This is one of the most unique places we visited, I wish we
have something similar in Malaysia. Or perhaps we do buy am not aware (please
invite me for review yea ).
Omah Kecebong is an all-in-one concept of a traditional
attraction, encompassing guesthouse, dining, bullcart, batik craft, grass
pupper, traditional dances and many more. Situated just 7km from Jogjqkarta
city, Omah Kecebong is surrounded with horticultural garden and scenic
landscape. Aside from experiencing local delicacies and staying in their local architecture/decorated
guesshouse, one can also venture into outdoor activities lava tour &
downhill cycling, gerobag (bull cart) ride, horticultural garden and etc. Not
only that, try your hand at some local craft for example ‘wayang suket’, batik
Jogja and literature slam night.
Bull Cart Ride
The bull cart ride takes guest from Omah Kecebong passing
through green rice field, villages and rural area. Guests get to learn on
agricultural produce and local crops from local farmers, their traditional way
of planting and harvesting crops such as: rice, beans, corn, chilies and etc.
Wayang Suket
Similar to 'wayang kulit' or shadow puppet, grass puppet or
'wayang suket' made famous and originated from Tegal in Central Java by the
renowned Slamet Gundono; a dalang or puppet master that revolutionized the art
of puppeteer, specifically grass puppet.
'The puppets are named after the material used to make them,
which is grass, or suket in Javanese. The types of grass shaped into the
different figures are usually teki (sedge grass), gajah (elephant grass), or
mendhong (mat-making grass).' - Credit to The Jakarta Post
Batik Jogja
Jogja batik is known for their base colour which is usually
white, black, and brown colors and the way tjanting batik are done (drawn using
hot wax) by hand, bird, animal or even human form are the common patterns used.
This traditional technique form a category of its own called batik tulis (hand
drawn batik). Where else the modern version is called batik cap (batik
print/stamp) to cater for large scale production.
