.

Wajik - a local delight made of glutinous rice and brown sugar (gula jawa)

This is how you eat wajik. like a hamburger, fold the wajik with jadah tempe. Tempe is the white thingy which made of soya beans. And top it with a chili!

Ronde - something like the Chinese glutinous rice ball. The base is gingery and it has lots of roasted peanuts in it. Lovely drinks.

Guess what, I have a video too, wee... (the person who laugh like a horse is not me XD)

Tea Break @ 2nd Day
On the way back from Borobudur, we had teh poci to cool us down. It is a stall which can be found in many places in Indonesia. It sells different flavours of tea. Price is shown in the picture. We found the tea was too sweet for our liking. :)

We saw a stall selling manggoes. Very cheap. We bought 5 manggoes for Rp10k (~RM4) and they are sweet and nice.XD

Lunch @ 2nd Day
After Borobudur, we went to a place nearby to have very yummy fried chicken and fried duck rice.

Warung Djadoel (according to my cousin, Djadoel means old times)

You can choose to sit on the mat or on chair.

Super yummy fried chicken rice. The chili paste was fiery. (Rp18k/plate ~RM7)

I forgot to take a photo of the fried duck rice. It was yummy too. Nasi bebek goreng (Rp23k ~RM9). Bebek means duck in Indonesia.

Cocacola is not popular, they have teh botol (Rp2500/bottle ~RM1). The green coloured drinks are Alpukat (Rp7500/glass RM3), which is Avacado Juice with chocolate. Unlike Malaysia, Avocado is quite common in Indonesia.
