Hello food lovers... Surely those of you who have been to Jogja, are certainly familiar with Jalan Malioboro. Yeah... This is one of the icons of the city of Jogja. This place which is a favorite of tourists offers various uniqueness such as delman, becaks lined up on the side of the road. This road is famous as one of the shopping places as well as a place to hang out. There are also many culinary here... various kinds of regional specialties are sold on the side of the road. A few days ago my husband and I visited Jalan Malioboro to look for breakfast. I ordered Soto Ayam and Sate Koyor. Are you curious about these two types of food? If so... let me explain.
Soto Ayam
Soto Ayam is a common food in Indonesia and is sold everywhere... However, each place has a different taste. So, I did not miss to taste Soto Ayam sold on Jalan Malioboro. Soto Ayam itself is a chicken soup with special spices... usually served with a mixture of bean sprouts, sliced cabbage and spring onions. In addition, it is usually added with sweet soy sauce and lime juice. Lime juice adds a fresh taste to Soto Ayam. Soto Ayam can be eaten with or without rice. For Soto Ayam on Jalan Malioboro, the taste is very authentic, better than Soto Ayam that I usually eat in Jakarta. The price is also quite cheap, for one portion of Soto Ayam with rice it only costs fifteen thousand rupiah.
Koyor Satay
Koyor Satay, this is my first time trying it. Koyor is beef fat... So, Koyor Satay means satay made from beef fat. Because it was my first time trying it, I was afraid that the taste would not suit my tongue so I ordered half Koyor Satay and half Chicken Satay. After trying it, it turned out that Koyor Satay was quite delicious. However, for those of you who are on a diet, I suggest you don't eat it. The price range is also quite cheap, one portion of Koyor Satay mixed with Chicken Satay is only twenty-five thousand rupiah or equivalent to 1.53 USD.
Above is an explanation of Soto Ayam and Sate Koyor and a little story about the experience of eating on Malioboro Street. I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to read my writing about Soto Ayam and Sate Koyor on Malioboro Street. I hope you like it... have a nice day!
