🍽️ Vegan Eats to Try (Local & International)

While exploring these restaurants, look out for both traditional plant-based Javanese dishes and international vegan fare:

• Tempeh bacem (sweet fermented tempeh cooked with spices) — a local vegan classic.

• Nasi pecel with peanut sauce (just ask without egg).

• Vegan versions of nasi goreng or gudeg (young jackfruit stew) when prepared without animal products.

✨ Tip: Many Indonesian street food stalls can prepare dishes vegan-friendly if you request no eggs, dairy, shrimp paste or fish sauce — especially popular staples like gado gado or vegetable satays
