Lombok Ijo Sego Abang

In my opinion, this was the best place in our culinary tour around Jogja and I'll tell you why so please keep reading.... Warung Makan Lombok Ijo Sego Abang is located in Jl. Pakem Turi KM 1, about one hour drive from Jogja. We arrived around 12.30 pm on a Sunday. Although the place was full, the service was very good and relatively quick. In just few minutes, sego abang (brown rice), lombok ijo (with appearance like lodeh), fried chicken, liver, tofu and tempe (baceman ayam, ati ayam, tahu dan tempe) were served in front of us. Also, daun papaya cooked with coconut milk and trancam (just like karedok, but more sweet).

I started to put some rice which was still warm to my plate. I took a piece of chicken and tofu and I poured my rice with sayur lombok ijo and some daun pepaya. It was hard to describe how delicious it was! The combination was perfect and as an added value, it was also healthy food since the brown rice got an organic certification (meaning grown naturally without fertilizer). Javanese people will say "sedep" which describes that the food was very good. We had teh poci with gula batu for drinks; we also had some kripik and getuk for appetizer and we paid Rp 100 K for 4 people. All felt like we were in heaven that day...... :)
