Following the trip in Solo where we were fed systematically - ie. arranged -,
it's finally free & easy at neighbouring Yogyakarta (or Jogjakarta). Though I didn't get to taste the seductively sweet Es Dawet (dessert with fruits), the famed gudec that locals talk about didn't elude me anymore.
Eaten with the fragrant coconut milk-flavoured rice, gudec is a strangely indefinable taste of short young jackfruit strips cooked in a sweet paste. You can choose to eat it with servings of chicken or cow skin - yes, you heard me right.... the skin of a cow tempered to a sparse sponge-like texture hardened slightly to hint of a crispiness on the surface...
Recommended , even for Europeans, if only to get a taste of how different tastes in servings of different foods can be blended into a nice whole...
