The 2019 Kangen Market is a nostalgic event for visitors. Because it offers hundreds of unique culinary delights from the past and is only available at Kangen Market. One of the iconic foods at Kangen Market this year is tolpit.
Tolpit is a typical Bantul food. The name tolpit is an abbreviation of 'clamped penis' because its shape resembles a vital organ. Made from simple materials, as many as 1500 tolpit can be sold every day.
Another unique snack can also be found at Kangen Market, namely grandmother's hair. Here we can even see the manufacturing process directly.
Apart from that, there are contemporary foods too, such as Sthesis Mushroom Tofu. Not only food, this annual market also sells various antiques that are hard to find. Such as toys, cosmetic products, watches and other old items. All food stands and old goods have gone through a committee selection process.
This event received a good response from various parties. Visitors hope that this event will continue every year.
