          How to Malioboro? Malioboro street, can be said is a place that must be visited by the tourists. On the sidewalk along this road, you can find an assortment of "necessities" of tourists. Yogyakarta typical souvenirs can be obtained here. However, as a tourist, you should be good at bargain prices.

All items are sold at quite reasonable prices with no bargaining .

          When you hunted T-shirt that read these words and pictures funny, Dagadu products, you can find along the Malioboro. But make no mistake, Dagadu shirt or a really Dagadu products are not sold on the sidewalk. Dagadu original sold in Malioboro Mall. Still in Jalan Malioboro, also available a few stores that provide souvenirs of special food of Yogyakarta. Some stores that provide special food generally sells Geplak Yogyakarta, bakpia Pathuk, and some typical snacks other Yogyakarta and Central Java.

          In this Malioboro street, when the night began before, you will find the bustle of the street food vendors of their wares. Jogja typical cuisine sold there. Some say, to Yogyakarta would be complete without eating a gudeg Jogja and fried pigeon. On this gudeg, you can visited Wijilan existing road near the Keraton, at night and along the way that many sellers are gudeg, there is a named Gudeg Yu Djum, Yu Sri etc.

          Along Malioboro Street generally are present gudeg, boiled eggs, fried chicken, fried pigeon, fried catfish and fried duck. So why not if you do not have time to Wijilan. Other sales that we can meet in Malioboro at night is wedang ronde, ginger-flavored drinks taste and matching hot drink to warm the body.

          In At the end of Jalan Malioboro, before the building Bank Indonesia, you will meet Vredeburg which is also a historic place in Yogya. Visited this place you can find glimpses of its history or just for a moment take pictures

Besides Malioboro Street, Bakmi Kadin located at Jalan Bintaran seems could be the right choice. Cooked on a charcoal-fired stove, dish of noodles, rice noodles, sliced ​​chicken, cabbage and duck eggs.

          Choice of noodles can be fried or boiled noodles, eggs, duck or chicken eggs. Only, to be able to enjoy the Bakmi Kadin, we must have patience enough. Because, the noodles are cooked each one serving. The seller did not cook the noodles large frying pan at once because it would reduce the delicacy of the cuisine.

          After that, you can sit in the "alun-a;un" Yogyakarta city. Here, Besides enjoying the wedang ronde, you can test the luck to pass through two large banyan tree in the middle of "alun-alun". That said, anyone who can get through two banyan tree with eyes closed, his wish would come true. Therefore do not be surprised if in "alun-alun", you meet some people who rent out a blindfold.

          Gudeg which is the food of Jogja, spread in various areas such as in Barek (North UGM), Wijilan and elsewhere. Gudeg Pawon one located at Jalan Janturan.
Gudeg Pawon Open 23:30. there are some long bench like a stalls. The door is still closed.
Not long there not been 30 minutes, the length of the aisle seats and even then began to fill with visitors. One-on-one to arrive. But the door still closed. Coming to 23.30 pm, doors open that too. I was surprised when some visitors who had been sitting on the bench, immediately rushed into the room and stand in line.

          Entered the room with dirt floors and in it there are some large pan placed on top of a burning wood stove. This Gudeg Pawon. Pawon in Javanese means kitchen. So exactly when is named Gudeg Pawon, because serving and to enjoy it done in the kitchen.

          A woman with white hair, took a plate, and preparing orders. A plate of gudeg worth an average of ten thousand rupiahs (depending on toppings).
           Familiar with gudeg sweet, but Gudeg Pawon blends Mbah Prapto Widarso are formulated not as sweet as gudeg Wijilan.

          Advantages that he offers the complete gudeg from the menu, Mbah Prapto is, "If you want to eat gudeg heat, here (Gudeg Pawon)," Another thing that differentiates Gudeg Pawon, you do not get blondo (extract thick coconut milk that taste savory). This is because gudegnya was savory, so no need blondo. "If the gudegnya sweet, there must be blondo."

          No wonder the city of Yogyakarta nicknamed line, because there is a mixture of different and feel warm. Coming to the early days, visitors continue to fulfill the seller's gudeg kitchen

          Oh yes, little tips from me, get a friend who already knows jogja and certainly can speak Javanese. Most sellers here the majority of Javanese people. Due to avoid being deceived with the of goods you buy. Hopefully these tips useful for those of you who want a leisurely stroll in the city streets, especially in Malioboro Yogyakarta as an offering of sweet songs of Katon Bagaskara
