A No Name Food Stall at Peneleh, Surabaya

Distance view of food stalls at Peneleh

A few days ago, after finishing the work for hours, I finally decided to have lunch at a food stall that I used to visit when I worked as a salesman. The stall has been around for fifteen years ago, the special food provided is lamb satay and rice mixed lamb meat soup.

The location of the stall is at the T-junction between Peneleh Street and Makam Peneleh street, Surabaya, an old urban location in Surabaya. Previously this area was filled with wholesalers of fruits such as oranges and grapes, but since about eight years ago they were prohibited from selling there.

I remember when there were a lot of truck drivers and hip-men eating at the stall, but now that there are no fruit wholesalers in the area, the stall looks rather quiet. However, regular customers of the stall sometimes stop by when passing on that road.

Fortunately, the branch offices of the night bus service providers for the Surabaya-Denpasar and Surabaya-Singaraja majors are still in the Makam Peneleh area, so this the lamb satay stalls and riced mixed lamb meat soup still have regular customers who eat there, especially the drivers and bus driver assistants.

The satay and rice mixed lamb meat soup stall does not have a name and look like other street food stalls around that area, but for people who have been regular customers, it is not something big to worry about, as long as they can still enjoy their favorite food..

That is the reason why many customers still remember and take the time to eat at the stall, because of the delicious cuisine taste. The price is affordable, only around Rp. 10,000. The stall owner does not choose to increase the price. In addition to satay and rice mixed lamb meat soup, there are several other food menus such as fried chicken with chili sauce, fried sea fish and some snacks.

So if you pass the intersection between Peneleh and Makam Peneleh street, Surabaya, just try to take the time to eat at the place. (hpx)
