Bebek Sambirejo & Iga Prambanan: Amaranta's Reinterpretation of Javanese Cuisine

The names of The Tree's signature dishes aren't just menu labels — both Bebek Sambirejo and Iga Prambanan take their names from where Amaranta stands, in the Prambanan area. These two dishes are how The Tree's kitchen signs its own location through flavor, not just through the view.

Bebek Sambirejo: Spice Wrapped in Leaf, Cooked Over Coals

Bebek Sambirejo is made from seasoned duck wrapped in banana leaf before being cooked over an anglo — a traditional brazier that cooks slowly with coal heat. Wrapping the meat keeps the seasoning locked in during cooking, while the anglo's heat lends a subtle smoky aroma that modern cooking methods don't produce. The name itself refers directly to Sambirejo, the village in Prambanan where Amaranta stands — not a name chosen at random.

Iga Prambanan: Beef Ribs From the Same Technique

Iga Prambanan — also called Iga Sapi — is a beef rib dish also cooked using the anglo technique. Like Bebek Sambirejo, its name comes from the Prambanan area where the hotel sits — an area also known for its temple. The meat's texture and doneness follow the anglo's character: slow-cooked, with a slightly charred surface from direct contact with the coals.

Chicken & Salmon Head: Same Technique, Different Ingredients

Beyond these two mainstays, Amaranta's signature anglo-seasoned Chicken and Salmon Head show the technique isn't limited to one type of ingredient. Both poultry and salmon head receive the same anglo treatment, proving this brazier method isn't a one-off trick for a single dish but a consistent approach used across the kitchen.

One Spice Blend, Many Dishes

All these dishes share the same Signature Amaranta Spices, paired with the traditional anglo technique. That repetition isn't a limitation — it's an identity. It's how The Tree's kitchen shows that its reinterpretation of Javanese cuisine follows one consistent thread, rather than being a collection of unrelated menu items.

The Tree team at Amaranta Prambanan Yogyakarta can recommend a combination of anglo dishes suited to a family meal or a special occasion.
