Gudeg Merak Mati — Restaurant in Central Java

Gudeg is one of Central Java's favorite dish, whether from Solo, Jogja or Semarang, although mostly Gudeg is more famous in Solo and Jogja. But Gudeg Merak Mati is a famous Gudeg in Semarang area and they are mostly full from the early morning till they close around 13.00.

We went there before 8 am, although in Google it says it opens at 8, but it did not open until around 8.30 am. No matter, the most important thing is it was open.

And it taste delicious, not too sweet like Jogja, or savory like Solo, a bit in the middle. Their most fave menu is Gudeg Koyor.

Overall it was a good experience and our belly's are happy, haha...

If you use Google Maps, it will show you to go in a small road, in fact the Restaurant is just on the main road, you will not miss it as it has a good parking place (around...

Kekhasan gudeg Merakmati adalah adanya lauk berwujud koyor goreng. Bagian daging berupa urat tendon sapi itu dimasak dengan metode dibumbui, diungkep, lalu digoreng.

Lauk pendamping yang lain juga tak kalah menggelitik. Bermacam jerohan, seperti paru, limpa plus ati berikut babat, iso, serta empal daging dibumbu bacem, dengan ukuran penyajian yang jumbo. Gede-gede. Boleh dibilang komplet untuk urusan lauk pauknya.

Oh iya, satu kearifan lokal dari warung ini adalah kesempatan bagi kita untuk berbagi dengan yang lain. Yup, Mbah Rubinem, pemilik warung makan ini, membatasi pembelian dalam hal jumlah serta kuantitas menu yang dipesan. Para buyer tidak diperkenankan ’nambah’ sekalipun mereka siap membayar lebih.
