Yougwa Lakeside Restaurant
Restoran Yougwa Danau Sentani
Lake Sentani restaurant open since 1985, where snakehead fish is caught fresh and served with papeda in turmeric or sour broth.
Built over Lake Sentani beside the road from Abepura to Sentani Airport, the restaurant has operated since 1985 and has also opened a branch in Jakarta. Fish is kept in net pens in the middle of the restaurant, so the snakehead is caught and cooked to order. It can be made into turmeric broth, sour broth, woku, or grilled rica-style, and eaten with papeda. Other Papuan home dishes include stir-fried ganemo greens with papaya flowers. The lake views are wide open, and it can be busy on weekends. A single dish costs around IDR 40,000–120,000, about a 40-minute drive from central Jayapura.
