Kya-Kya



Heroes and the city of Surabaya city familiar with the song Red Bridge. Hot air during the day, also two times more heat skin prick stabbed. However, if there, do not forget to try the rocking tour tongue, try a different cuisine very delicious eastern Java. Can choose from any class restaurant, or go to the cafe. There is another one place, called "Kya-Kya" mean "streets" (Chinese). This location is a cross between the concept of the carnival and a variety of snacks, combined into one so that visitors can freely choose what is desired taste. Maybe shopping knickknacks first, then later eat. Or conversely, eat first then just shopping. The atmosphere is similar to the Kampung Tenda Semanggi, but here there is no permanent stalls, all of them are street vendors.

Kya-Kya Surabaya Chinatown is located in the area, namely in the Kembang Jepun, or the right adjacent to Red Bridge. Only open at night from 18:00 hours until midnight. Its location was along the highway as wide as 8 feet and as far as 150 meters from the traffic accident closed ranmor. Entering this area we will see a long line of some arch hung with dozens of red Chinese lanterns. Chinatown atmosphere here is very strong aroma. Not just because gapuranya, but also because traders who sell souvenirs also sell trinkets smelly Chinese talismans. For example the statue of Kwan Im, various zodiac symbol, a small bell clapper. Traders will seduce the buyer, saying if you buy it will bring luck and good fortune throughout life. Speaking of luck, here was also opened kiosks expert astrologer clairvoyance old Chinese style. They will serve the various complaints and feng shui consultations. Who knows, you feel exposed in a month is definitely not merely this, please go to them, asking how to escape from the clutches of bad luck.

Food sold here is provided in the menu rather than just Chinese food. We will easily find other snacks with processed archipelago. Eg Balado chicken chili, grilled fish ala Makassar, etc.. Interestingly, all offered at very economical price aka cheap hawker reply. I tried to eat here two nights and the average is quite satisfactory. Its very tasteful food and drinks offered was very diverse sport. Assorted juice and other soft drinks served in many tents are selling this area.

Besides food, Kya-Kya also have space for typical regional souvenir sellers or typical Chinesse. The concept of an outdoor night market that sells not only food but also items that interesting knickknacks. Yesterday there, I saw many that sell accessories to welcome Chinese New Year. The color red typical ubiquitous. The price offered was very competitive. For example a car key chain "luck" is sold at 10 rebu dollars only. The price range of accessories may vary depending on size and material base. But clearly, visitors come here is not just a meal. They can make themselves available to spend by the perfunctory in tents and accessories souvenir sellers who also enliven the place.
