get your tummy scream (Java-Bali edition)

SEMARANG


'lumpia' is the famous food in this city. Lumpia Semarang have a different taste and smell with other lumpia. There's two type of lumpia, lumpia basah and lumpia goreng. One of the famous lumpia is 'Loenpia Mbak Lien' at Jl. Grajen - Semarang.



this is the place :)

In Indonesia we had 'tek-tek', tek-tek is a fried rice/noodle/rice noodle that cooked in a simple cart and has a unique sound like "tek..tek..tek..tek..". but it a bit different with tek-tek in Semarang, they cooked with fire from the charcoal not with gas like others. Also there was 'mie nyemek' (fried noodle with a little bit more soy sauce). I found one of delicious tek-tek in Semarang at Jl. Gajah Mada, near from Gumaya Tower Hotel Semarang.

YOGYAKARTA


'nasi angkringan' or we called 'nasi kucing' is one of the famous food from Yogyakarta, you can find this in many street such as maliboro and near Keraton. Every night nasi kucing always full of Yogyakarta's teenager. This food is very unique because portion of the rice was very small and we can take our side dish as we want, they serve any kind of satay, tofu and tempe, fried chicken, salty egg, martabak, mini sausage, and many more. This food was so cheap! Don't think this food is in a restaurant, this nasi kucing is in road side and no chair and table, you must sit on the floor with mat.

this is what we called 'nasi kucing' or 'angkringan'


Not only that, you must try 'nasi gudeg' from Yogyakarta. I found one of the best nasi gudeg near from Keraton Yogyakarta. Nasi gudeng is a rice that you can mixed with 'kerecek' (cow's skin cracker with coconut milk and has a little bit spicy mixed with tempe), 'telur semur' (boiled egg that marinated with soy sauce), 'sayur nangka' (jackfruit marinated with soy sauce), fried tofu, fried tempe, and fried chicken.


one of the yummy one

Out of my expectation, i found a very delicious burger named Mister Burger beside Bu Widodo's Gudeg Restaurant. Seems not really convince, but when i try one bite.... Oh My God, this burger was so yummy! Full with mayonnaise and cheese sauce. Compared with Klenger Burger or Blenger Burger or other burger outlet in Jakarta, i prefer this burger much. Only Rp 11.000, you can get this big yummy burger :)

try this burger!

SURABAYA

I'm searching for spicy food, so i choose to ate 'ayam penyet' (fried chicken smashed with very hot chilly) in Warung Bu Kris at Taman Ruko Kayoon 46C - Surabaya. This restaurant is one of the best and crowded place, everyone go to this restaurant to tasted their food. Not only ayam penyet, in this restaurant also offer any menu such as 'rawon' (black soup from Surabaya, consist of 'kluwak', bean sprouts and beef), 'empal' (beef), fried fish, 'pecel' (mixed vegetables), and many more.

BALI

If you eat "non-halal" food which is contain of pork, you must try Mama's German Restaurant at Jalan Raya Legian - Kuta Bali.  In this restaurant, they offer many delicious menu such as spaghetti, pizza, french fries, roasted pork, vienna schnitzel beef, and much more. There was also a bar if you want to drink beer.

There are many "non-halal" food in Bali, one of the famous one is 'babi guling' (rolled pork). I used to eat babi guling in Warung Makan Babi Guling Dodo at Wantilan Br. Tampak Gangsul - Denpasar Bali. Only with Rp 25.000, you can eat this yummy food full with side dish such as rice, pork meat, 'lawir', grilled pork skin, pork's skin cracker, chilly, and a soup.

Now we moved to the "halal" food. In Bali, everybody know Nasi Pedas Bu Andhika at Jl. Raya Kuta 120C - Kuta Bali Selatan. This restaurant is always full of queue especially during holidays. This restaurant is same as 'warteg' but with different menu, the special one of this restaurant is the very hot chilly. We can choose our side dish such as 'ayam suwir' (cut of chicken's meat), tempe, egg, fried chicken, long bean, satay, chilly and many more.
