Semanggi Surabaya

Memorable Food

Hi..! I was born and raised in the city of Surabaya which is known as the city of heroes, From childhood to adolescence I lived in the Central Surabaya area namely in Petemon, then when I was a teenager my parents bought a house in the West Surabaya area, specifically in Benowo.

The typical Surabaya food that I will introduce to you is "Semanggi Surabaya" which historically comes from the Benowo area, precisely in Kendung Village, So the people of Kendung Village use plants around the house to cook so that it becomes Semanggi Surabaya food or what people usually know as pecel semanggi.
After getting to know its history, it's only natural that when you pass through Kendung Village, which is currently adjacent to the Citraland area there are many traders selling semanggi.

Before I got married, almost every Sunday morning I always eat semanggi with my father, mother and my brother, otherwise I usually eat semanggi for breakfast with my friends.

Pecel semanggi is made from semanggi vegetables which are boiled and sprinkled with a special semanggi seasoning consisting of Javanese sugar, shrimp paste and chili then served with puli crackers, sometimes semanggi vegetables are also served with other vegetables such as bean sprouts and kale.

If we talk about semanggi, to be honest, this food is very memorable for me, because I always eat semanggi with my mother and father. Do you have memories of your local food too? Comment below👇🏻
