Meet Adil Albatati
Second generation Arab in Surabaya
He lives in Kalimas Udik
Located within Kampung Arab in Surabaya
Wander around the neighbourhood in the morning
Have a good hearty breakfast at Warung Gule Maryam at K.H. Mas Mansyur Street
Gulai kambing, or lamb curry
with roti mariam—flat, unleavened bread,
cooked on a flat or slightly concave iron griddle called tawa
eat it with your hands
with a glass of tea, or two
or coffee
Pigeon?
Here's Jalan Sasak
Sekolah Al-Irsyad, at Jl. Ampel Maghfur 22
Um, yeah, Adil used to study here.
Now, we're entering Ampel Suci
We can find tasbih (prayer beads),
furry animal keychains,
religious comics and guides,
Friendly people,
homemade, customized perfumes, various taqiyah (Moslem short, rounded cap), dates, ... special snack, Kamer
rings ...
Need a haircut?
Or some vintage clothing shopping?
Oops...
We found out where he gets his cutting edge wardrobe.
OK, back to Jalan Sasak again.
And Jalan Panggung (There's a bustling fishmarket every afternoon here)
Meet Najmi, and Helmi
We're inside Helmi's perfume shop
He also sells some pastel puffs. Too bad we can't stay long.
Crossing Jalan KH Mas Mansyur
Back to Jalan Sasak again
Passing through the many kitab and religious book stores along the street
