Bored with the same chicken menu? It’s time for you to try Ingkung Tenong, a typical Javanese free-range chicken dish that is rich in spices and cooked traditionally. You can find this legendary culinary delight in a food stall in Sambikerep Hamlet, Bangunjiwo, Kasihan, Bantul.
Ingkung Tenong is served complete in a bamboo bowl, filled with savory rice, tender whole free-range chicken, stir-fried papaya leaves, fried tempeh, fresh vegetables, and three kinds of special chili sauce. The combination of traditional spices such as palm sugar, galangal, ginger, onions, lemongrass, coriander and bay leaves makes the taste of this dish richer and more appetizing.
The process of cooking Ingkung Tenong is very unique. A whole free-range chicken is cooked for one hour using a wood stove, so that the meat becomes more tender and the aroma of the spices is perfectly absorbed. This traditional cooking process makes Ingkung Tenong have a unique taste that is difficult to find anywhere else.
One portion of Ingkung Tenong is priced at IDR 145,000 and is enough for 3-4 people to enjoy. Even though the price is relatively premium, the taste and large portion make this dish really worth trying.
If you are visiting Yogyakarta, don’t miss the opportunity to taste Ingkung Tenong. Guaranteed, you will be addicted to its deliciousness!
