Holiday Ayo - The city of Magelang has a culinary called nasi lesah. This food is also known as the typical Magelang doto. At first glance, this nasi lesah is indeed almost similar to soto, to be precise, Soto Betawi, whose soup is made from coconut milk. From there, we can tell that this lesah rice has a strong savory taste from the coconut milk.

In addition, what distinguishes nasi lesah from soto in general is that if soto is usually served in a bowl, lesah rice is served in a plate. In addition to using coconut milk, lesah rice also has supporting ornaments as in Soto dishes in general. Namely shredded chicken, cabbage pieces, vermicelli, celery, and sprouts. In addition, the coconut milk sauce on lesah rice is mixed with chicken broth so that the taste is even stronger.

Nasi lesah is also an embodiment of local wisdom which is considered rare because only a few places sell this dish. Among the few stalls selling nasi lesah are Warung Makan (WM) D'Lesah on Kalingga Street, Number 15, Magelang City.
