Masakan Madura Bukan Cuma Bebek Goreng, Bung!
"Halo Initialers, kadhi penapa kabare?" (apa kabar?) "Kabar sae?" (kabar baik?) Hehe, itu sedikit petikan sapa menyapa ala orang Madura. Surabaya emang sangat mesra hubungannya dengan tonggo’ne (tetangga) di bagian timur itu. Apalagi abis dibangunnya Jembatan Suramadu, makin muluslah akses dari dan ke Madura. Tapi 3 kali petualanganku ke Madura belum jua menemukan kuliner yg haujek sencingping. Masa makanan madura cuman monoton bebek goreng aja sih? Penasaran dgn hal ini, aku datang ...
Peaceful Sunset in Madura
Oret-oretku tentang Mercusuar Sembilangan di Madura memancing banyak perhatian dari Initialers yang penggila melancong dan berfoto ria.

He had memories there on his childhood. Since we still had plenty of time, then I said “Okay!” Sembilangan Lighthouse is located near the western tip of Bangkalan, Madura. It ...
Short Escape to Madura 1 – Suramadu Bridge
Madura Island is not as famous as Bali. But recent development of Jembatan Suramadu (Suramadu Bridge) has been a magnet of attention to Madura as the new destination for investment and tourism.
