Suddenly Miss Jogjakarta (part 3)

I saw pictures of some of my friends went to Jogjakarta this weekend.

Those pictures made me miss Jogjakarta.

I miss the "angkringan" or street food which I can find in every corner of this city.

One of this angkringan sells Kopi Joss.

I never heard about Kopi Joss until I went to Jogjakarta last year.

It's a hot black coffee served with hot charcoal in it. And it doesn't taste weird at all.

It's like coffee. They believe that charcoal can lower the caffeine in coffee.

And it's just became a unique experience and I drank the coffee twice during my stay.

This coffee usually at the stall nearby the train station.

They also sell food and noodle and small portion of white rice called nasi kucing with side dishes different kind of satay, such as: chicken liver, chicken intestine and other chicken organs

and it taste unbelievably delicious.

Another meal for supper is Gudeg Mercon. The famous gudeg mercon is Gudeg Mercon Bu Tinah at Jalan Asem Gede Kranggan. The location is really close to Gudeg Bu Djuminten store.

First time we're looking for this place we thought the place had closed because it's too late.

But when we came back later, it's already open.

The gudeg is different cause it's more spicy then other gudeg that's why they called it gudeg mercon.

And it's so delicious because I'm a spicy food lover.

Another stop at night is Bakmi Harjo Geno just in front of Pasar Prawirotaman.

The place was very small, so usually it has to be a long que to be served.

However lucky us, since we had this place for ourself.

I tried the nyemek style, it's the cooking method like stir and fry, so the noodle is not too dry.

Or you can try the magelangan, that's the combination between fried noodle and fried rice.

Hmmm.....writing this post certainly make me hungry.

I think I'm gonna cook some instant noodle for my dinner.
