Culinary :: Soto Sokaraja

Soto is famous Indonesian traditional soup. And different city, has different taste and specialities. This time, it is named Soto Sokaraja, from Sokaraja, Banyumas Regency, Central Java.

It has different taste because there's peanut sauce in there. And you can choose to use Lontong or Rice. I like to eat it with Lontong. It delicious, and taste sweet.

There's a new restaurant in Yogyakarta. It's Maystar, which very famous in Jakarta. I have been there once (Jakarta Branch), but that time, my relatives invite us for breakfast dimsum.

Now, we try the once that just opened in Yogyakarta, because there's discount 30%.

My cousin, who has been there, choose the menu. And because we are 14 people, we need 2 table, and 2 pcs of every menu. And we choose medium size.

Lunch Bulgogi Jungol / Korean Marinated Beef > Gyeongju, South Korea > Day 04 (2) - 2014 October 11 (Busan, Gyeongju, Seoul, Daegwallyeong, Nami Island, Mt Seorak, Kuala Lumpur)

When we arrived at Bulguksa Temple, it's already noon. So we decided to eat lunch first. There's so many local restaurant nearby, and some of ahjumma give you a pamphlet with their restaurant menu. So becareful, once you take the pamphlet, ahjumma will calling you times to times as long as you are still in there. But for polite, just take the pamphlet and smile. Just pretend that you don't know what they talking about if you didn't want to eat in their restaurant.

This street located in front of Bulguksa Car Parking, there's a lot of restaurant along this street.

We found Bulgogi restaurant and decided to eat Bulgogi. We have to order 2 portion minimum for 1 menu. I'm not understand why maybe because 1 portion of food is very little and the bowl or plate is designed for 2 portion. So they will serve the 2 portion become one bowl/plate. There's also the side dish.

2 portion of Bulgogi Jungol in 1 plate

It's yummy. It's really different from what I ate outside Korea. And I really love the soup. It's refreshing. Especially in cold autumn or winter.

Actually, eating in South Korea is quiet expensive (for me).

One portion of bulgogi Jungol cost 15.000 won (1 portion of bulgogi, 1 rice and 1 set of side dish). And we have to buy minimum 2 portion, so it cost 30.000 won (2 portion bulgogi, 2 rice, and set of side dish). Then we add another bowl of rice for 1.000 won, so for this lunch, we spent 31.000 won.
The exchange rate in Indonesia, approximately 12,3 won at that time. So we spent IDR 381.300 for 3 people.

Wow... That's why I spent more money in eating. And 2 portion, is really much.
