When
traveling or walking around, it is incomplete if it does not bring fruit
for family or friends. Even before reaching the destination, the first
thing to think about is souvenirs that we will buy upon arriving at the
destination.
In
addition to direct tourist attractions, in every tourist destination,
of course, there is a special place to buy a typical souvenir, so we do
not need to go around to find the desired item.
Malang, East Java
Deduwa Wholesale
is located in Batu City, East Java. The area that carries this
integrated concept consists of souvenir centers, restaurants, and
stopovers. With a parking lot that reaches 1 hectare, Deduwa is suitable
for Menong's friends who need a place to rest before trying various
tourist destinations in the Batu city area.
There are dozens
of spacious bedrooms that contain up to 10 small-size mattresses and 2
bathrooms to clean the body. Downstairs, restaurants and large mosques
are available. Visitors can enjoy it when they are tired.

Various
types of fruit chips remain a mainstay as handy fruits from Malang.
Fresh apples can also be purchased here if you don’t have time to buy in
an apple orchard. The price is not much different and even tends to be
cheaper.

Sorong, West Papua
There are not
many souvenir shops in Sorong, West Papua. One of them is the Batik
Various Shop on Jalan Sagawin No. 2, Sorong, which provides batik with
typical Papuan motifs and t-shirts.

Provide
a rather thick wallet content to shop in Sorong city because the price is 'slightly different' when compared to souvenir shops in other
cities. In comparison, the suit of the child’s sweatshirt is usually
priced at Rp. 50,000; in this place, the cheapest can reach Rp. 120,000.
And the choice of fabric types is not so much; different from batik
elsewhere, the basic material of cotton fabrics is very rare.
Pelabuhan Ratu, West Java
So what can a friend of Menong bring from Pelabuhan Ratu, Sukabumi, West Java? Of course, fish is fish.
Before going home, Menong’s friends can stop by the Fish Auction Site (TPI = Tempat Pelelangan Ikan). There can be found a variety of fresh fish. Do not worry about
how to bring fresh fish; the fishmonger will pack it in such a way that the
fish is safe and stays fresh until the house. Processed fish, such as
fish meatballs, can be found in traditional markets that are directly opposite TPI.

To get a pack of meatballs, Menong's friends had
to queue because the stock was easily sold out. Choose fish meatballs
with super quality so that the taste of the fish is more pronounced.
Don't forget to buy meatball gravy. In addition to raw meatballs to be
processed at home, Menong's friends can also buy and enjoy a bowl of fish meatballs directly in this place.
Yogyakarta, DIY Yogyakarta
Naaah...
it's not complete when you go to Yogyakarta without buying souvenirs. One of
the largest and most complete souvenir centers is the Hamzah Shop,
formerly known as Mirota, which is located at the end of Malioboro Street. We can choose batik fabric or apposter, bakpia, and other typical
Yogya foods and souvenirs at relatively cheap prices.

Another
alternative is Beringharjo Market, located right across from the Hamzah Shop.
Menong's friends can choose different types of commodities at much skewed prices. Of course, it’s good to bid...
In
addition to being a fruit for the family, unwittingly, the souvenir shop
also preserves Indonesian culture, from food to fabrics to souvenirs made
native to Indonesia.
Do not forget to always weigh the weight of the souvenirs that Menong's friends bring so as not to overpack when returning home later.
