GUDEG CEKER MARGOYUDAN

Hunting Culinary Delights before Dawn

 We would not be able to stop when we talk about Solo culinary tour. It is just amazing. It was 2 AM when YogYES went out for hunting the famous and delicious Gudeg Ceker (chicken claw gudeg). The first 10 minutes riding our motorcycle, the street was empty. We only passed another vehicle occasionally. But once we entered Monginsidi Street, rows of cars with license plates from out of town and dozens of motorcycles were parked neatly on the roadside. The atmosphere completely changed, the cold and chilly night was replaced with a warm atmosphere of Gudeg Ceker Margoyudan stall. There was a crowd lined up around an old woman who was busy preparing many plates of gudeg ceker. Most visitors chose to enjoy the warm gudeg ceker at wooden benches in the stall, and some young people chose to sit on the mats so they could freely chat with their friends while enjoying the food.

After few moments waiting, YogYES finally got a plate of rice and gudeg with sambal krecek and four chicken claws. Yes, the chicken claw that is often being despised was successfully transformed into an excellent delicious dish. The gudeg was rather savory and salty, unlike most of gudeg which tend to be sweet. The chicken claw was soft and tender. Cooked in coconut milk for several hours, its skin and cartilage would be separated only in a single bite. This gudeg served in an average size, suitable for early breakfast.

Although there is no meat in chicken claw, it tastes very delicious. Skin, cartilage, muscle, and collagen contained in it make claw so tasty and chewy. It is also rich of Omega 3 and Omega 6. In every 100 grams, there are 187 mg of Omega 3 and 2.571 mg of Omega 6. Both of these substances can help the growth of brain and blood vessel relaxation.

So, do you dare to accept the challenge of going out against drowsiness and chill air for a plate of that legendary gudeg ceker opens at 1:30 in the morning? You better be hurry because after 4 AM the delicious chicken claws would have run out.
