This was the second recommendation from a local driver after the first option had closed, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The food was quite good and very affordable, making it a great value. The atmosphere was lively, with plenty of local street food stalls lining the front street, offering a variety of choices and an authentic culinary experience. It’s an excellent spot for those seeking a casual yet flavorful local meal without stretching the budget.

Love that you can pick what you will have in the bowl. Also very quick because they just pour the broth in after. All on self-serve basis. Beautiful tasty broth. Very happy.

One of the iconic culinary in Malang City. Bakso or meatball with many variants of 'gorengan' will make your day in Malang become more memorable. Bakso Kota Cak Man has been available in other cities as well like Bandung, Jakarta etc. Even it opens branches abroad. Price is very reasonable. Bakso is between 3k - 8k for the regular size n the spicy meatball. You can also have giant meatball. Gorengan and siomay is mostly 3k. There are also many options for the drinks, from iced tea to es campur, es teler etc.

The place is such a typical meatball restaurant in Indonesia, nothing fancy and not very comfortable. But I can assure the meatballs are top tier! Not to mention the fried food, combined with the broth. I took way too much things and ended up very full.
