TIPS

Medan has the shopping facilities of any big city including many malls.
If you’re after more specialist items then Jl Yani has a collection of antique shops which sell all kinds of Batak, Acehneses, Minang and Javanese antiquities.

For clothes try Monginsidi Plaza or ‘Monza’ as the locals say. This collection of vendors has mostly Indonesian sized garments but even if you’re larger you can still enjoy browsing at how the local people keep themselves well dressed. If you do purchase something remember to haggle.

In Medan’s Chinatown around Jl Sutomo you will find everything from heavy machinery to toiletries. Make sure you keep an eye on your things though as pickpockets are common.

Medan is famous for producing some of the best bika ambon in Indonesia. This is a delicious cake made of rice flour. Visit Jalan Majapahit for the best selection bika ambon and marquisa syrup. These make great gifts for family back home.
