Bebek Sinjay
Fried duck is a popular food in Surabaya and Madura, East Java. There are so many restaurants and food stalls that offer fried duck in both areas. Bebek Sinjay (Sinjay Fried Duck) is one of the most popular fried duck in Surabaya and Madura. The restaurant was opened first in Bangkalan, Madura Island, and then it has several branches in Surabaya.
I went to Surabaya for work with my colleagues last year, and we visited Madura Island via Suramadu Bridge in our spare time. My colleague suggested to eat Bebek Sinjay in Bangkalan, because it’s very popular. The place was really simple but there were so many customers waiting to get their order. After eating this fried duck, I could understand why so many people coming here.
Bebek Sinjay now has its branch in Jalan Soekarno Hatta, Bandung. I often visit this place to eat with my family. The fried duck was served with steamed rice, sliced cucumber, and sambal pencit. Sambal pencit is the sauce that was made from raw mango and chili, and the taste was spicy but refreshing. The fried duck was really delicious, the meat was tender and savory. But of course, eating Bebek Sinjay in Bandung feels different from eating at it’s original place in Bangkalan :)
