Ayam Geprek Bu Rum

Credited as one of the pioneers of ayam geprek, Bu Rum's humble warung in Yogyakarta has become legendary. Customers line up for its crispy fried chicken smashed with fiery rawit chili sambal, served in a self-service style (you even scoop your own rice and veggies).

The authentic taste and tongue-numbing spice have made it a must-visit; it's often referred to as the original ayam geprek experience. Despite the no-frills setting, it earns stellar ratings (around 4.5/5 on Google with thousands of reviews) – a testament to its long-standing reputation. Short on time? This bottled sambal offers comparable taste with no effort for those wanting to enjoy similar flavors at home.
