Arriving around 1 pm jogja time, I was very hungry and excited to try Javanese dishes.
First stop at Yu Djum to try the famous "Gudeg"
 |
| amazed on the vintage container served at each table |
 |
| Gudeg serve with duck egg and stewed beef skin |
Gudeg is a traditional Javanese cuisine from Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia. Gudeg is made from young unripe jack fruit (Javanese: gori, Indonesian: nangka muda) stewed for several hours with palm sugar, and coconut milk.Additional spices include garlic, shallot, candlenut, corianderseed, galangal, bay leaves, and teak leaves, the latter giving a reddish-brown color to the dish.[5] It is often described as "green jack fruit sweet stew". [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudeg]
my verdict: too sweet for me, or perhaps not used with palm sugar sweetness as a main course dish

| ampela (chicken hearts and gizzards) cooked in palm sugar |
 |
| "snake-skin fruit" |
Salak (Salacca zalacca) is a species of palm tree (family Arecaceae) native to Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. It is cultivated in other regions as a food crop, and reportedly naturalized in Bali, Lombok, Timor, Malaysia, Maluku and Sulawesi. The fruits grow in clusters at the base of the palm, and are also known as snake fruit due to the reddish-brown scaly skin. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salak]
