PECEL Baywatch - Eating Pecel Kembang Turi Racikan Grandma Warno "Anderson"

At first I got confused with the nickname Baywatch Pecel that carried by pecel Grandma Warno. Terlintaslah mischievous imagination about the seller of the food that figure wearing a bikini like Pamela Anderson or at least stall is located on the beach. It turns out all wrong. Here's the full story.

Warung Mbah Warno located in Kasongan, precisely on the road to Mount Sempu.Shop which had stood since 35 years is very simple. Nameplate warong these measures just 30 x 20 cm2 which will be overlooked if not really paying attention.Interior shop filled with functional furniture and what it is. There are only a few wooden tables and chairs and a bamboo cot. Behind the table where lay his wares, there is a kitchen that always contain some smoldering brazier. An unintended actual position, because the kitchen in the concept of Java is usually located in the rear. Grandma Warno put the kitchen in the front stalls after the earthquake in May 2006 that ruined his house. "Do not have money to build a new kitchen", he said.
Grandma Warno pecel peddle the main menu with a variety of side dishes as a retinue.Starting from the catfish and fried eel, sweet, marinated tofu, dazed eel (eel bersantan spiced chili), to fried noodles. YogYES for ordering all can feel the different taste of Grandma Warno this.
While waiting, my mind pecel trace the origins of the same lack of clarity about the soup. Many areas in Java have pecel with his trademark respectively, for example Pecel Madiun, Blitar Pecel, Pecel Madura, Pecel Slawi and others. But at least, a Dutch historian named HJ Graaf has revealed that when Ki Ageng archery implementing decree of Sultan Hadiwijaya to migrate to the forest, called Alas Mentaok (now Kotagede), his entourage was greeted people on the edge of the River Opak and treated with various types of cuisine, including pecel .
My daydream interrupted when pecel and some food escort arrived at the table. A plate pecel, fried catfish, and know bacem as challenging for immediate enjoyment. There are four kinds of vegetables in this dish that is smeared with peanut sauce spinach leaves, papaya leaves, turi (Sesbania grandiflora), and seedling / sprouts. We will seduce taste sweet peanut sauce that tickles the tongue. When menguyah turi a little bit bitter, the sweet taste blends to produce the delicacy is difficult to express.
Pecel with turi are characteristic pecel "Ndeso". It is difficult to find a seller of the food like this. It is said to have efficacy turi relieve heartburn and mild headaches. So do not be surprised if the people of Java, India, and Suriname (Javanese descent still really, hehehe) is often eaten as a vegetable turi young.
Pecel will taste more delicious when combined with sweet, marinated tofu or fried catfish. Fried catfish at this place cooked until crispy, so crispy when bitten. While sweet, marinated tofu that is large enough to be enjoyed as a snack with chili sauce.There are also other dishes such as fried eel with two variations. First, fried eel and eel fry are small wet bigger. There are also noodle and fried eel dazed for those who like spicy food. Smoke from the stove add taste sensation from the dish in this shop.
Whether it was full or turi effect, finished eating my head was more intelligent than usual. While chatting with Grandma Warno light and his assistant, I so understand why pecel at this place called Pecel Baywatch. That's because Grandma Warno and his assistant was always wearing a similar outfit called vests. Clothing that is comfortable to wear in the middle of rural air Kasongan Bantul dry and hot.
Although the seller of the food is everywhere, Pecel Baywatch still offers something else for you. A combination of delicious food, rural atmosphere is thick, and the hospitality of Grandma Warno "Anderson".
