Gemblong campur was simple and delicious appetizers. You should try this food when you are around Pekalongan. Located onfront of toko mas griya Walet Pekalongan.

Gemblong di Pekalongan ini beda, tidak seperti gemblong yang pernah kucoba di daerah jawa timur. Gemblong disini, terdiri dari tetel, klepon tanpa baluran kelapa, serundeng manis, santan, gula merah dan rasanyaaaa enaaaaaaakkkkkk!! Harga 6ribu utk 1 porsi. Wajib banget sih nyobain gemblong Pekalongan

Setiap mudik ke Pekalongan wajib kesini. Gemblong favorit di pekalongan. Biasanya kalau makan gemblong sakit perut ga kuat dgn santannya tapi kalau makan gemblong yg di sini perut aman. Perpaduan rasanya enak, manisnya pas. Klepon, jaddah, ketan semua pas lembutnya. Kalau datang waktu liburan/peak season lebih baik datang lebih awal atau bisa pesan dulu via wa supaya kebagian krn cepat habis.

Dah lama nggak makan gemblong, akhirnya nyobain lagi. Rasanya enak, legit, & bikin nostalgia. Saran, mungkin lebih baik kalau ibu penjual memakai sarung tangan saat menyajikan, biar makin higienis. Terima kasih ya bu, sukses terus jualannya

Salah satu tempat jualan gemblong di Pekalongan. Untuk wisatawan yg singgah atau berkunjung atau cari yang gampang cukup worth it. Harga 6k/ porsi tapi porsi kecil Santan enak dan kental. Bisa dine in atau take away. Untuk parkir ada jukirnya, jadi mungkin kurang worth it kalau beli dikit, Untuk rasa enak, tp bagi yg berat karena harga tidak sesuai porsi mungkin bisa cari di pasar tiban biasanya ada
