Sidoarjo, My Hometown

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog and for this time I will tell you guys about my hometown, Sidoarjo, yeah probably most of you guys have already heard or even have been in this beautiful city of Sidoarjo but let me tell you guys from my perspective.

First things first, Sidoarjo is one of the 29 regency in east java and it’s quickly become more modern in the past 10 years. As far as I can remember, this city doesn’t has many malls and supermarket back then as it is now today. Such as, Giant supermarket, Lippo Plaza, and Ramayana. Do we really need that much malls? Also the population is now very crowded with lots of newcomers come here. But don’t get me wrong, I love how my hometown is keep growing and modernize along the time, it’s just sometimes doesn’t feel like the hometown I used to know.

Aside from the malls and people, Sidoarjo has other interesting to offer, like there are Mpu Tantular Museum, Gelora Delta Stadium (GOR), Alun-Alun Sidoarjo, Masjid Agung Sidoarjo, and many other cool place to visit when you’re in Sidoarjo. For the last one, let’s talk about the typical food from Sidoarjo. Sidoarjo is known for shrimp and milkfish (bandeng). It can be made into delicious otak-otak bandeng, bandeng asap (smoked milkfish), and Bandeng Presto. For the shrimp, it can be made into kerupuk udang (shrimp cracker) and Petis sauce, my favorite.
