New Culinary map Solo

Solo culinary map changed again. As I have suspected since a few years ago, slowly but surely, Solo was aligning himself with Yogyakarta as a tourist destination - particularly the culinary tour. Changes and updates are performed Mayor Joko Widodo has become an effective trigger for the dynamics of the culinary map of Solo.
Indeed, there are some who die - like Café Solo and Hughess in Jalan Dr. Rajiman. However, the new grow far more than it lost.
I begin this report with a visit to Soga, a fine-dining restaurant located next to the back of the Museum Batik Danarhadi (also concurrent batik shop and batik production demo) on Jalan Slamet Riyadi.
This restaurant is a side view of Dalem Wuryaningratan building - a house that was bought by owner prince Danarhadi, elegant and beautifully restored. Dalem Wuryaningratan itself is a showcase that need to be visited, and is often used for private events. Last December, Santosa Dullah - Danarhadi owner, who also holds Kanjeng Prince - invited 400 friends to the Dalem Wuryaningratan to celebrate his birthday.
Soga is set up with a beautiful interior architecture and tasteful. Renate, the manager is pretty and graceful, making each guest feel at home for long enjoyed the luxury restaurant. In addition to serving international cuisine Soga also presents Java. What could I taste is a jumble as the appetizer, and rawon fuels as a main course.
Gado-gadonya displayed beautifully. Bean sprouts, long beans, sliced carrots and cabbage wrapped in rolls, so that looks like spring rolls or popiah. After the diagonal cut, doused peanut sauce is legit. Appearance and flavor need thumbs.
Rawon fuel is also unique. This apparently inspired by fried oxtail soup and oxtail soup fuel that is now on the rise. Rawon large slices of meat removed from the broth, then in-grill briefly. Crisp on the outside, mak nyuss in the marinade for a soft and steady infiltration. Kuah rawonnya even praiseworthy.
Apparently, only a few months before the present Soga, a fine-dining restaurant, another is to first brisk Solo culinary horizons. His name Goela Coconuts, located near Manahan Stadium.
Admittedly, in terms of the arrangement of the exterior, interior, as well as table setting, Soga level above Goela Coconut. At the front door Goela Coconut, guests were greeted by a soldier of the Company complete with antique rifles.
The food served was Goela Palm djadoel menu. There is a stew of the tongue which in the past is a special meal at home wealthy families. There pare the sauteed with anchovies. Asemnya Garang was quite authentic, following the Holy gagrak without coconut milk. In fact, the Solo is usually given a little coconut milk tamarind pugnacious, or even added beaten egg.
The presence of these two fine dining restaurant complete the Solo as a world class tourism destination. Unfortunately, Cafe Solo, which preceded his time (avant garde) were missing from the culinary map of Solo. Hopefully the new stretching culinary tour will again raise Solo Cafe Solo near the Flower Market.
New culinary map
In the last visit to Solo, I also find many restaurants and new restaurants. Along the Road R.M. Said, for example, appears several restaurants before selling that I have never seen. One of them is the King Crab. Success King Crab apparently sparked the birth of a seafood restaurant, not far from the King Crab.
Although Solo is located far from the sea, but the seafood was a favorite food. In areas Manahan and along the main road (Jalan Slamet Riyadi), many see the tents seller Lamongan style seafood. Seafood restaurants in Solo is the most famous Miss March
Several species of marine fish has been fried and ground fish, three-quarters cooked, and served at the table in a number that makes people drool. Once ordered, the fish fried again before serving. Milkfish, pomfret, squid, shrimp, catfish, and various types of seafood fried not cease to serve guests who stand in line.
In the "sector" per-crab's, there is Mr. Petruk popular. Open late afternoon, Mr. Petruk crowded customers. King Crab into "sectors" with a more stylish appearance Jakarta - with a sound somewhere more middle class. Meal even more diverse, with a menu featuring a variety of kosher Chinese.
Various crab dishes equivalent to similar restaurants in Jakarta. The most special and unique in the King Crab, I think, is sriping fried. Sriping are scallops, fried in a half shell. Soft-soft tasty! Mak nyuss! No second.
A brand new one in Solo is the presence of several cafe which sells Starbucks coffee franchise model. At first I was surprised when a few years saw a similar store near Manahan. Solo is it a popular place Wedangan lesehan as hik. What might cafes that sell "wedang" will sell?
Apparently, because hik only open at night, then there is a gap that must be filled in during the day. Increasing prosperity also create opportunities for the "coffee" which is more comfortable. Now, by my count, already there are 16 similar cafes (outside Starbucks and Coffee Bean) in all corners of Solo. It seems in tune with the emergence Kopitiam (coffee shop Peranakan style) around Jakarta. Now, even the Killiney Kopitiam in Singapore was already present in Jakarta, when preceded by a local version, such as Lau's Kopitiam, Lay Coffee, Kopitiam Oey, Lie Auntie Kopitiam, and others.
Solo is the fried chicken barn. Start Madukoro fried chicken, Adem Ayem, Mom Better, Kleco, and others. Even the fried chicken from the sellers squat on the Pasar Gede Harjonagoro just absurdly delicious. On the Road Honggowongso, has recently started attending a new restaurant with SREng Kitchen nameplate. Sreng is the sound of something being fried, so we must have a direct association toward fried foods.
Kitchen SREng show something gimmicky. Put forward here is how to fry and burn food in a conveyor belt (conveyor belt). I immediately remembered childhood, when I was amazed to see automatic machine maker donuts in a bakery in Tunjungan Street, Surabaya. Conveyor belt fryer and grill food in the kitchen SREng this is the only one in the world. In-design by the owner who does have mechanical skills.
Penggorengnya engine wear iron baskets hanging from the chain rotates, through the "pool" hot cooking oil. Machine shaped like a toaster, the difference does not use "pool" of cooking oil. In my heart I think, before Kitchen SREng achieve sales volume is high enough, it must be fried very wasteful use of oil.
Fried and baked the chicken and beef Empal with various flavors: cheese, barbecue, and others. I do not expect much when ordering fried chicken Empal grilled cheese and barbeque. I think the gimmick like that is not necessarily supported by the flavor of quality.
I was wrong. Chicken or empalnya mak nyuss! Crew TransTV who was visiting with me, even coming back for a second time to enjoy the fried chicken cheese SREng Kitchen.
One more chicken dishes as an alternative option when visiting the Solo.
