SURYA.CO.ID - Exploring Surabaya could be on travellers' whishlists when they decide to visit East Java as Surabaya is the Capital of this province.

Even though Surabaya is the second biggest city in the country, does not mean there is no way to enjoy it on a budget.

Some articles give tips and tricks so travellers no need to waste money.

Let's take a look!

Affordable 'Warung' or Traditional Food Shops from $2

1.  Yeski Café

As mentioned on the site www.pergikuliner.com .

Having a meaning of "Visit food's world", Pergi Kuliner has list of a food-shop named “Yeski Café”. The list shows how the prices are no more than $3 or IDR 30.000.

Yeski Café has reputation for its Indonesian-Ramen.

Means, the Ramen is adapted from Japanese’s traditional food but the recipe is transformed into Indonesian flavor.

2.  Bebek Sinjay

Based on Madura Island, next to Surabaya.

Bebek Sinjay has several franchises spreaded among East Java. One of all is around Kaza Plaza, Surabaya.

www.anekawisata.com wrote, “Ini dia bebek khas Bangkalan Madura yang enak dan maknyus rasanya.”

“This is it the fried-duck as Bangkalan, Madura’s signature food which is tasty and watering mouth.”

The price is about $2 or IDR 20.000

3.       Warung Leko

Still on the site www.anekawisata.com, the site told the readers there is a “warung” in Ampel Street.

The signature menu of this food-shop is Iga Sapi or Cow Rib with “sambal”.

Sambal is similar to spicy sauce but it is traditional sauce in Indonesia, especially Java Island.

Simple Dorm, Indonesians Call it “Kos Harian”

“Kos” is assosiated with a room-dorm-alike that people can rent for several months or minimum a month and not for tourism.

But it does not mean there is no daily-kos.

In daily kos people are allowed to rent the room even only for one night and the price is under motel or hotel which has tourism aim.

A special kos blog by Mamikos on www.blog.mamikos.com has multiple choices for those who look for non-pricey dorm whether for one night or even for enjoying Surabaya in a month.

The prices start from $5 per night to $30 for per month.

Transportation

Surabaya has several options of transportations.

“Ojek online” is one of them.

It is similar to taxi online but in motorbike mode.

Gojek, Grab or Uber could be the choice.

The motorbike option surely has less-price than the car one.

The price depends on how far your location to destination is, could be $1, could be $10.

But per night you still no need to waste money more than $20.
