At most restaurants in Semarang, you will find a plate full of satays. These satays are somewhat different (and can be a bit daunting) because the meat used is the intestine part. I am not a big fan of intestine so I gave this plate a miss and decided to focus on the noodle instead.

Bakmi Djowo is sold in 3 different version. One is fried. Another is soup. The last one is the most interesting version because it is half fried, half soup. The half-half version is called "Mie Nyemek". I prefer my noodle to be fried though. So this is the fried version. 

The restaurant can be pretty crowded at dinner time so you need to have a certain degree of patience to wait for your order. After all, Semarang people love to eat.
