Lately, I made many short trips with my family and friends during weekend. Having limited days of leave from the office was the main reason, other will be to have "a me time" with my friends. And that what we did when we decided to explore Jogjakarta in one day.
Thanks to many flights from Jakarta's International Airport Soekarno Hatta to Jogjakarta. We left Jakarta at 06.00 am (Garuda Indonesia's first flight) and took the 09.00pm as our return flight.
During the day, what we did was mainly shopping and enjoying Jogjakarta's culinary. We stopped by at Ullen Sentalu museum, but did not join the tour until the end because of our time constraint. We ended our day at Epic Coffee, a very nice coffeeshop in Jogjakarta, my favourite so far.
Here's our Mommies Day Out Trip, from breakfast to dinner in Jogjakarta. Pssst, we made 10 stops in one day!
Here's our Mommies Day Out Trip, from breakfast to dinner in Jogjakarta. Pssst, we made 10 stops in one day!
1. Breakfast at Empal Yoeni
We arrived in Jogjakarta Adi Sucipto Airport around 07.00 am and started our day having breakfast at Sop Empal Yoeni. The beef (or the "empal") was really good, too bad the soup that morning was too salty.

Dr.Sarjito no 3, Jogja.
(It's about 5 minutes drive from Hotel Tentrem, my fave hotel in Jogjakarkta).
Opens Daily from 06.00 am to 02.00 pm.
2. Bakpia Merlino
Jogjakarta is famous for its snack called Bakpia, and there are maybe hundred of Bakpia brands in town. My top picks are only two brands though: Kurnia Sari and Merlino. We called to Merlino two days before going to Jogjakarta, so that they had prepared our Bakpia before we arrived at their store.
Try the green tea Bakpia, the best in Merlino. But due to its color (yup purple is my color hahaha) you should also try this purple bakpia made from taro.

Opens at 08.00 am.

3. Pasar Beringharjo
When we came, the market was still empty. We could watch the sellers were preparing their shop to open. Pasar Beringharjo is famous for cheap clothes. So this market should be in your shopping itinerary in Jogjakarta.
I bought "a batik lawasan" for IDR 50,000 at the back of the market. "Lawasan" means old style, so the color and the pattern remind us of those old days:D
It was very hot inside the market, even in the morning. So after about one hour, we finished our shopping and exited the market. Then I found many street food in front of the market. Ohhh they all look so yummy !
4. Batik Rumah Jogjakarta
Where to shop good batik in Jogjakarta? One of the must visited shop according to our list is Batik Rumah, located near Alun-alun Jogjakarta. The price is lots more expensive compared to Pasar Beringharjo (well, of course!), but the place is lovely and the aircon worked well:D

5. Snack Shopping at Jalan Mataram Jogjakarta
After a very hot shopping session at Pasar Beringharjo, we wanted to have gelato! So we headed to Tempo Gelato on Jalan Prawirotaman. On our way, we stopped a while to buy Jogjakarta's snack on Jalan Mataram.
6. Tempo Gelato, The Best Ice Cream in Jogjakarta
I love Ice Cream, and wanted to try Tempo Gelato badly! Seen many pictures of this famous gelato in Jogjakarta on instagram, and it was time to finally try it!
Tempo Gelato opens at 10.30am, but although arriving early, the place was already crowded.
Not only the gelato was good, but also the cone! And we only paid IDR 20,000 for a small Gelato, which includes two flavors! Writing this part was really challenging, I am craving for Tempo Gelato!

7. Having Lunch at Soto Kadipiro
Soto is not my kind of food actually, but the famous Soto Kadipiro is too bad to be missed. We went there around 1 pm, and found the restaurant was dirty. Maybe there were too many guests during lunch, and the staff did not have time to clean the restaurant.
The taste is so so, but anyway it's still worth a visit. Take my advice, add another chicken to your Soto and ask the staff to put it inside your bowl.
 |
| My bowl full of chicken:D |
8. Ullen Sentalu Museum
Probably the best museum in Jogjakarta at the moment is the Ullen Sentalu Museum. We had to spend one hour drive from Soto Kadipiro to Ullen Sentalu, waited for a while for our turn to get in. The effort was well worth it, the tour through Ullen Sentalu was enjoyable. Too bad we were not allowed to take picture inside the museum.
We didn't have enough time to enjoy the whole tour, we exited after we had a drink at the museum. I will be back for sure to this museum!

10. Batik Indigo Jogjakarta
It was our first visit to Batik Indigo, and we just loved it! We met the owner, Ibu Irma, a very beautiful lady. The shop is inside her lovely house.

We could make our tailor made batik, with price range starting IDR270.000, and have it sent to our home in Jakarta. Batik Indigo is located near the airport, so make sure you visit it after you arrive in Jogjakarta or on your way going back to the airport.
