It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, three days after a certain Mount Kelud decided to "clean its bowels". We were all confined to the hotel and I was casually browsing tripadvisor.com for restaurants in Yogyakarta when I chanced upon Milas, the "all vegetarian" restaurant. In a country where there is virtually no main course without meat or seafood, this was a rarity and I decided that it definitely warranted a visit.
After meeting the team later that week I learnt that they had already visited the place and many had liked it. I called upon the team for a second visit and gladly Elisa, Antonella, Shannon and Dany agreed to accompany me.
As always we gathered at the hotel lobby and a 10 minute cab ride later we entered this spooky lane called Jalan Prawirotaman and there it was, a quaint looking place with the ambience of a hamlet. The theme looked deliberately rustic with bamboo huts and mini fountain ponds with frogs crocking from them. We occupied our table under one of the bamboo huts. The menu was "all vegetarian" indeed with an interesting collection of dishes from soups and salads, herbal drinks, natural ice creams, veggies cooked with coconut milk, yogurt and mustard, vegetarian pancakes, pastas and of course the staple food of Indonesia--"nasi putih" and "nasi goreng". A sumptuous meal and entertaining conversations occupied us for the next couple of hours before we decided to call it a day. A truly "Herbivoures only" evening !
