Mbah Jingkrak

Mbak Jingkrak serves Indonesian cuisine. This restaurant has a unique name of menus, such as "Pitik Rambut Setan" ("chicken with devil's hair" – fried chicken mixed with spices and spicy green chili-like hair), very spicy Ayam Wewe, and Teri Buto Ijo. They also serve Indonesian herbs drink, such as "kunir asem" (a drink made from tamarind and turmeric), "beras kencur" (galangal rice), and many more.

In this restaurant, guests are to pick their choice of food from the shelves by themselves (buffet-style) and will then be cooked by the chef, as guests’ preference: grilled, fried, or else. The name of "Mbak Jingkrak" itself was picked to describe how their hot and spicy dishes will make their guests "jumping up and down" (one of a few ways of Indonesians' expression after eating hot and spicy food. Jingkrak literary means jumping up and down in Bahasa Indonesia).
