My family comes from Yogyakarta. The food typical of Yogyakarta is Gudeg, Bapkpia, Yangko, Tiwul, Getuk, Geplak, etc. November last year I went to yogyakarta with my family. Home of Yogyakarta I bought Bakpia and Yangko. Food that i most like is Gudeg.

            Gudeg has been known by the people of Indonesia, especially as the typical food from Yogyakarta. Gudeg is a regional food of Yogyakarta and Central Java which is made from young jackfruit cooked with coconut milk. It took many hours to make this dish. Brown color is usually produced by teak leaves are cooked together. Gudeg is eaten with rice and served with thick coconut milk (white), free-range chicken, eggs, tofu and sambal goreng krecek. Initially Gudeg known by the people of Indonesia is “Gudeg Basah”. As time went by, Gudeg to by the also be “Gudeg Kering”. The difference is, Gudeg Basah just need a little bit of coconut milk. While Gudeg Basah using more coconut milk.

            Until nw this has not yet been clarified on the history of gudeg. Some views relating gudeg as food from the Kraton Yogyakarta. While others believe that gudeg has long existed since the attacking to Batavia in 1726-1728 by Sultan Agung in history, althought it has not been proven the truth.

            My family really like gudeg. Yesterday, my mom cooking gudeg. The cooked is Gudeg Basah with Sambal Krecek. I went to college when my sister was eating gudeg. Then I eating gudeg with my sister. With the sweet taste Gudeg is the food my favorite.
