that have been preserved and still in use to date.
About Jogja, what's really astonishing is…
when you enter the city, you'll notice a different ambience and atmosphere.
Ah, this is Jogja.
And it was very pleasant. Something different. Very cultured.
It's always fun to see a region,
where customs or traditions are still widely practiced.
I once visited Jogja with a good friend.
And we explored it thoroughly. We looked like tourists here.
We explored the usual tourist spots.
We went sightseeing in Malioboro and rode becak,
enjoyed some very eye-pleasing sites.
We tasted the cuisine.
We can say that this city is culturally rich.
For the art lovers, this city is kind of artsy.
It has its own artistic impression.
Yogyakarta Sultanate is more than just a place.
This city protects Javanese cultural heritage
down to its roots.
Despite being in place for centuries, its allure has never faded,
from its rousing markets, heartfelt chats at angkringan,
captivating cultures,
and as a real gastronomic destination in this country.
Yogyakarta's cuisine has a long history dating back thousands of years.
This story of taste is evident in every bite of dishes in Bale Raos,
an eatery with the mission of preserving Yogyakarta Sultanate's culinary heritage
from time to time.
Hello, Chef Juna and Chef Renatta.
- How are you all doing? - Everything's good.
Thank you for visiting Bale Raos.
I've wanted to come here for a long time, but I had my plate full. Now I'm here.
- It's my first visit. - Thank you.
- It's so famous, though. - Well, thank you.
Bale Raos is generally located in the Palace of Yogyakarta.
Each building or room here has a name.
It's called Bale, Gedong, and so on.
In Javanese, "bale" refers to "place," while "raos" means "flavor."
So "bale raos" means "a place to savor the flavor."
It's not just the flavor of the food, but also the atmosphere and aura.
and so on.
Bale Raos is a place to enjoy fine dining.
Bale Raos is located in the Jogjakarta Palace complex.
It's in one of the assets or buildings
in the Palace of Yogyakarta,
which is then renovated and used for public purposes. That's all.
Bale Raos did not open
for business reasons at first.
Its mission is to preserve cuisines
that exist in the vicinity of the Palace of Yogyakarta.
We found that preservation
is more than just documentation or exhibition, as in a museum.
However, we believe that preservation,
especially because it is food,
should be enjoyed by people or coexist with them.
That's why Bale Raos exists.
Bale Raos was established on the initiative of GKR Hemas,
the Queen Consort of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X
who is currently reigning,
and the late KGPH Hadiwinoto,
a younger biological brother of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X.
He believed that cuisines in Yogyakarta Palace
were diverse,
including drinks, snacks, main courses,
and desserts. There are so many of them.
The point is that we want to elevate traditional food's image
to an international level.
This is what we do for traditional foods
to be able to compete with other cuisines from other countries.
I see.
- What do you want to eat? - I'm exciting to have ones
we've never tasted before. There must be a lot here.
Sure. We'll serve them for you.
For the main course, you'll have a truly traditional Javanese dish.
and some with a touch of acculturation.
- Okay. - And the dessert as well.
- Nice. - And the drink, too.
- Okay. Shall we begin? - Let's get started.
- Sure. - I can't wait.
This is…
one of…
the creations of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono VIII.
He invented this drink in the early 1900s.
We can say that this drink
is a kind of gastrodiplomacy.
- Gastrodiplomacy? - Yes.
This is called Javanese beer.
- Javanese beer. - Okay.
- Is it from ginger? - Yes.
Javanese beer is a non-alcoholic drink made with herbs.
Is it called beer because it has foams and golden color?
Yes. And the story goes that Sultan Hamengkubuwono VIII
hosted many dinner parties for Dutch guests
during the colonial era.
He used to throw a big party
with 100 or more guests.
Of course, the Dutch guests drink alcoholic beverages.
That's the first point. As for the abdi dalem or the local guests,
they did not drink alcohols.
The second is if everyone drinks beer, it would be…
Beer was pricey back then.
He then created this drink to respect the guests.
They wouldn't know it wasn't beer unless they tried it first.
That's his hospitality.
Now, the main course.
- Main course. - Yes.
- What is this? - This is the so-called gecok ganem.
- Okay. - The taste is authentically Javanese.
Gecok ganem is a meatball-like dish made with minced meat,
but the broth is made of coconut milk.
It's similar to what most people are familiar with, namely garang asem.
If garang asem is made with chicken, gecok ganem is made with minced meat.
The dish lives on in our memories because it's always served in our family.
It's also a favorite dish of Hamengkubuwono VII and VIII.
which may explain why our family have it.
It's easier for us to bring it forth as we've been familiar with its taste
over 50 years ago.
The taste memories we have from a long time ago
help us to create the authentic flavor.
- It's delicious. - Very good.
- It's light. - Yes, it is.
- It's tasty. - It's creamy as well.
When you bite it, the bilimbi kicks in.
Every dish we had was delicious,
but my personal favorite was the gecok ganom
because it's very light.
It's creamy because of the coconut milk, and its quality is truly highlighted
without being too heavy and keeps the flavor light.
There's also bilimbi, which adds freshness to it.
It was a really good dish.
This one is known as sanggar.
- Sanggar? - Yes. Sanggar.
- Sanggar is… -What's it made of?
It's grilled sliced beef, seasoned with herbs and spices.
When it's grilled, it's coated with thick coconut milk.
- Okay. - Yes.
This is one of the creations
of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX.
This is what I meant by "bebek suwar-suwir".
This one was inspired by the Dutch phrase "zwaart zuur,"
"sweet and sour, but pronounced "suwar suwir" in Javanese.
- I see. - Isn't that so?
Some of these foods
were indeed named by Sri Sultan himself.
The late Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX really loved cooking.
And suwar-suwir was created by him
and a Dutch cook in the Palace. [inaudible]
As Indonesia has 34 provinces,
each of which has more than one ethnic group,
so the types of food
would surely exceed that number.
Well, in my opinion,
Indonesia has a diverse range of cuisines,
but they have yet to go international.
Indeed, they must be introduced
particularly for those who are currently undertaking…
Collecting data on Indonesian foods with the potentials to go global is vital.
Aside from well-known foods,
some cuisines
have been influenced by Western acculturation,
especially Dutch and British dishes.
We acknowledge it because, in the era
of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono VII and VIII or in the 1900s,
the foods and methods of serving dishes
had been influenced by the Western culture.
However, the flavor was still adjusted to the Javanese palate.
The sauce is made with ambarella.
- Ambarella? - That's interesting.
- It makes the taste sweet and sour. - Exactly.
- May I try it? - Go ahead.
- Is this suwar-suwir? - Yes.
Grated ambarella, right?
Yes. Just grate the ambarella and add herbs like cinnamon and cloves.
The duck meat is braised or "ungkep" in Javanese.
Yes, it's braised.
After that, you can serve it.
The Sultan usually enjoys it with sliced pineapple.
This clearly reflects the Western culture.
- What about this one? - This is sanggar.
It's been around since the reign of Hamengkubuwono VII.
The dish has existed since the 19th century.
- It's been clipped. - Yes, gripped tight.
The green bean is used to lock the bamboo clips.
Good.
It's really…
It's very tasty. Flavorful.
- It's rich, sweet and savory. - Even to the inside of it.
The heated coconut milk marinade is what makes it savory, isn't it?
It just looked like flat meat.
We didn't expect much. But when we tasted it,
it was tender, if still slightly textured, and very flavorful.
When we talk about how many Palace cuisines
can we already serve in Bale Raos,
the number or percentage
is around 70 to 80 percent.
The number of cuisines in the Yogyakarta Palace
are more than 100 items.
However, many Yogyakarta Palace cuisines
have yet to be served in Bale Raos,
because there are special dishes made for ritual purposes.
- I'll finish the meat, okay? - Sure.
The Palace's banquet dishes are mostly meat-based.
Fish-based cuisine is very rare here.
- It could be due to geographic location. - Yes.
- Yes, I seldom hear about it. - Well, There is one, "mangut lele."
- I see. - It's not common here.
Since Jogja is not a coastal city,
fish is very rarely consumed.
However, community awareness has grown recently.
They are aware that fish contains vitamins that are needed for…
We are a non-coastal community. We rarely consume fish,
except for river or lake fish.
- Freshwater fish. - Exactly.
Jogja already has fish production centers in one of a coastal area in Gunung Kidul
and Parangtritis,
which are well-known for their fishfolks.
After this we… Are we having dessert now?
- Yes -This is what I've been waiting for.
- Okay. - It's intriguing because I'm curious
of the history of this Palace's cuisine.
This is our dessert.
- Are those melinjo chips? - Nice, isn't it?
- Interesting. - It's called manuknom.
Manuknom?
- Does "manuk" mean "bird"? - Correct.
"Nom" means young. "Manuknom" is "young bird."
- Because it has wings? - I guess so.
Oh, we've got the beak. Cool.
- Okay. - This one is unique.
This was a dessert during the reign of Hamengkubuwono VII.
Okay.
However, during the era of Hamengkubuwono VIII
he enjoyed this as an appetizer.
- It's an in-between dish. - As you see.
- Why is emping served with it? - Tell me.
For the Javanese, "emping" serves as a spoon as well.
- I see. - For scooping.
- It's for scooping the dish. - Yes, just like that.
Come on, let's eat.
Manuknom is entirely made
with eggs, milk, and green sticky rice tapai.
It's akin to custard, no?
They're almost identical.
- Custard with sticky rice. - Yes.
How long has it been around?
Since the 1890s.
- Is that so? - It is.
However, the shape of the dish…
"Manuknom" doesn't refer to its shape, but to its texture.
A newly hatched bird
has a delicate texture and the color looks like this.
In addition, the dish is served in a glass bowl
and they simply scoop it from there.
- That's it. - I see.
And now, during the reign of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X,
this dish is commonly served as a dessert
That's about it.
Bale Raos is very interesting because of its various menu,
and after speaking with Sumartoyo…
He shared a lot of stories too.
Not all of the dishes are made
with very traditional, ancient recipes. Of course, some are made as such.
There are even some recipes or creations that came from the Sultans themselves.
It's interesting to know. I didn't even know
that some Sultans enjoyed cooking and experimenting with recipes,
and their culinary creations are still served in Bale Raos.
So it was interesting.
The mission statement is noble, in my opinion.
He stated that he collects hundreds of recipes.
He had perused old recipe books or even obtained information from others
about the Palace's favorite cuisines or Jogja's special dishes
from the past to the present.
It's vital to do so in order to preserve, retain, and even modify the recipes,
because there's always room for innovation in any recipe.
Indonesians have strong national pride and cultures, which is very good.
However, in order to create something like Bale Raos…
And perhaps other places want to copy what they do,
they must be true to the core.
I mean, there's no doubt that a restaurant or eatery
is a business place.
Perhaps they…
It doesn't have to be highly profitable, but it does have to be profitable.
Sometimes, when restaurants face bottlenecks in their business
they would go all around the world for promotion,
offer discounts, and add some new dishes into their menu
to attract customers.
The restaurant's character would change.
Do we want to find other restaurants like Bale Raos?
Of course.
But could they stay true to themselves and stand the test of time?
Keeping the same spirit over the years.
Of course, the presentation and all can improve.
But how about their menu, serving methods,
how they maintain the traditions
and histories behind each dish, and how to keep them going for years?
These are all aspects to consider.
He's a very humble guy. That's the fact.
He provided a good hospitality.
We met him, and he thoroughly explained all of the dishes served
and made recommendations.
He could tell us every dish's backstory.
Each dish contained a piece of storytelling,
which, of course, made our dining experience more special.
From the time of the Ancient Mataram to the Yogyakarta Sultanate establishment,
their story of flavor is forever etched
in the temple reliefs, inscriptions and manuscripts
of Javanese literature.
It represents the city's love and respect for its culinary heritage,
and is a truly gastronomic destination.
