Menu Overview

If you find yourself craving authentic East Javanese flavors, Kupang Kraton H. Yanto in Malang is a must-visit destination. Nestled on Jl. Laksda Adi Sucipto, this restaurant offers a unique culinary journey centered around kupang, a petite shellfish native to Java’s coastal waters. The restaurant captures the essence of traditional Nusantara ingredients with an innovative touch that intrigues every palate.

The standout dish here is undoubtedly the Lontong Kupang. This dish combines tender kupang with rice cakes (lontong), served in a flavorful, spiced broth rich with local herbs, creating a perfect balance between earthiness and subtle seafood brininess. It carries the typical Sidoarjo heritage but brought straight to Malang’s vibrant food scene, making it a rare find for kupang enthusiasts.

For those with a sweet tooth, the Es Teler Triple Durian offers a luscious experience. The durian’s creamy aroma mingles with coconut milk, avocado, jackfruit, and crushed ice, producing a refreshing and decadent treat. Durian lovers will also appreciate the Es Campur Durian and Jus Durian, which highlight the fruit’s rich texture and complex flavor.

Other highlights include the Sate Kerang dan Lento, showcasing grilled shellfish and traditional lentho fritters that are crispy outside yet soft and savory inside. These side dishes offer a delightful interplay of textures and flavors that enhance the main courses.

Patrons like Usman Fanani find this spot perfect for kupang hunting, appreciating its accessibility in Malang rather than the more common Sidoarjo or Pasuruan. Meanwhile, reviews from ASA Andita and Andi Wahyudi emphasize the uniqueness and deliciousness of the menu, reflecting the genuine regional taste without overwhelming complexity.

While the parking space is somewhat limited, as noted by Agung Purwanto, the culinary experience justifies a little extra effort. Kupang Kraton H. Yanto invites food lovers to explore traditional Javanese breakfast and dessert options, blending authentic seafood delicacies with tropical sweetness that resonate deeply within Indonesia’s rich food culture.
