Indonesia is rich of tourism places and delicious food. The place and food is a unity, as every place offer its own menu. Here, I want to talk about duck meat not in the restaurant but on the street food stall. It is a guide for backpackers to find a place to eat in Yogyakarta.

Some place offer different way in cooking duck such as fried, roasted as setae or curried. A few days ago, I have the opportunity to taste fried duck at two different places: Bebek cak Koting and Bebek Mbah Wongso.  Those two-food stalls are specialized in cooking duck that is called ‘bebek’ in Bahasa Indonesia.

Well, let us go to the first place at Bebek Cak Koting. The place is on Jl. Dr. Sutomo, Lempuyangan, Yogyakarta under the Jembatan Layang or flyover. The menu here is fried and roasted duck. I prefer fried duck at that time. The price is IDR 16,000 for the duck and IDR 2,000 for a plate of rice. The fried duck is tasty enough, as I can taste its spices. In addition, the meat is soft inside and crispy outside. The crispy fried flavored flour is completing the taste. Dish of raw vegetables like cabbage, basil and cucumber accompany the duck and chili condiment gives a biting taste. Overall, it has good taste but higher price.

The second place is Bebek Wongso at Jl. Godean before the Giant Supermarket. The duck size is similar to the first place but it has lower price, for only IDR 9,000 and similar price for the rice. The taste is less tasty than the first duck, as it more salty. The meat is not softer than the first food stall. Overall, the first stall is better in taste. However, this stall has a plus. It gives more vegetable for the dish. The dish consists of papaya leaf, basin, cabbage and cucumber. The chili condiment is also better in taste.

I suggest Bebek Wongso for backpackers that price does matter, as it has lower price but not too bad for the taste. If you spend IDR 25,000, you will get two fried duck, a plate of rice and two glass of ice tea.
