Greetings bye! How many years so we do not meet? When I got down the mountain to write something, definitely special dong. I write this fast should be terminated because of an invitation from (who else but) Mother Pemred. Topic: duck.

Alas, it seems there's never satisfied when we talk about the birds favor this one. So what makes Public Gobek worth fighting? Because uh, because, rumor, this fried duck in Jogja Suroboyo berlanggam original!

Hmmmm, so let's let's check the facts.

Gobek shop open from five o'clock on a page Jembar berpaving block on Jl. Nusa Indah 2, Condong Catur, Yogyakarta. From Market Condong Chess, drove further north approximately 750 m, then the right of the road there berspanduk shop orange tent in the courtyard of a house, well that's him.

I was greeted Mrs. Pemred wrapped batik halter top from the red. Big earrings swayed cheerfully helped accompany laughter. We immediately chose dishes from the counter. I secured a piece of duck breast, the amount of moderate and tempe which is always the favorite.

Mrs. Pemred select bunch intestine (because his intestines were tied with string let not frayed) and a slice Empal. We waited at the table accompanied by a fighter who was busy writing essays as a condition of applying complex as a lecturer (good fight!). On the table there is a woven bamboo besek with two lidded pottery bowl of casting evil aura pandora box.

Shortly fried duck and his friends came to our table. Normal appearance, which is unusual duck broth soup thick yellowish shade in small pottery bowls that helped keep him company. Apparently, this is a legitimate item Public Gobek as fried duck legitimate Suroboyonan in Jogja!

It's so fluid esensialkah this? Let us discuss further.

Duck so tender and juicy. Please remember, not the same savory salty! Savory taste is more hidden. Indulge tongue with a soft and shy.

So what function gravy-secret-weapon-in-the-pottery-bowl-tiny?

"It's for watering the rice or it could be to dye the duck," said Mrs. Pemred explain HOW THE RIGHT use the broth. My curiosity soon brought a tiny bowl to near the mouth for a sip. "Ick, not like that!" Comments sharp + gaze immediately hurled abuse by the mother saw the action which he did not make sense. Oh sorry, Mom!

Taste gravy was thick and very tasty. The most fun way to use is this: tear a little and then dip the duck meat for a long time in the stock until absorbed. The result is amazing! Duck meat to be extra delicious tasty and very juicy!

But this is not the end of the tour of our taste in Public Gobek, absolutely not!

The next surprise stored in two boxes on top pandora besek bamboo which turned out to contain two kinds of sauce. Good news, the Public Gobek our own sauce spooned free! Bold step in this expensive era. To appreciate this kindness, taste some sauces used to measure how strong your resistance against their onslaught. No good wasting lho sauce!

For your leaks, sauce that is darker: The Little Sister The Fallen. Sambal goreng made considerable clucking tongues but still offers a touch of sweetness secuplik that inspires.

While the creamy sauce is: The oldest brother Yang (Oh-Boy-God) Amit-Amit evil! High-octane garlic sauce is definitely not just bite your tongue, but also scratched and tore it up in tatters! At the end you will battle to his knees under his feet, feeling very satisfied.

That is the mystery and contradiction sauce. My analysis, people who like spicy it was masokhis all!

Culinary Adventures in Jejamuran Mushrooms

After several days filled with flesh-meat menu, yesterday afternoon I decided to become a vegetarian. But only at certain times only. Special times like yesterday.

Is not really a very special time that I was willing to lead a vegetarian for a while. The place was a very supportive person to become a vegetarian. Menu-menu specials.

While celebrating farawell small party, I accompanied a friend who was planning to move out of town, deliberately stopped at a restaurant in the area Beran. He promised to show restaurants worth a try on the outskirts of Sleman district. Exactly Niron, Pandowoharjo, Sleman, Yogyakarta. His name Jejamuran.

From the name alone, could be guessed that this restaurant provides menu-based mold. Hm ... what a coincidence, I included a fan of mushrooms. The menu offers a wide range. After picking confused, eventually we greedily ordered Pepes mushrooms, tongseng mushrooms, mushroom satay, fried mushrooms and flour. Do not forget a pack of chips mushrooms. And we were alone.

At first I was scared not be able to spend this fungus, but apparently it was delicious. Eman really to disisakan.

Adventures of the fungus, we begin by Pepes mushrooms a la Sunda. Not too tasty, but it feels quite kenyalnya eggs. Pas. This Pepes using oyster mushroom that looks like a chicken suwir. Flour fried mushrooms, which also use oyster mushrooms, no less delicious. Crispy and tasty.

My friend suggested sate mushrooms. Satay peanut sauce makes it smelled like chicken satay. Only, when noted, there is no sense of chicken. There is only kenyalnya oyster mushrooms.

My final menu is tongseng mushrooms. Very compatible with the atmosphere that afternoon was overcast and drizzle. Not to mention the cold air. Tongseng mushrooms served warm with smoke still rising. Red sauce and tongseng content similar to usual. However, in this tongseng meat could not be found. There, in addition tongseng vegetables, just rice straw mushrooms. Spicy and sweet.

In addition to the menus of our greedy, actually there were a few other menus all using the basic ingredients of mushrooms. Like gudeg mushrooms and mushroom omelette with Shitake mushrooms. Actually we wanted to try all the menu, but the stomach also has limitations

Yag menus unique and interesting. The menu can persuade people to stop by and try. The price was not expensive. For a normal portion (not like us), prices vary slightly, about Rp 5000, - - Rp 10.000, -. The diner is open from 7 am until around 6 pm.
