Malang is nicknamed as the city of apples, therefore, there are many variants of typical food from Malang that are not far from the basic ingredients of apples, such as: apple cider drinks, strudel with apple filling, apple chips, apple sticks, apple pia, dodo lapel, and many others that are all apples.
Therefore, on my last day in Malang, I went to Gudang Oleh-Oleh, which is one of the places where tourists usually go to buy souvenirs. After finishing breakfast with a portion of Malang's speciality pecel rice, I ordered a taxi to the address listed on the google map.
Only about 10 kilometres away, I finally arrived at Gudang Oleeh-Oleh.
Since seven years ago, this place hasn't changed. From the front view, there is a large canopy that protects the terrace from the sun. There is also a small bridge that hovers over a pond filled with ornamental fish such as Kooi fish and others. To my amazement, this pond always seemed to be clean every time I visited. The fish pond is also simply shaped, however, on the left and right sides of this artificial pond are planted with plants that look healthy and refreshing.
On the right side of the outer door, there is a very iconic statue. A statue of a man with a moustache carrying a cardboard box that reads GOL (which stands for Gudang Oleh-Oleh in Malang, East Java). Please note, the male figure with batik cloth, dark coloured beskap clothes, and a moustache of blangkon fibre as a head covering, is a phenomenal figure of an original Indonesian character named Si Unyil. Well, the man is called Pak Raden. The statue of Pak Raden and the boxes of souvenirs have become an icon for Gudang Oleh-Oleh.
For the door area, it uses colourful painted glass material, and if you look inside, above the colourful door there are beautiful paintings. Not only that, at the very front after the entrance is the waiting area. There are several seats available here. However, you should take a look at this abstract wooden display that also looks beautiful. It is made from the roots of a large tree, usually the wood craftsmen will make aesthetic roots for display. Like this one in Gudang Oleh-Oleh.
- A Touch of Ornaments in the Waiting Room
Another ornament that I would like to highlight is the roof of this room. Can you see a row of paper umbrellas of various colours and patterns hung upside down? Well, it's beautiful isn't it> so, the roof doesn't have a boring empty space. Everything feels very aesthetic here.
Not finished there, on each side of the umbrellas, there are wooden decorations of the same length, and they are installed in parallel to become a kind of frame for the paper umbrellas.
I enjoyed all the details in this room.
- Ornaments in Other Rooms
Entering the main room, of course, there are shelves lined up with all the products they sell. However, there was one area that had some sort of chain barrier, which of course meant that the display items inside that area were very valuable. A large painting of a group of white doves perched on a pohoon branch with pink leaves. On the right and left sides, there are metre-high jars that are full of paintings and look expensive. Down below, there are lots of small statues, as well as short urns that look just as precious. So it's appropriate that this small area is given a chain barrier, so that visitors do not carelessly approach.
In addition to food products, here are also sold a variety of wooden crafts that can be used for household needs, as well as some are wooden crafts that can be used as interior displays at home, such as: wooden monils, wooden bicycles, there is also a wooden ship and many other types with various prices.
Hi, I am the child of the universe, I like to read books with various genres. I was born in the city of batik but can't draw batik yet. I want to be a novelist, but my works are only short poems that are included in anthology books.

Wow! such a great variety of items to choose from, I think I would spend several hours looking at each area of the store, the wooden cars are my favorite.

I also don't feel bored waiting for my group to finish shopping, I just wander around and wander around after determining my destination

I've been to Malang quite often but never go there. Will make a visit next time I am going there.
Yes, this is recommended for buying souvenirs. and if you want to relax and drink coffee, right in front of this building there is also a coffee shop with a vintage style interior
This place has some memories that you could take away totally unique! those colors of the place, the design makes it very pleasing to the eye! and I loved the Koi fish.
