On Jl Padma Utara within the area of Niksoma/Adika Sari/Fairy shop and heading either North or South, I have noticed that the prices of standard Indo meals are very much the same pricing.As in the Nasi goreng/mie kuah meals being Rp35,000 along the way. I have been to some old favourites, which have been endorsed on BTF, and some new. My views:
in 7 years going to Warung Yogya-doubt if I'll go back.
It seems they have made 'that book-you know the one-'that book' which is a scourge to traveling and hence, prices UP,standards DOWN.
Warung Asia, on recommendations here: on the bill was 2 bintangs-not ordered-not drunk.Bill was fixed to remove beer and add the 2 small water we did drink.2 small water=Rp14,000...a bit rich!!
The Thai green chicken curry@Rp55,000:tasty,generous chicken,with only green beans as the veges thrown in.wont order again.
Found some great newies perhaps not mentioned here and much cheaper prices than 'the fixed prices' mentioned in my heading.
Give these a try:
MQ waroeng, opposite the fairy shop-wonderful food,great friendly service and cheaper.
Je-je restaurant-above where the original bamboo corner was on Padma Utama.Opposite The 4seasons.Rp14,000 bintangs all day, cheaper food,very good food,very airy and relaxing upstairs.
