Nanamia Pizzeria

We can find many kinds of pizza here. They serve pizza like the true Italian. All this time, the popular franchised pizza restaurant - with initials P.I.Z.Z.A.H.U.T - make us eat thick bread with various topping and crust. But, Nanamia offers you crispy thin bread with thick layered topping. The price is cheaper than Pizza Hut though. I guess Nanamia has been people's sweetheart here in Yogyakarta, especially for those who love Italian food. The menu is not merely pizza. We can also take lasagna, pasta, or dessert menu like salad, mousse, tiramisu, etc.

Pasta Gio

Pasta Gio is an Italian restaurant located in remote area. Even our father, who knows Jogja like the palm of his hand, had difficulties finding the place. Nevertheless, it seems like the restaurant is never running out of customers. I don't know how they could promote it so well.

So, here is the hint. If you start from Jl. Palagan, find T-intersection that leads to Jimbaran Restaurant, go straight until you find intersection, then turn right. When you see "Kumala Hadi" accountant office, then it's time for you to slow down your vehicle. On the left side of the street, you'll meet an alley with red paper lantern (if it's not removed). After you enter the alley, you'll find Pasta Gio right away.

Dae Jang Geum Restaurant

The first time we came to this Korean restaurant was with our family. We picked the tatami room instead of the hall and gazebo. The price is ranged from 10K - 250K rupiah. The most expensive meal goes to... ogolgyetang (ayam cemani ginseng). As easily guessed, we didn't take it. I forgot what exactly we ate back then. I could only recall kimchi that is free served, tteokpokki (spicy rice cake), doenjang jjigae (bean paste pot stew), katsu, noodle and this food that tastes like toe. Maybe that's why my brain tried so hard to forget it. (^_^)v

We're so sad that we can't enjoy Korean food. How are we supposed to live in the country of uri nampyeon?? (T___T)

Silla Korean-Chinese Restaurant

It's located in northern ring road, next to Happy Puppy. We came here once in a while, mainly on special occasions. Well, we don't do it daily simply because it may rip off our pocket, for heaven's sake! (-_-);

It offers a great number of foreign cuisine from Japan, Korea, and China with a cozy interior. The price ranges from 25 K up to 200s K.

Customers are able to choose whether they want to eat inside or outside tatami. The first time we went to Silla, there is this big tree in the middle of the room that looks really nice. But when we came for the second time, it disappears... I'm not sure why. Maybe some random carpenters passed by and cut down the tree.

About the menu? Hmm... tough question! You may be distracted by so many foreign names listed on the menu. But don't be confused, my friend... you can always ask the waitress before you make your order (you don't want to bet on the wrong food right?). Douzo... dipileh... dipileeh... (^_-)

aSaGaYa

(we don't try to be 4LaY when we write this)

This restaurant has just opened recently on Jl. Kaliurang km 5 with a very seductive banner decorated by provocative tagline, "HARGA MAHASISWA." OMG, I just realize that I'm so cheap. Hahaha. Honestly, aSaGaYa is not as cheap as Nagoya and Sapporo. Still affordable though. The average price is 18K.

There hasn't been so much to tell about aSaGaYa for I just ate here once with kareshi. The menu is not as complete as the other restaurant yet, maybe because of newcomer-thing.
