Those fond of vintage items should consider a visit to Triwindu Market in Surakarta, Central Java. Situated in the city center, particularly in the Ngarsopuro area, it is home to rows of stalls that sell antique products.
The history of Senen market began when a Dutch entrepreneur, named Justinus Vinck, developed the market to the east of old Batavia in 1733. The market turned into a slum area after Indonesia’s independence in 1945, and reportedly experienced a steep rise in crime rates.
During the Idul Fitri holiday, households across Indonesia serve meat-based dishes such as rendang (beef simmered in coconut milk and spices) and semur daging (beef stew). Next year, how about substituting beef with the less pricey buffalo meat?
The government’s attempts to bring the price of beef below Rp 80,000 (US$6) per kilogram will be stymied by the lack of storage facilities, Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (INDEF) economy Enny Sri Hartati has said.
President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo visited Central Java on Wednesday to inaugurate several revitalized traditional markets. It is the President’s third field visit on the same agenda after market inaugurations in West Nusa Tenggara and Papua last week.
