Culinary :: Pork and Indonesian Food > Magelang ~ Central Java ~ Indonesia

Today, me, my brother and my sister-in-law decided to buy delivery for roasted pork and Pork with Soy Sauce from my brother's friend. We curious how it taste.

It's not to cheap, so we decided to buy 2 kind of meal only IDR 50.000. And, because we are afraid that the portion is too small, so we decided to buy some meal from one of famous stand that serve Indonesian food, located near Tukangan Market. They serve fried noodle, vegetables stir fry, and etc. We buy Fried Noodle, and Jangan Jipang / Labu Siam, or famous with Chayote only for IDR 2.000 each.

And... the roasted pork and soy sauce pork is really serve in small portion. Maybe only for 1 person.

I think the pork meal is not too tasty.

We go there by car. But our Thai friends said, that if we want to go here by BTS or MRT, you can stop at MRT Kamphaengphet station. It located in the back of the market.

But if you want to go from the front side, you can go to MRT Chatuchak Park or 5 minutes walk from BTS Mo Chit station.

And the Chatuchak Park is so large. I don't know how large is it, but when I saw it, I thought that I prefer stop from MRT Kamphaengphet Station.

It's not enough for 1 day to explore each place. I thought, I only walk for 1/4 area. And the hot weather didn't help at all. It's too hot. But the stuff here is so cheap. If you really love shopping, I think you have to spend whole weekend in here.

I found the map, but I forgot to whom it may belong. So just to inform that this is not mine.

Wuyi Holiday, Jiuzhaigou Trip with friends# Sichuan - China

In China, there'e 3 long holiday. 1st is Chinese New Year, 2nd is Labor Day at 1st May, and 3rd is China's Independent Day 1st October.

The 1st May is coming, and we have 1 week holiday. Today, is the last day of our school. So we decided to join tour to Jiuzhaigou. We take tour from some travel agent which open at the ground floor of our dorm.

Me and my friends, there's 18 people, gathering at the dorm lobby in the afternoon, then take bus to Beijing Capital International Airport. The shuttle bus already include in the tour.

During our ride, we passed some road that we seldom go.

We arrived at Chengdu at night. And because this is a cheap tour, don't expect some 4/5 stars hotel. :) It's really different with one that you take tour from your country. It's local tour, with Chinese Guide.

Time to sleep and ready for the next day.
