At least once a year my parents travel to Central Java for 'pulang kampong' + 'food' pilgrimage (well, they also visit several religious pilgrimage areas...) and they asked me to tag along. It's hard to refuse because I know good local food awaits.... Here's a list of what-to-eat when you're in Semarang :
- Sate Pak Kempleng 1 at Jalan Raya Ungaran (you won't miss it, the billboard is ginormous)
- Soto Bu Nasiri at oldtown Semarang (in front of old Bank Bumi Daya)
- Lekker in front of Loyola
- Nasi ayam in front of Karang Turi High School
- Again, nasi ayam at Simpang Lima (open after 10 pm)
- Tahu petis at M.T Haryono (this one sells fast, so get them before 7pm)
- Ayam Salim at Pringgading
- Nasi pindang at Gajah Mada
- Soto Mbak Lin (used to be at Mataram, last time I heard it moved somewhere...)
- Es Tjong Lik (pasar semawis and mataram) : must get the Lychee and Soursop + durian pieces
I went to Yogya, Semarang and Solo for a batik conquest. I was very impressed with street vendors in Yogya, the artworks were nicely made, affordable and creative. Too bad I didn't bring my camera along that day. I was overwhelmed by printed batik, so I chose boutique-y batik instead and was very happy with what I bought. I wish I can buy some more but my suitcases are full already :(
