This is part three of my visit to Jogja, you can read the part one and part two
One of the culinary that you should try in Jogja is Gudek… and the most legendary gudek is Gudek Yu-Jum, the name of the late owner. You may not like it, but this is a staple food for Jogjakartan… There are many brands of gudek available even Gudek Yu Jum is also have few outlets across Jogja. I was lucky to go to the very first and original outlet to see how they make the tasty Gudek…
If you see this mural… you are in the right outlet.. the original and the first outlet of Yu Jum Gudek… here is where they cook all the ingredients
Preparing the humble Gudek
Every day they need 600 Chicken and 4.000 eggs
Traditional, log fueled stove to cook Gudek. Slow cook guarantee all the spices evendly absorbed
One dedicated corner to prepare raw chicken before cooking
Chicken is then cooked inside this container… again slow cook is necessary
After cooked, chicken meat is laid out and spread evenly in the pan by the tattoo man
Cooking the chicken for the second time, before ready to eat
dedicated person just to prepare the banana leaf later it will be the plate for eating gudek
Tipical serving Gudek… Bonapetit
Here is the late Yu-Jum… up close and personal.. :)
Jakarta 22 minutes after midnight… can’t sleep… to late to say good night… too late to say anything…
