CENTRAL JAVA
History has left its footprints across Central Java, an area rich in culture and tradition descending from a powerful Hindu and Buddhist past, and more recent Islamic influences. Under the Saliendra and Old Mataram kings in the 8th and 10th centuries the Hindu-Javanese culture flourished, and it was during this period that Java's most remarkable religious monuments were built: Borobudur, the most magnificent monuments to Mahayana Buddhism in the world; the enormous Hindu temple complex of Prambanan, and the ancient site of the oldest Hindu temples in Java on the Dieng Plateau. |

SATE AYAM SINAR JAYA SOKARAJA
For sate (roasted meat) lovers, this sate is much recommended. The taste is so delicious, it smells so good as well. It was called Sate Ayam Sokaraja (Sokaraja chicken roasted meat) before, but because there were so many people that used the same name, therefore now it was called "Sate Ayam Sinar Jaya Sokaraja". |
