"Nasi pecel is rice with some vegetable mixed with nut bumbu.
You can add some topping with other satay : bird eggs, shells and chicken.
Also you can tell them what you want, spicy, medium or not.
Payment is cash and inexpensive.
Crowded by customer because located at pedestrian street with government policy can be used by local street culinary."

"Indonesian Salad called 'pecel'. Pecel Yu Sri is a bit different with the most pecel in Central Java which is dominated with sweet taste. Pecel Yu Sri tends to 'Pecel' from Madiun with salty and hot taste."
