Adding onto virtualaris list of dishes, I'd like to add nasi brongkos (brongkos rice). They serve a very decent nasi brongkos too at the Phoenix.
Be careful when you are trying oseng-oseng mercon (mercon = fireworks). The way they prepare it is 1/4 portion meat mixed with 3/4 portion chili.
When in Yogyakarta, Bale Raos is well worth a visit or three. This restaurant's lovely ground is an extension of the keraton (sultan's palace), and is in fact owned by a member of royal family. They serve favorite dishes of current and past sultans and other royals.
