Sidosemi’s meatballs
This small blue stall tucked away in the heart of Kotagede sells a local culinary speciality: soup with meatballs. In the 1970’s Pak Sidosemi opened a warung near the great mosquewhere he invented the recipe for his famous bakso tomat: meatball soup with tomato. Recently, the grandson took over the place and started afresh at this new location. He has given a twist to some of the old recipes, but kept his grandfather’s name: Bakso Putu Sidosemi (Sidosemi’s grandson’s soup).
