Our short trip to Yogyakarta and I've decided for the Hotel Tentrem. This is a great hotel that we've enjoyed the combined Asian & Continental Breakfast, the executive lounge, the swimming pool, the gym and especially the friendliness of the staffs. This is a luxurious backpacking trip that we think that it's worthwhile being compared to the relaxation that we've had.
Too hungry yet we've been too lazy to walk around that we've decided to dine-in at the Kayu Manis Coffee Shop that is located at the LG floor. No idea that why the coffee shop is named Kayu Manis or it means also Cinnamon. We've ordered the Classic Italian Pizza and the Gudeg Kayu Manis. The Pizza is topped with Salami, anchovies, capsicum, olive, onion and both the Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Other than the base that is edible and as crispy as a cracker, the Pizza is so not authentic and it's definitely not a tasty one! Gudeg is a signature dish from Yogya that consists of Opor Ayam or chicken that is cooked with coconut milk, young unripe jack fruit that has been well-cooked with palm sugar and coconut milk that it turns soft and brownish, hard-boiled egg and the Sambal Krecek or the crisp beef skins. Gudeg is a sweet dish as there has been a plenty of coconut milk inside the platter. The jack fruit is an amazing experience for me as it tastes really special and it's indeed delicious. Besides, I like also the steamed rice that contains a nice aroma of the banana leaf. The chicken meat is tender and tasty yet the sauce is slightly too creamy that it's actually quite filling. A little scary part for me is the chicken claw that is served together with the drumstick.
Despite being stopped from taking pictures of the hotel's property, I've still insisted to snapshot our food. I hope that this is not a violation that I'll be sued...
