Ronde Sekoteng Jago — Restaurant in Salatiga

Best traditional drink ever!!!really without doubt...for foreigners, this dessert are very traditional and an important essence of true java heritage. This are made either with a lot of ginger or tons of boiled peanuts (there are 2 option) sooo, consider yourself warned. And the place itself are very hard to find. Located inside a narrow alley of a market and of course space are limited and its extremely busy here soo sometimes you have to que like forever to eat here so i always do take away (even with take away you'll still have to wait for quite a while) But still, for my fellow Indonesian. This place is a must whenever you visit Salatiga. Oh i think the do have another outlet in Semarang.

Ronde terenak sepanjang masa. Langganan dari kecil sampe uda tua kaya sekarang. Harus banget kesini tiap ke salatiga. Yang ga begitu suka rasa jahe bisa pesen yang dicampur kacang. Atau wedang kacang aja yang ga ada rasa jahe nya sama sekali...

Ronde Jago in Salatiga is a must-try culinary experience. Even though it's tucked away in a hidden alley, it's always bustling with customers. What makes their wedang ronde (ginger drink with sweet balls) special is the complex flavor of the broth, which is packed with various condiments. Besides the wedang ronde, you should also try their wedang kacang (peanut drink), batagor (fried meat and tofu on sticks), and tape (fermented cassava). The prices are quite standard. As of December 2024, they still use manual order slips. During peak hours, you might have to wait in line for around 15-30 minutes. The service is good...

It is a very authentic kind of ronde, a traditional drink made from ginger tea and glutinous rice balls. It is so unique because no other ronde is like the one Jago serves. You can taste the freshness of the orange peel sweets, the chrunciness of the roasted peanut and the surprise of the glutinous rice ball filling. A bowl will not be enough. They also offer batagor and other snacks. The place is always full but waiting is worth doing. Going to Salatiga without taking time to Ronde Jago is not enjoying Salatiga indeed. Please make sure you are not queue in at prime time, as it may take you an hour or so...
