If you had a chance to go to Yogyakarta, please make time to visit this local restaurant. I got recommendation by my friend who stay in Yogyakarta for her study, she said Sate Klathak is a must try food here. The best Sate Klathak is this one: Pak Pong Pusat. I've been to Yogyakarta 3 times, and this last time was the first time I try this dish. It's really delicious! These were some menu that I ordered: White rice (1 portion). Sate klathak (this dish contain 2 skewers that has a juicy and tender meat and some yellow soup that seems to be made from turmeric under the skewers. I like this satay because the juicy and tender meat, the taste was 4/5⭐️). Tengkleng (I really love this one! This food was like ribs and bones that comes with a super delicious seasoning. You can choose the spicy level: mild/ spicy/ super spicy, and I choose spicy. I actually don't really enjoy spicy dish, because it'll make me sweat so much and my stomach can't handle that, but I still can enjoy this ribs. It was 5/5⭐️ and goes really well with the white rice). Tongseng daging (this was a mixture of beef, chicken and lamb. I like the brown soup, the taste was super rich and goes well too with white rice). Nasi goreng kambing (you should order this! This is my number 1 favorite. I just can't put it to words on how much I love this nasi goreng 💕).
The place somehow comfortable and spacy, I came here on the middle November 2020. You should avoid come here on lunch/ dinner time, I bet it would be really crowded. They have clean toilet and spacy parking lot for your vehicle. Don't forget to come here when you go to Yogyakarta, Central Java,...

Read moreIf not because the waiting time was 1 hour, precisely 1 hour 😭, I would rate this place 5 ⭐. Came here on a Sunday night. Place was quite far from the city. It has 2 different sitting areas, so the restaurant is big. It can fit hundreds people in one seating. Most of tables were occupied. We had to order near the cashier area, wrote down all the orders and gave it to the waitress. The moment she got our order, she right away warned us that our order would take an hour approx. We could only say ok, as it's far from our hotel and we were starving! Food came. We ordered 2 portions of Sate, 1 Tongseng, and 1 Nasi Goreng Kambing. Me and my husband were super amazed. It was the BEST sate kambing (lamb satay) we have ever eaten. No marination whatsoever, it was just salty and smokey, but since it was that simple, we could taste the great flavor of the lamb. So freakin' soft! No bad smell at all. Tongseng was ok, nasi goreng was ok. But the sate??? Thumbs up! So I wonder why it has to take 1 hour for the food to be prepared since order was placed. I got the answer 🤧 The restaurant only has 1 guy to grill the sate. It was literally just 1 grill. My goodness. I don't know if it was just a marketing trick so the restaurant would always look full, or because they only trust 1 particular guy to grill. Such a shame though. If they could improve the cooking time, imagine how many more people can be...
