Puriwisata

I went to Balai Seni Puriwasata by a trishaw ride after an advice from my trishaw driver. Actually, I just arrived in my hotel around 5pm then around 7pm, I started to explore Yogyakarta and I was visited this amazing place. For your information, you also can watch the Ramayana Ballet at the Prambanan temple, big stage or you can just watch the the town area, which is at the Balai Seni Budaya, Puriwisata.

The foods for the dinner buffet

Dinner + Performance Show

At the entrance, they will asked you whether you want to watch the show only or having a buffet style dinner. I asked them that I want to have take a look at the food they served. There a variety of food, and most of it is a Yogyakarta signature dish. So, I decided to have a dinner at there.

Entrance cost

Dinner buffet will cost you 13usd and the Ramayana Ballet show will cost you 17usd. If you choose to have both, cost 30usd. Quiet expensive but I think it is worth it. In here, I can taste a lot of food, especially GUDEG, a traditional food of Yogyakarta. You can check out Puriwisata Jogja for the tickets promotion.
