Blawong rice which is the favorite of Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono VIII, is the most secret recipe, as nobody knows the formula. The ingredient’s formula is delivered directly from inside kraton, and then the resto mixes it with the rice.
Sate (setae) sanggar is made from beef that is boiled in the ingredient before toasted on the charcoal. The beef is clipped with bamboo sticks before baked. The good taste of the ingredients and the soft of the beef give more satisfaction for the tongue.
