Yogyarkarta is full of quaint eateries that are unique to the town and popular among the locals in the evenings. Explore different types of snacks and dishes at these hidden venues on a culinary exploration of Yogyakarta on foot hopping from stall to stall to enjoy tasty street food!
Programme Details
After work or school, many of Yogyakarta’s local people go for a glass of kopi joss on the street. A piece of blazing charcoal is dropped into the coffee producing a sizzling sound which leads to the name “joss.” More than just a great drink, joss is an experience. Enjoy this unique beverage as locals do while bumping shoulders with them.
A short stroll away is bustling Malioboro Street. Visit a street vendor from South Sumatra who has been selling delicious Pempek fish cakes there since 1984. Served with spicy and sour tamarind sauce, it makes a great appetizer and is best enjoyed with Indonesia’s unofficial national drink, Teh Botol.
The next stop, the popular Bakmi “Kadin”, named after the Indonesian Chamber or Industry of Commerce simply because it is located by the office building, is reached quickly by local Andong horse cart. Javanese-style fried noodles are on the menu, which are usually accompanied to the sound of traditional Javanese songs played by street musicians on a karaoke machine.
Move on by becak through the South-Square of the Sultan’s Palace to Alun-alun Kidul Field with its sacred twin Banyan. Locals gather here to ride on carts decorated with colorful lamps. Try to walk in a straight line between the two Banyan trees with blindfolded eyes: local legend says a wish will come true!
The journey continues to a so-called Pendopo, a semi-open royal house that turns into a food venue at night. Both sweet and savoury coconut and palm sugar treats are here in abundance. The atmosphere is a bit quirky and invites sitting down with a good cup of coffee or tea as day fades into night and the evening vibes settle in. (D)
