After checking in to my luxury hotel in Surabaya, I went out to explore the streets for some tasty local food.
I was specifically looking for "Nasi Bebek Goreng" which is fried duck with rice. With the help of Google Maps I went exploring, and found a street cart with good reviews.
At 20,000 rupiah ($1.30 USD) for a portion it was insanely good value for a big leg of duck, rice and tempeh goreng.
For dessert I ate Pisang Ijo from the vendor working beside the Nasi Bebek cart.
Pisang Ijo is a popular West Java dessert consisting of "green bananas" coated in coconut milk and palm sugar syrup. It has a sweet and creamy texture and a delicate coconut flavour.
The bananas that they use are a specific type that are green even when ripe, and a big more starchy than regular bananas.
As if dinner and dessert wasn't enough, I stopped by a Martabak stall on the way back to my hotel. Martabak is something like a thick savoury pancake.
I enjoyed the Martabak with some friendly locals who didn't speak much English but were still willing to interact with me.
