However, tourists usually come around the Jogja Monument or Malioboro Street because they are located in the city center and tourist attractions. Angkringan provides a wide selection of food menus. Its signature menu is Nasi Kucing. Why is it called cat rice? Because the portion is relatively small with anchovy sauce and tempeh sauce. However, don’t worry that we won’t be full because there are still many other food choices that can be used as a complementary food for cat rice, such as fried tofu, tempeh, egg satay, intestinal satay, and so on.
