Depot Karimun - Citraland Fresh Market [Surabaya]

Food Court in an Open Market

Citraland Fresh Market

Citraland terletak di daerah ujung Barat Surabaya, dan biasanya tidak terlalu banyak pilihan makanan yang terjangkau di sini. Satu tempat yang lumayan untuk menjadi jujugan pemburu makanan enak & terjangkau, di fresh market Citraland, alias pasar nya Citraland.


Citraland is a middle upper real estate area in Surabaya, usually you can't find a bargain dining in the area. There's an exception here, but the eatery is spartan and located inside in a fresh market of Citraland.

Depot Karimun - Citraland Fresh Market

Tempatnya terbuka, jadi jangan berharap terlalu banyak tentang kenyamanan bersantap. Saat musim hujan begini harus ekstra sigap untuk menepis serbuan lalat. Walaupun suasana ala kadar, makan di sini tetap nyaman, dan sesuai dengan harganya. Banyaknya lalat mengingatkan saya dengan resto Cina yang satu ini : Chong Qing, kalau nuansa kaki lima sih wajar banyak lalat, sedangkan kalau resto kelas menengah, amit-amit deh.

This food court is located in the same area as an open market or fresh market as it's called, so don't expect a nice ambiance. Having been there on a rainy season, we had to wrestle a bit with the relentless flies. It's still worth it though, since the food are quite nice. This somewhat uncomfortable dining experience reminded me of a similar one in a full service restaurant, Chong Qing, while it's acceptable to had this kind of experience in a simple food court, it's another case for a restaurant.

Depot Karimun - Bihun Kuah (Rp 20.000)

Pilihannya makanan di sini cukup lengkap, ada kwetiau, nasi goreng, bihun, misua dan mie goreng. Karena sudah sering makan Kwetiau dan jarang ketemu Bihun, kali ini saya pesan Bihun Kuahnya. Lauknya minta seafood dan tanpa daging lain.


There's plenty of selection here, considering it's a small diner. There's Bihun, Mie Suah, Fried Rice, Noodle and Horfun. Since I was quite bored with eating Horfun, which seems to be abundant in Surabaya nowadays, I opted for the Bihun.

Depot Karimun - Misua Kuah (Rp 20.000)

 Makanan yang paling laris di sini adalah Misua / Mie Suah nya. Misuanya lembut dan dimasak dengan banyak daging dan bakwan, ditambah topping daun bawang dan bawang goreng yang gurih.

Their best seller is the Misua, which is a rice based noodle. It tastes nice, a lot of meatball and meat were used, so the broth is quite delicious and the noodle soaks it up nicely.

Depot Karimun - Misoa Kuah (Rp 20.000)

Kedua masakan ini rasanya enak, kalau harus memilih, saya lebih suka dengan Misuanya dibanding bihun-nya. Untuk selera saya terasa enak, teksturnya ok, paduan rasanya dengan kuahnya juga pas.


Both the dishes tastes ok, but if I had to choose, I'd pick the Misua over the Bihun. The Misua tastes just right for my palate, the texture are nicer and it blends well with the broth.
