Yogyakarta is so famous with this cuisine that it’s even named the City of Gudeg. It’s made from young jack fruit among other things, boiled with palm sugar and coconut milk, and added with spices that include garlic, shallot, coriander seed, galangal, bay leaves, and teak leaves.
It’s usually served with white rice, opor chicken, hard-boiled egg, tempeh, and a stew made of crispy beef skins. If you go to Wijilan Street, you’ll see a row of gudeg diners. The one that gets the most buzz is Gudeg Yu Jum. I had brunch there once, and I found it delicious, but I also loved another gudeg, which you can get on Pelekung Wijilan Pandean Street. If they were competing with each other.
