Gudeg is one of the typical foods of Jogja. It's not complete without enjoying gudeg when we are visiting Jogja. One of gudeg that is already known by tourists is Gudeg Yu Djum  In the Java language Yu means that  is a call to their older sister and Djum is the name of the owner.

We can find this Gudeg Yu Djum at  Wijilan Street. This place is famous as gudeg center. It is located in the eastern Kraton and only takes about 10 minutes from the city center to arrive at this place. Arriving at this Gudeg Yu Djum we will be greeted with typical acoustic music Jogja which will also accompany us when to eat in that place.

Gudeg  is already chopped young jackfruit. Shredded young jackfruit is then boiled for approximately 24 hours with a mixture of Javanese sugar and other seasonings such as onion, garlic and salt. Usually this gudeg boiled in a large skillet. Skillet is a traditional cookware used by the Java community is made of clay. Cooking gudeg by using skillet made gudeg's taste more delicious. Gudeg can be enjoyed with  eggs, chicken, tofu or tempeh and krecek. Krecek is a cowhide that is cooked with coconut milk, tempeh and other spices for approximately 3 hours and coconut milk started to dry.

Conformity with this Yogya foods characteristic, gudeg  taste is sweet in general. But unlike in general warm feeling, a sense of Gudeg Yu Djum is not too sweet for tourists who come from outside the city of Yogyakarta. Combined with a sense krecek more spicy and more savory. This warm one portion of the price range around Rp 7000 to Rp 30,000 depending on the package that warm us a message.

Besides can be enjoyed on the spot, Gudeg Yu Djum can be used as souvenirs. We can bring home as souvenirs warm using besek or kendil. Besek is made of bamboo matting and kendil whereas Java is a traditional tool made from clay. But if you want to bring gudeg as a gift, gudeg is only lasts for 2 days. If more than it already is not good for eating. We can get gudeg Kendhil with a minimum purchase of Rp 75,000.

If you want to taste the warm we can directly come to Gudeg Yu Djum. This place is open every day from 06:00 until 22:00 o'clock.
