FoodsDiva: Left my heart in Jogjakarta, Indonesia

Well..well…after a rough ride from the mountain, here we are in Malioboro. Good bye fresh air! This place is just bustling!

This market sells lots of stuffs from types of souvenir, batik, clothes, medicine, food, fruits, etc. And of course, which Asian market would be complete without the downright strange. Snake skin fruit 'salak' where you can see all over the place, on the road side and side walk.

Salak: It has an astringent taste and are sweet

During this trip, I've a list of new foods that I've experienced in Indonesia.

Bakso: meat balls with noodles, celery, fried shallots, and hot beef broth.
Gudeg: white rice, chicken, hard-boiled egg, fried tofu and/or tempeh, and sambel goreng krecek.
Sambel Ijau: Caution! Spicy. I can say its staple at all Indonesian tables.
Pecel Lele: A fried catfish cooked with chilies and served with white rice. Simple but it’s a standout across Jogjakarta.
Gado-gado: All kind of boiled vegetables served with a peanut sauce dressing
Ketoprak: a simple street dish that tastes mostly of peanuts and spice. Contains vermicelli, tofu, bean sprout and cracker
Rawon: A beef stew that goes heavy on the keluak nut to give it a nutty flavour and black colour.
