On one particularly busy evening, several visitors and vendors shared their experiences while buying and selling at the Kodam Brawijaya Night Market. Rina (25), a sausage skewer vendor who was grilling sosis skewers, explained that she prepares her snacks carefully every time the night market opens. She said that the sausage skewers here taste savory, and the seasoning seeps deeply because they are grilled slowly over charcoal. According to her, she always maintains quality by using thick sausages so that each skewer feels substantial.
“Besides being delicious, the price is perfect for students—only 5,000 rupiah per skewer, except for the large sausage which is 10,000. That’s why whenever I come to the Kodam night market, this is the first food people look for,” she said with a smile. She adds that she arranges all the snacks neatly after a full day in the freezer so the taste and texture remain well-preserved.
The Kodam Brawijaya Night Market in Surabaya is open every:
Monday–Friday: 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM WIB
Saturday: 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM WIB
Around these hours, the night market usually becomes crowded at about 6:00 PM, when visitors arrive after work or classes. Bright tent lights illuminate the area, the aroma of grilled snacks fills the air, and the lively yet orderly atmosphere becomes the hallmark of this night market.
A buyer named Sella (23) chose chikuwa as her favorite snack. She said that the grilled chikuwa and pentol have a chewy texture and a savory flavor. She also mentioned that chikuwa is rarely found in other night markets, making the Kodam Brawijaya Night Market feel more unique and varied.
“I really love it because it’s such a different kind of snack. And if it’s grilled a bit longer, the edges become crispy while the inside stays soft,” she explained.
However, she also noted that sometimes the texture is uneven and some parts are slightly undercooked due to the vendor rushing the grilling process.
