Bungkul Park — Attraction in Surabaya

One of the iconic public space in Surabaya that any travellers need to see, or to be more accurate : to taste. Taste? Why? Because this garden doesn't only offer space for hanging out with friends and family but also enjoy the traditional culinary experience. There are many good stalls and vendors with good food and very affordable price (read: cheap!). I went there looking for Semanggi Surabaya. God it tastes so heavenly tasty and yummy! It reminded me for my childhood memory as I usually had it in front of my Grandma's house. This city, the city where I was born, has been transformed amazingly, receiving awards internationally. Surabaya is green, full with green public space and garden (or small park) which make the city friendlier and comfortable to live in. Definitely I come again to Taman Bungkul to try more yummy food!

Bungkul Park

Bungkul Park is a Green Open Space (RTH) located in the center of Surabaya City. Bungkul Park is located on Jalan Taman Bungkul, Darmo, Wonokromo District, Surabaya City, East Java. The park which was inaugurated on March 21, 2007 has various facilities that attract the public and tourists. The area which was built on an area of ​​900 square meters was awarded The 2013 Asian Townscape Award or the best garden in Asia in 2013. The name Bungkul Park comes from a very influential figure in the spread of Islam in Surabaya and its surroundings. The character is named Ki Ageng Supo, who gets the title Sunan Bungkul or Mbah Bungkul. Ki Ageng Supo is buried behind this garden which is also a place for pilgrims.

Taman Bungkul is always the attractive place to visit and enjoy all the time, morning, noon, afternoon, and night. It's local foods are offered in unique way at welcomed atmosphere. Last night I ate Nasi Rawon and Tahu Campur here. We take a Duluxe Suit Room at Grand Darmo in Taman Bungkul. I also accompany my wife, my niece and sister in-law to have dinner in Bebek Tepi Sawah in this area. Taman Bungkul has ample parking spaces. The vicinity is safe and the local people are accustomed with visitors. We live is a house very near to Taman Bungkul and next to the Chief of Police here. Taman Bungkul also has two hospitals and around the clock Police security.
