Yesterday, while travelling in the heart of Jogyakarta, we stopped by this eatery of Pak Marto. Situated near the palace of the king of Jogya, this small eatery is always full. People regularly stop by Pak Marto to taste his famous Soto Sapi. This dish is like our Pinoy Nilaga, made also with beef and some vegetables. You can eat it on its own or you can also eat it with rice (which I did because I am Pinoy). Soto Sapi comes with a plate of babat goreng, a dish of fried cow innards particularly the rumen. Locals say that a long time ago, Soto Sapi is the food of choice of kings in Jogya. Pak Marto's dishes are really good and not that expensive. The place is clean and orderly, but they only serve Tehbotol, a locally manufactured tea beverage. So, if you're in a royal mood, visit Pak Marto's in Jogya and feel like a king with their Soto Sapi!
