Apeng Kwetiau Medan - Kedung Doro — Restaurant in Surabaya

One of the quite famous restaurant in Surabaya. Serving typical Medan dishes such as kuetiauw, noodles, fried rice etc. There is a choice of pork/chicken/seafood for the toppings.

I think the serving time is relatively fast. Usually I order boiled curly noodles, I think the taste they offer is good. You can ask for additional fried lard (gromoan) which is crunchy and can increase your appetite.

You will see quite a number of staff ready to serve you. How to order : Approach the standby greeters in front of the entrance Mention the number of guests and you will be given a queue number Wait in front of the restaurant until your number is called, you can sit in the seats provided (quite limited so sometimes you have to stand), if you are lucky or come outside of rush hour, you can enter the restaurant right away after your number is called, you will be directed to a table Mention the menu that you want to order to the duty officer Food will be delivered to your table After enjoying your meal, you can make payment to the cashier (accept cash/non-cash payments)

note: you can directly order without a queue number when ordering for take away. But you still have to meet the...

Considered the best Medanese kwayteow (rice noodle) in Surabaya. The place is always packed with customers, making it feel the dining room was not spacious enough. Locals are willing to queue for even more than an hour to get the table.

We ordered the fried rice noodles, sloppy rice noodles (Kwetiau Siram) and the fried vermicelli (Bihun Goreng). All were with pork and seafood. This decision proved to be good decision as the savory taste of pork and the sweetness of seafood go well together.

The pork meat was perfectly cooked, they were tender and flavorful. There were also the slices of sweet Chinese sausages. The seafood option comes in shrimp and fish balls, they complemented the dish well as the diner could experience different textures of the dish in every bite.

The fried dumplings were also good, served freshly deep fried with shrimp and pork fillings.

All in all, there is a reason why Apeng becomes Surabaya favorite for many years. Highly...

Apeng is such a classic and well known place to eat medan-style kwetiaw in Surabaya. The queue can be long but you will be served in no time. Once we came around 1 PM, we got number 48 and the current number served was 35. We thought it's gonna be long time but no less than 15 minutes we were ushered in. The service was very quick, i heard that this place has around 120 employees. Quite large for humble restaurant, but effective to serve the customers. My favorite menu is kwetiaw siram, which is noodle drenched in thick delicious broth topped with pork and seafood. Pro tips: ask for extra garlic to the server, it will enhance the flavor even better. My husband loved the kwetiaw goreng, but i think it was a bit bland compared with the siram. Overall, we would love to visit the place again. The downside is just the parking space is along a very busy road, so if you go during working hours you may have to struggle...
