Food Adventure: Mie KJ (Kembang Jepun) Surabaya

Pangsit Mie (Noodle with Dumpling)

As the name suggests, Mie KJ can be found at Kembang Jepun Street in Surabaya City. It is only open at night and located by the roadside in front of the closed stores.

For your information, Kembang Jepun street is a busy business area from morning until afternoon. 

The street is typically full of cars, pedicabs, and pedestrians during the day. However, during the night, there are not that many cars passing by and not many business activities going on. Therefore, it is a pretty peaceful area to be at night time.

Mie KJ is a street food vendor that has been around for quite a long time. I believe it is open since 1960. Hence, it is pretty legendary in Surabaya.

For me, the noodle is quite delicious. With the aldente noodles and delicious soups, it is definitely worth a visit when you are in Surabaya. It is one of the go-to places for your culinary adventure in the city.

Usually Mie KJ is pretty busy with some people standing for their turn for a table. This proves that it is quite a well known place to eat. So be prepared to wait for a bit when it gets busy.

You could try a lot of different types of noodles here; pangsit mie; lo mie; he mie; etc. Choose your favourite type of noodles as you like it. I don't really know the many types of noodles since I am not too big of a fan of noodle.

In conclusion, this is of course one of the places to go when you are in Surabaya especially if you are a noodle lover and looking for a roadside foods.

Note: Please make sure you don't come looking for Mie KJ on Thursdays since they are close.....
