Niki Mantep is one of Salatiga’s most popular snack and oleh-oleh destinations, offering a wide selection of packaged treats. The shop features items such as crackers, traditional sweets, chips, and other regional specialties sourced from local producers. With multiple branches across the city, it is easily accessible and a convenient stop for guests looking to bring home a variety of well-packaged local snacks.
One of the legendary drinks in Salatiga is Depot Es Kesambi, which has been around since 1948. The depot dates back to the colonial era, when Dutch residents still lived in Salatiga, making it part of the city’s culinary history. A unique feature of this place is that the dessert is served on a medium plate rather than in a bowl, using an authentic syrup recipe.
One of its best-selling menus, Es Kesambi, is made with a mix of sugar palm fruit, grated young coconut, agar-agar, grass jelly, pudding, fruits such as lychee or melon, and pieces of bread. The combination of soft, chewy, and refreshing textures makes it a classic dessert drink enjoyed by generations.
Mie Ayam Konco Dewe is a well-loved local noodle stall in the Mangunsari area of Salatiga, serving Javanese-style mie ayam, where the chicken topping has a slightly sweet flavor and is typically paired with a clear, light broth. Here, the classic style is maintained with its clear soup, but what makes it stand out is the addition of a thick yellow gravy that adds a rich, sweet and savory depth to the dish. Beyond the standard chicken topping, they also offer variations such as chicken feet (ceker), balungan (meaty chicken bones), and meatballs, making it a hearty and satisfying choice within Salatiga’s local noodle scene.
