Shopping Malls
A Local's Guide To Mall Olympic Garden (MOG), Malang's Largest Shopping Mall
The number of contemporary shops inside Mall Olympic Garden (MOG) quickly surpasses that of other previously well-known Malang shopping malls, such as Matos. So, it's no wonder that MOG has become the largest shopping mall in Malang. Its direct connection to Gajayana football stadium, the first and oldest football stadium in Indonesia, puts MOG in an even more advantageous location. It's well connected to public transpote routs. Whenever I board a Malang bus and stop at Indomaret Banjarum a.k.a. Karanglo or Alfamart Kendedes, the Grab app always shows me a cost of only around 20,000 IDR (approximately 1.23 USD) to go to MOG's main entrance. You can expect everything to be colorful in MOG's fashion stores. Authentic Malang eateries can also be found everywhere here. You can even enjoy ready-to-eat meals and local snacks in Central Market's supermarket area! Want to learn more about the experiences you can expect in MOG? Continue reading for a local's guide to Mall Olympic Garden (MOG), Malang's largest shopping mall!

Top Food Items From Malang, Indonesia, You Should Buy On Your Next Visit: A Local's Recommendations
Malang is famous for its delicious green apple products, which are made fresh and are of excellent quality. Almost all Malang food oleh-oleh (gift) items are made from green apples! Additionally, products made with tempeh as the main ingredient are highly popular among tourists. The Sanan region of Malang is particularly renowned for its tempeh production, which is sold in various supermarkets throughout Malang on a consignment basis. The popularity of their tempeh products is such that they have even entered markets in other East Javanese areas! It's not just savory dishes either; even sweet desserts such as pies made from tempeh are available from non-Sanan small and medium enterprises. But that's not all! Malang's food gifts are not limited to green apples and tempeh products. Check out my recommended list of top food items from Malang, Indonesia, you should buy on your next visit.

Batu Night Spectacular In Indonesia: A Must-Visit Theme Park For The Nocturnal

Things To Do
Segara Anakan, Malang: An Exotic Lagoon Off The Beaten Path
It's always interesting to talk about places in East Java, Indonesia. This eastern part of Java Island, located right next to Bali, is best known for its active volcano Mount Bromo, archaeological sites in Mojokerto, theme parks in Batu, and of course, the fast developing modern capital city of Surabaya, which is the 2nd largest city in the country. However, not so many people know that the southern part of Malang regency has many hidden areas of paradise that are very interesting to explore, including one of the most beautifully hidden lagoons on earth, Segara Anakan!
Historical Places
Historical Gems From Mid 20th Century In Malang, East Java
If you’ve been to Surabaya, you’ve probably heard about its sister city, Malang. It is only a 30-minute drive away from the center of Indonesia’s second largest city, so it makes sense that the same language is spoken and the culture is similar. What’s unique about Malang, however, is how it is enriched with culture, considering it is only a satellite city of Surabaya. I spent two weeks here, and the first thing I noticed was the architecture of some of the buildings. So, I did a little digging and found out that they were influenced by the Dutch. That should come as no surprise, considering the 350 years of Dutch occupancy in Indonesia. Yep, you read that right, three and a half centuries. I searched through some of the oldest and most historical tourism spots in Malang, which date back to the mid 20th century, and found these four places you should definitely visit while you’re in town.
Cultural Tours
Witness The Culture And Religious Harmony At Mount Kawi, Malang, Indonesia
Pesarean Gunung Kawi (a sacred tomb) is located atop a village that’s 3000 meters above the sea level on the slope of Mount Kawi. This is another very interesting destination to visit in the Malang area. The uniqueness of Mount Kawi has attracted many people to visit. They come mainly for vacation, but for some believers of animism called Kejawen, it is a pilgrimage site.
