18.00: Eat like a local

Nothing gives you such a genuine local experience in Yogyakarta like dining at an angkringan or traditional food vendor. As the sun goes down, the city centre will be lined up with erected tents or carts of angkringan. So here’s how it works: tourists can handpick various traditional side dishes set on the cart — different kind of satay (skewer), tofu, tempeh, quail eggs and more. Then the vendor will prepare the dish for you for a really affordable price. Simple as it is, these humble establishments have been a big part of locals’ daily lives and might be a relaxing way to conclude your fun trip in Yogyakarta.
