Danau Toba

Hi! It's already 2months after Medan trip..and i have yet to complete it! Better late than never, kan. So here goes.....

The morning started with a simple yet unforgettable breakfast. Roti bakar with chocolate jem. I can still remember it's chocolatey taste and the yummy chocolate rice that comes with it. Huhuhu... a note to myself to smuggle out this kind of jem next time!




Here's what Dindi's family going to have for breakfast. And us being tempted by it, did have a few bites. Come on...who does not get tempted by this kind of good food? Pecal is infact one of my fave!

Dindi has obtained 2 van for the MPV, 1 of it comes with a driver while another one was driven by her bestfriend, Azka. We departed at 8.30am.



On the way, we stopped at Restoran Bahagia which serve Nasi Minang. No pics of food sorry! So hungry! After that, back on the road trip, the 3 of us keep dozing off on the way while Dindi kept Azka company.

Reached Danau Toba and stayed at this place called "Istana Bung Karno"

A nice place with magnificent view

fairytale comes alive




public beach

rainbow!

The place we stayed also can be considered a historical place as it was once used by President Sukarno. ;D

same chair? :D

Unfortunately, that time was a wrong timing as it is still school holiday + public holiday(10 Juli), so it is quite crowded. Dindi tried to sneak us in the private beach spot which is attached to a hotel. Normally, she can get it for 20k Rupiah, but this time, the security wanted to charge us 100k RP. In the end, not wanting to give in to him as seems he is taking advantage on the peak season and charging us extensively, we went back to the public beach near the bungalow but it started to drizzle. So azleena , M n me heads back to the house to finish our manga udang which we bought on the way searching for a good beach spot. As the rain slowed down later on, we went back, but not for a deep in the water, instead for photo seasion. ;)

Cewek atau Cowok

After filling our stomach with the delicious Es Kolak Durian and Es Pulut Durian, we followed Dindi to her In-Law’s house for a stop over. Dindi’s sister in law, Winda who were at home with her kids greeted us. Upon learning that her name is Winda, I got excited. Back home, my mom like to watch this Sinetron called Benci Bilang Cinta. The main roles are called Dimas and Winda. Guess what, Dindi’s brother is also named Dimas! Hihihi. What a cute coincidence!

Anyway…. While we were there, the real life Winda suggested that we try Sate Padang. I thought that she is suggesting us to made a stop at the stall on our way back, but, she got a better idea and bought it for us instead!! Thank you Winda!

Sedap Kali!!!Garing!

Jemput makan!

Oh... we also watched this programme called Cewek atau Cowok? It's a game show where a few chosen girls and guys, got dressed up as girls and the contestant need to guess who is the real girl and who is an imposter. :P

Finally, we head back to Dindi's house but not before making a last stop at a mall.

Kepudur Kepingin

As shared in the first post ... , the bait that lure us to Medan is KEPUDUR a.k.a KEdai PUlut DUrian.. Anything about Durian made Azleena an easy target, while for me, anything involve travelling, especially if we will have a host to guide is around, is a thing not to be missed! :P

But lo and behold......................................................... the morning that we arrived, as we were doing the ice-breaking after being picked by Dindi, she break us the news. KEPUDUR is closed temporarily! Boooo hooo hooo. Dindi can't find someone who can maintain the store permanently yet, so, she had to close it for a while. Oh No! How now?

Of course we throw a tantrum and demand Dindi to take us to KEPUDUR by hook or by crook! ;P

Hihi. Dindi, being the best host, does not want to dissapoint us. So, she brought us to another place somewhere around USU (Universitas Sumatera Utara).

someone is clearly happy


The owner



The photographer

The .....erm...victim?

Ohhhhh la laaa...

Slurp

Weeeee

Tadaaaaaaaa

Happiness multiply 100

:Blink:

So, KEPUDUR, will you wait for our return again? ;P

Pasar Petisah Pasar Ikan

As the the trip is quite short, we waste no time and head to Pasar Petisah right after our brunch. That would be just a few hours after landing in Medan. Bravo girls!

As we shop, I found that the blouse in Medan is relatively more expensive than Tanah Abang, Jakarta. According to Dindi, it's because the shops here get the supply from Jakarta too. It's lucky that Dindi accompanied us, as she can really bargain well. ;) We bought a few blouses which range from IDR 60,000 to IDR 150,000.

Marlina feeling contented being in the shopping heaven ;P

A few hours later, we got thirsty and.....look! Teh Botol! :D

The last shop.

For prayers, we made a stop at Masjid Raya. According to Wikipedia, Masjid Raya a.k.a the Great Mosque of Medan was built in 1906 in the Moroccan style by the Dutch architect Dingemans. It was such a big and spacious mosque.

We wanted to buy telekung(the women's prayer outfit), but those at Petisa were mostly priced around IDR300,000(RM108). Thus, Dindi suggested that we change the location to Pasar Ikan, which on the other hand, have telekung as low as IDR40, 000 to IDR120, 000. (IDR 50 = RM18).

So, that's the end of the shopping frenzy, and after this, we are more ready for the real deal of Medan. Yosh!
