Iga Sapi Bali Jogjakarta

This is a very unique food that we found accidentally in yogya, the Iga Sapi Bali (rib). We stayed in a budget hotel called Rumah Palagan and when we walked to a mini maart we found the billboard of Iga Sapi Bali which is only a walking distance from our hotel.

To reach this place, you got to find the street named Palagan Tentara Pelajar, than go straight until you pass the Hyatt, turn right after Pari-Pari (a seafood resto), and you'll find the billboard of the iga sapi bali, than turn left.

We took our parents there to try the Iga Sapi Bali. One portion cost IDR 30,000, we may choose to have the spicy one or the less spicy. All the spice made it a real special food.

Beside iga sapi bali, they have beef satay, five pieces for around IDR 20,000, which is my fave. I prefer to have this than the iga sapi.

If you are not into beef, than try the chicken. Rene tried "kecombrang" I coudn't explain what it is, you may see the picture below:p For me the chicken is too wet, I didn't like it.

The resto is also unique, it's an open concept resto where you can enjoy a small rice field at the back. That's why this resto is always full during lunch and dinner.

Bandeng Mbak Mar

Yess we're still reviewing our food experinces in Solo, and here comes other traditional food that categorized as another "must try". It is called Warung Bandeng Mbak Mar, located on Jalan Gajahmada, still around Novotel. Mbak is how we call Javanese lady prior to her name (to be more polite), while Mar perhaps derrives from the name of the owner (too bad I didn't ask the waiter though). The warung speciality is the ikan bandeng (milkfish).

Upon arrival, guest must choose the food from an open table. All the fishes were half fried or half grilled. We choose to have ikan bandeng, and also the shrimp. Mmmm they were so crunchy and came with a delicious sambal.

All of the food were so cheap. For example the ikan bandeng was only IDR 20,000 and the portion was big! Guest enjoy the dinner on a lesehan way, meaning without chair.

This warung opens from 6 pm 'till midnight, so if you want to try the lesehan way in Solo, this might be one of the options.

Bakso Alex, Jalan Gajahmada Solo

This warung was always full since it is open in the morning until they run out of stock. As it is located near Novotel Solo so we pass this warung bakso (meatball little resto) very often. And in one morning we decided to try it.

They serve bakso only and also mie ayam (chicken noodle). One portion is IDR 8,000, very cheap and also taste really delicious. No wonder this warung is always full house.
