Top five in Yogya: Week 6
by prudence on 26-Mar-2011
1. Searching and bargaining for books in the "Shopping" area on the edge of Taman Pintar -- this is a great place for the bibiophile.
2. Visiting the peaceful 8th-century ruins of Ratu Boko, and eating lunch afterwards at a great fish restaurant near Prambanan.
3. Eating exquisite chilli duck at Quack Quack, just across the road from the Yogyakarta Plaza Hotel.
4. Enjoying yummy stuff in banana leaves -- there's a simple rule here: Indonesian food is delicious; Indonesian food in banana leaves is extra-delicious. This week I had sticky rice in a banana leaf, and a banana leaf parcel containing a magical, slightly smoky mix of coconut and banana -- out of this world.
5. Eating freshly caught fish with an Indonesian family -- a real privilege to be invited into someone's home.
