I've been coming to this place for years now. It serves up very traditional Javanese Food Gudeg. The way the Gudeg is served is a little bit different from more traditional Gudeg that is popular in Yogyakarta or Solo. As you can see from the picture I've attached, there's more coconut soup in the plate compared to Gudeg Jogja. At any rate, here's my review of the place:
Place : It's a 'warung' or hawker in the corner of parking space. The place itself is nothing special.
Cleanliness : Average for a warung makan in Semarang. Relatively clean table and utensils in an outdoor environment.
Food: Delicious and on the sweet side of the scale for Gudeg. You can ask for the "sambal goreng" to make it a bit more spicy. If you love to try out different varieties of Gudeng, and there are many, this is a certifiable GO, a must try in Semarang.
Overall: 7/10. Nothing but good eats here, no frills. Arrive way before 3pm if possible because they tend to run out of their daily supply if you are...

Served with a glass of cold/warm orange juice is better. Taste is good, I will definitely come back again. For those whole adored sweet Javanese foods, this may offer another to taste of...

In one portion you will get rice, cooked young jackfruit, shredded chicken, tofu (sometimes), cabbage cooked with coconut milk, hot "krecek" and potato, and "koyor". You can ask for spicy ones too, and you will get their special hot sauce. The price is quite high for locals, but it has...
