Jogjakarta's Culinary: Sate Klathak Pak Pong


I visited Jogjakarta  a while ago with my friend Lala (@oilala) and Dina (@dinavirgianti). We attended the launching of our book "Ransel Mini Keliling Dunia" at Gramedia Jogjakarta. But other than that, we would like to have a culinary tour around the lovely city.

Arriving at lunch time, we were confused what we should choose for our lunch. I really wanted to try food that I haven't tried before in Jogjakarta. Lucky me Lala knows all those must visit restaurants in Jogjakarta. She then introduced me to Sate (Satay) Klathak Pak Pong.

From the airport, we headed south to Bantul area. It took one hour to get to Sate Klathak Pak Pong. Lala has warned us that we will have to wait quiet long for our sate, which was understood as the Sate Klathak should be grilled first, manually.

What's so unique about this place? Of course it's the what so called  "klathak". I asked Lala how's this sate got klathak name. "The stick of the satay is made from wire spoked bicycle wheel. And when being grilled, the iron will sound klathak-klathak" Lala explained. I checked the grill area, I was amazed by the quantity of sate klathak which were being grilled, but didn't hear the sound of "klathak-klathak". Well I guess I didn't stay long enough at the grill area, because of the smoke:p

Look at those wire spoked bicycle wheel

Other than Sate Klathak, you can also order soup (gulai kambing or tongseng), all of them are made from goat. Not really my favorite, however I loved the taste of Sate Klathak! Oh well yes, satay is my favorite food.

We ordered Sate Klathak and Tongseng. We were so happy when the food was finally served.

The satay was very big!


If you are looking for a culinary journey in Jogjakarta, this place must be visited! Most people come for dinner. Well, it was really hot at midday, sitting inside a restaurant without any aircon. So if you are able to choose, I would recommend dinner time.

Not only the food, but you can also make the tour to their kitchen. Do not forget to include Sata Klathak Pak Pong for your next trip to Jogjakarta.

    1. Satenya satu porsi cuman 2 tusuk Fan, nah berhubung enggak bayar sendiri, jadi enggak merhatiin harganya (:

      Gede banget emang Fan, jadi satu keping bisa dipotong2 kecil, 2 tusuk udah pasti kenyang deh (at least aku sih kenyang) hehehe..
