Chaotic Night Market in Surabaya, Indonesia 🇮🇩

I enjoyed a street food binge at the Kodam Night Market in Surabaya, Indonesia.

This market was highly recommended to me by a local girl, when I asked her where the best foodie area of Surabaya was.

When I arrived and saw the variety of tasty treats that were available I wasn't disappointed.

The only disappointing thing was how crowded it was. Pasar Malam Kodam is huge but it's also hugely popular.

I began my foodie adventure with some good local Indonesian food, Gado Gado. I first tried this dish in Bukit Lawang 4 years ago and loved it. Gado Gado is a salad with various ingredients, covered in peanut sauce. It's something healthy and also delicious.

Also delicious was the Iced Milo that I enjoyed along with it. Indonesians love Milo and so do I, so I'm happy that it's available everywhere.

That was all a nice light appetizer to get the food tour started. I left the Gado Gago vendor and went hunting for more delicious Indonesian cuisine.

I was attracted to one stall that had a Super Mario theme. I thought they were selling Takoyaki but it was actually a local food called Pentol Goreng.

Pentol is a typical street food, or Kaki Lima, as they call it in Indonesia. It's like a meatball with no meat.

As it is served on a stick, it would be the perfect type of food to eat as you walk around the market. However, as one of my hands was taken up by my vlogging camera, I had to find somewhere quiet to sit down and enjoy it.

Fortunately I sat next to some friendly people and was offered a stick of Sempol, which is something like a Korean Tteokbokki snack.

After enjoying a 5,000 rupiah ($0.30 USD) mango juice, I went on the hunt for a local football jersey.

I already bought the Persib Bandung jersey when I was in that city, and Persebaya Surabaya are like a brother club, so I went looking for that too. The market was mainly for food but there was still a big clothes section there.

Whenever I successfully complete a market hunt, I like to reward myself with a nice snack. So, wearing my new football shirt, I searched the night market for something tasty.

The fried mozarella cheese stick caught my eye. I tried one of them in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and it was delicious. So that's what I bought. I took it back to the quieter area and devoured it!

That tasty, cheesy delight was washed down with a lemon iced tea at only 3,000 rupiah ($0.20 USD) from a stall with Mickey Mouse branding.

I had room in the big Scottish belly for one more meal and it had to be dessert. The obvious choice was the soufflé Japanese pancakes that seemed to be so popular at this market.

There were so many stalls selling these souffle pancakes and all of them had a massive queue.

I had a long wait before I could get myself one (actually two, because that was the minimum you could buy) but it was worth it. A sweet way to end this trip to the night market in Surabaya.
