Anyway, there is variety of Yogyanese foods available all along Malioboro street, like Soto, Nasi langgi, Es rujak, Bakso, Es dawet and other nibbles. Besides that, every night after the shops close, Lesehan vendors construct their tent-style warungs along the street, where kaki lima cooked food are served on floor mats instead of tables and chairs.
