Fried Duck for Lunch or Dinner
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.
Taste The King’s Cuisine at Gadri Resto
The King of Jogjakarta or commonly called the Sultan has secret cuisine. The kind of cuisine can not be found at any restaurant. The restaurant that holds the secret recipe is only at Gadri Resto Jogjakarta. The place is located at JL. Rotowijayan no.5 Kraton, Yogyakarta, near the west gate of Kraton (Sultan’s Palace) Jogjakarta.
When the tourists are finished observing the historical places at the Kraton surrounding like Museum Kereta (Sultan’s Horse Wagon Museum), Ngasem Bird Market and Tamansari, it is the time to satisfy the tongue with the historical tasted cuisine. Why it is historical tasted cuisine? The answer is that the recipes are the heritage of the Sultans. The foods are what the Sultans love to eat. The recipes are only known by close relative of Sultan.
