The menu features BPK (Babi Panggang Karo), along with saksang, pork fried noodles, and pork fried rice. With its simple setting and bold, flavorful dishes, it has become a go-to place for those looking to enjoy hearty Batak-style pork cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere.

Sate Sapi Suruh features carefully selected beef, cut into small pieces, skewered, and grilled over charcoal to perfection. The meat remains juicy with a distinct smoky aroma, served with a rich and slightly sweet peanut sauce and a side of spicy sambal. It is typically enjoyed with lontong (rice cakes) and shallots to balance the flavors.
This legendary peanut candy is handmade using a traditional recipe passed down for generations. Made from roasted peanuts and caramelized sugar, it has a sweet, nutty flavor with a perfectly crisp texture that melts lightly as you bite into it. It’s simple, and that’s exactly what makes it special. It represents the authentic, old school taste of Salatiga’s culinary heritage. You’ll easily find it in many local specialty stores around the city, beautifully packed and ready to bring home.
Tumpang is a traditional Javanese stew made with fermented soybean cake, herbs, and spices, creating a rich and savory sauce. It is served with koyor (slow-cooked beef tendon) and bean cake that absorbs the flavorful broth.

Tumpang Koyor Mbah Rakinem is known for its long-standing home-style recipe and well-balanced flavor. A portion of nasi sambal tumpang koyor is served with boiled chayote, papaya leaves, tofu, and karak (crispy rice cracker), offering a hearty and authentic taste of Salatiga’s traditional cuisine.
