Ada cerita lucu dibalik nama presto yang disematkan sebagai nama dagang bandeng khas semarang ini. Awalnya kata “Presto” sendiri berasal dari bahasa Italia yang memiliki arti “Cepat”, tapi dalam konteks orang Indonesia pada umumnya dan orang Semarang pada khususnya ini, lebih merujuk kearah merek panci masak bertekanan tinggi bernama “presto”— sebuah panci masak bertekanan tinggi pertama yang laku keras di pasaran Indonesa. Suatu salah kaprah (sebuah kesalahan yang disadari) khas orang Jawa yang sering menyebut suatu barang / benda dengan menyebut nama mereknya.  Bandeng presto ini diolah dengan cara deep frying atau di panggang dalam oven dan satu lagi, tidak ada bahan pengawet yang digunakan didalamnya. Hanya dengan sebuah kemasan kedap udara cukup untuk membuat ikan tersebut tahan 6 bulan sampai I tahun dalam lemari pendingin tanpa mengurangi nutrisi dan kesegarannya.

Para turis seringkali membeli bandeng presto untuk dijadikan oleh – oleh. Harga dari bandeng presto pun bisa dibilang tidaklah mahal, selain praktis, tetapi rasanya pun lezat dan kita bisa memakan semua bagian dari ikan bandeng itu, bahkan durinya pun bisa kita makan. Tempat yang paling terkenal untuk mencari bandeng presto yang gurih dan nikmat ada di Jl. Pandanaran. Di sepanjang jalan itu banyak toko-toko yang menyajikan berbagai macam makanan khas kota Semarang termasuk bandeng Presto. Harga yang dipatok untuk bervariasi, tapi biasanya rata-rata antara Rp. 35.000,- s/d Rp. 40.000,- per kilonya. Tempat penjualan bandeng presto ini juga menyediakan yang dipepes, otak-otak, dipanggang ataupun digoreng kremes. Untuk banding presto biasa cara memasaknya cukup digoreng dengan memakai minyak panas.

As the capital of Indonesia from 1946 until 1950 (just after the independence of the country), Jogja has long been regarded as the cradle of traditional Javanese culture. The soul of the city is the Sultan’s Palace (Keraton), which is responsible for nurturing the traditional culture starting from batik, balet, music, poetry until puppet shows. The streets nearby Keraton house some of the most talented artisans in Jogja. Here, you can watch master craftsmen at work in their studios and showrooms – like living museums, these workshops offer exclusive insights into the history and practice of Jogja’s traditional arts.

The most identical item to the city is Batik. Batik is a type of traditional cloth that is manually designed by hand using wax-resist dyeing technique. The most famous is Silk Batik. A single original batik cloth can take months to produce. Each original Batik pieces have unique patterns, distinguishing one from another.  But today, due to modern advances in the textile industry, Batik has been extended to include fabrics which incorporate traditional batik patterns even if they are not produced using the wax-resist dyeing techniques. Despite that, there are still many original Batik makers around Yogyakarta.

Similar to the Batik, Jogja’s silversmith crafts items with skill and patience. The center of the silverware industry in Jogja is Kotagede. Here, you can watch the silversmiths as they show you how silver is made from its raw material until it is forged into beautiful jewelry. Buying a piece of locally made jewelry or Batik or other traditional products that is sold all over the city, can provide enduring souvenirs of this region’s rich artistic traditions.

While the city life has its charm, it’s hard not to get lost in the romance of Jogja’s history at one of the World Heritage site , Prambanan – a series of majestic Hindu temples dating from the 10^th century, just 20 minutes of drive east of downtown Yogyakarta. Families picnic under overgrown bushes of blindingly pink bougainvillea and tourists race to get the best photo opportunities of the majestic stone buildings. On several occasions, your visit can end at the park’s open-air theatre, where the Ramayana (an ancient Hindu epic) Ballet Performance takes place.

Slightly further afield, dozens of smaller temples dot the countryside, amidst endless terraced rice fields and palm trees that grow under the shadows of the region’s volcanic peaks. Set over 2,000 square meters, the intricate Buddhist buildings, stupas and shrines of Candi Plaosan are a prime example. When visiting this site, you shall feel something incredibly soul satisfying, sitting in the shade of these 9^th century monuments, enveloped by silence, knowing you may be one of the only people to admire them that day.

The region’s other World Heritage site is Borobudur, which is about 40 kilometers outside of Yogyakarta. Borobudur is Indonesia’s single most visited site and the world’s largest Buddhist monument.  Borobudur enjoys a surreal setting atop a small plateau, surrounded by jungle and flanked by a pair of active volcanoes. The temple itself dates from the 9^th century and comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platrforms, each adorned with 2,672 intricate bas reliefs and more than 500 Buddha statues. Escape the crowds and visit at dawn – as the sun lifts the mist off the jungle, you’ll be guaranteed to experience one of those “so this is what it means to be alive” moments.

In the far north of Yogyakarta, stands the glorious Mount Merapi with a glow of its own. Merapi is one of Indonesia’s most active volcano. It has erupted 68 times since 1548, but still manages to attract curious tourists to its lava lakes and sulfuric smoke. The slopes of the mountain are dotted with ancient Buddhists and Hindu shrines: the western slopes are particularly alluring thanks to the Sengi Complex which dates back to the 8^th century and is carved with dazzling motifs of climbing plants and flowers, reminiscent of the surrounding scenery.

An even more pleasant spot to enjoy the scenery is from the Torunda Bar at Amanjiwo, a stunning 34-villa resort on the outskirts of Borobudur. Set among verdant rice terraces and palm trees overlooking jade green paddy fields and the distant peaks of Merapi and Merbabu, the resort takes its design cues from the Buddhist monument it overlooks, with circular limestone buildings, soaring bell-shaped rotundas and an amphitheatre-style pool. The suites themselves come with four poster beds, terrazzo floors, and furniture that’s been hand carved from coconut wood.  All rooms have a private garden terrace and some feature individual plunge pools. Staying here, you’ll begin to understand what it might be like to be a Javanese royal member.

Like many wellness centers in Central Java, treatments in Jogja’s spas are inspired by ancient Javanese rituals. Here, jamu, or traditioinal Indonesian herb, is alive and well, and can be sampled in everything from herbal elixirs, said to cure migraines or hypertension, to body scrubs and wraps and traditional Javanese massage.

Jogja’s cuisine is also a complex collection of influences. Menus across town alternate between much-loved royal dishes, to traditional snacks. Jogja is particularly famous for its sweets. While bite-size snacks like kipo, or green colored tapioca filled with coconut, make an obvious dessert, local dishes like gudeg, a curry of jackfruit, chicken and egg is more surprising, with its distinctive sugary overtones thanks to generous dash of palm sugar.

No visit to Jogja would be complete without sampling the local freshwater fish, called gurame, which is similar in taste to barramundi and is farmed in lakes across Central Java. Then be sure to wash down your meal with a mug of strong sweet Javanese coffee. Established by the Dutch in the 17^th century, the coffee farms around Jogja produce both Arabica and Robusta coffee. Many still offer site tours, allowing you to purchase fresh beans, right at their source, and offering you the chance to take home another cup of classic Java, home grown in Jogja.
