I’m finally back in Jakarta after a whirlwind three days trip to my dad’s hometown. Central Java where my dad’s from, is a serious foodie place. My dad is a serious foodie, apples don’t fall far from the tree. Anyway, we went to his hometown, Semarang and did a quick road trip to Yogyakarta and Solo. Here are a quick photo-log, food summaries let say of everything we ate…
Nasi Goreng Babat “Pak Karmin” – Fried Rice with beef stomach, bizzare but delicious
Nasi Ayam “Ibu Wido” – Traditional Chicken Rice
Sate Sapi dan Lontong “Pak Kempleng” -Beef Satay and Rice Cakes
