Pasar Bulak Banteng

4.6(45 reviews)

About

A farmers or artisan market on Java, Pasar Bulak Banteng occupies Gg. Nanas in Sidotopo Wetan, part of Kec. Kenjeran in Surabaya, Jawa Timur. The market sits in the city's eastern districts, away from the main tourist routes.

Forty-five reviews have gathered around Pasar Bulak Banteng, a modest tally that reflects its role as a neighbourhood market rather than a destination. Surabaya anchors eastern Java, and the island's other cities, Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Malang, Bogor and Solo, lie across the island's road and rail network. Visitors rate the market 4.6 out of 5, a strong figure for a local pasar.

This is a farmers or artisan market in the ordinary sense, a place of wet and dry stalls under one roof. Shoppers come for fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, rice and the spices and packaged goods that stock kitchens across the island day to day.

Indonesia's seasons follow the northwest monsoon, which brings rain, and the southeast monsoon, which brings drier weather. Bahasa Indonesia is the national language, and a few words of it go a long way when buying at the stalls.

Wayang shadow puppetry and gamelan music are traditional art forms of Indonesia, especially on Java and Bali, and both are part of the cultural backdrop around Surabaya.
