A food lover's trail through Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta is the cultural capital of Java, and its food tells the city's story.

Gudeg

Young jackfruit slow-cooked in palm sugar and coconut milk. Try it for breakfast at the stalls around Wijilan.

Bakpia Pathok

Small pastries filled with mung bean, chocolate, or cheese. They make the perfect gift to take home.

Angkringan

Street carts serving nasi kucing, satay skewers, and kopi joss, coffee served with a piece of hot charcoal. Head near Tugu Station at night.

Pair it with culture

Combine your food trail with a sunrise trip to Borobudur and an evening walk on Malioboro Street.
