NIGHT CULINARY IN MALIOBORO
The cultural heart of Indonesia, Yogyakarta, is a gastronome’s delight with countless restorans and warungs from which to choose from. Not only that, you have the choice of delicacies from around the archipelago available from the street vendors or kaki lima. Yogyakarta’s traditional dish is Gudeg Yogya and can be purchased just about anywhere and at anytime of the day. Sampling the variety of foods available in the area or island you visit is exciting and especially for your palette.
Yogyakarta dishes are renowned for their sweetness. Over the decades more and more people have moved to Yogya from around the archipelago and now you have more diversity in flavours. There are many different kinds of interesting dishes, ranging from spicy to sweet and those fiery dishes that feel as though your throat has been ripped out. Because of the high population of Chinese residents in Yogyakarta, their culinary delights have also fused into the cuisine available.
But when in Yogya, it is the street food that is the most delicious. Everynight after the shops close, Lesehan vendors construct their tent-style warungs. It is great to sit on mats and get to know the locals whilst munching away on some delicious Yogyanese food. The food is cheap and there are the occasional wandering minstrels who will entertain you till the wee hours of the morning. Also, all along Jalan Malioboro mats are laid out on the pavement where the patrons can sit and enjoy the kaki lima food cooked fresh.
