Alun-Alun Selatan Yogyakarta

Alun-Alun Kidul Keraton Jogja

Kali ini saya ingin share tentang tempat wisata malam yang cukup seru di Yogyakarta. Di sini bisa merasakan suasana asri dan teduh ala jogja, dengan mencoba berbagai macam makanan kaki lima yang enak.

Alun-alun Kidul is a favorite hangout for locals in Yogyakarta, it's open during night time. There's plenty of street food to be sampled and fun games around.

Beberapa penjaja makanan di sini ada yang menjual sate, bakso, pisang goreng, dan ronde seperti foto di atas.

Ada juga yang menjajakan mie instan, tapi kalau sudah susah-susah jalan keluar, rasanya mending nyoba makanan lain deh daripada mie instan.

There's some street food vendor, selling Satay, Bakso, Grilled Banana and Ronde like this stall that we visited.

Plenty of stall also sells instant noodle too, but if you've put up an effort to go out and have fun, best to try other food and leave the instant noodle for those dire hunger pang on the wee hours.

Karena malam itu sudah makan di tempat lain, kita memilih untuk mencicipi snack saja, ada Ronde, Angsle, Jagung & Pisang Bakar

Since we've had dinner, we opted for some snack and desserts. We tried the Ronde, Angsle, Grilled Corn on the cob and Grilled Banana.

Tempat ini dijaga oleh suami istri, dan mereka cukup kompak. Bapaknya sigap meramu ronde dan angsle, sedangkan ibunya menyiapkan jagung dan pisang bakar.

This stall was run by a couple. The husband serves up the dessert of Angsle and Ronde while the lady here grilled our order of banana and corn.

The Famous Banyan Tree

Di alun-alun ini ada pohon beringin besar dua buah yang terkenal. Pengunjung bisa mencoba tantangan untuk berjalan sekitar 100 meter ke arah beringin ini, sambil ditutup matanya dan berusaha untuk tetap berjalan lurus di antara dua pohon ini.

In this court yard, there's two huge banyan tree which is the landmark of the area. Visitor can try the challange of crossing this huge tree blind-folded, whilst trying to stay on course to get pass the trees and between them.

Konon kalau bisa melewati dua pohon ini, harapan yang diinginkan bisa terkabul. Malam itu banyak yang mencoba melewatinya, tapi hanya sedikit sekali yang bisa tetap di tengah, kebanyakan miring ke arah luar :D

The legend said that whoever can pass this two trees, will have their wishes granted. That night there's plenty of people trying it, but only a very few managed to complete it.
