Bakmi Pak Pele is one of the legendary noodle stalls in Yogyakarta. This stall has been around since 1983 and is located in the Kraton area of Yogyakarta. Bakmi Pak Pele has become one of Yogyakarta's culinary icons.
Pak Suharjiman, better known as Pak Pele, tells the origin of the name Pele for his stall. He says that the name Pele comes from the name of the legendary Brazilian footballer Edson Arantes do Nascimento or Pele. He admits to idolizing Pele.
Bakmi Pak Pele uses recipes passed down through his family. He uses duck eggs to make his noodles.
On this occasion, I had the opportunity to try various dishes at Bakmi Pak Pele. I ordered Nasi Goreng, Bakmi Goreng Kuning, and Bihun Godog.
Nasi Goreng Pak Pele is served with pieces of chicken and egg. The fried rice has a savory and delicious taste, and the seasoning on the chicken is well absorbed. This fried rice uses traditional recipes, with seasonings sautéed perfectly to produce a distinctive flavor. The rice is fried just right, not too dry or mushy.
Bakmi goreng kuning are served with pieces of chicken, duck egg, and vegetables. The fried noodles have a savory taste and a chewy texture. The chicken is tender, and the seasoning is well absorbed. A perfect combination of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors.
Bihun godog is one of the specialties at Bakmi Pak Pele. The vermicelli is brownish-yellow in color and very soft. It is served with a rich and flavorful chicken broth. The duck eggs are perfectly cooked, and the shredded chicken is tender and tasty.
Overall, I am delighted with the dishes served. All the dishes are delicious and appetizing. The prices are also very affordable.
