This is my second time in Medan. .
First Medan trip was one of the memorable one as for that trip, I combined my family vacation with friends. Dindi is our friend from Medan who was our degree coursemate, and it had been 2 years since our graduation, and we finally got to plan our rombongan to visit Dindi and her hometown.
This Second Medan trip, was initiated from Durian crave! Dindi and I were chattin in Fbook, and suddenly... tadaaa.... I found myself caught in the Durian feva... I had to taste Es.durian Dindi mentioned. Well... and I miss her :P And my crazy adhoc plan got Zue and Mar's attention....
(2 famous places) = Pajak Petisah + Pajak Ikan (tp jual kain2) :D
be reminded, it's quite expensive compared to Bandung / Jakarta... but slightly cheaper than the one back here...the key to get a reasonable price is to really bargain :D
Some of the Foods we had::
One of the Kedai yg sedap sotonya dan popular kt Medan:
ES DURIAN
Actually dindi owns a Kepudur Stall (Kedai Pulut Durian) selling varieties of desserts made from Durian... but her stall was closed temporarily. Her stall is kinda similar to this one. This stall belongs to a guy Dindi deals with for Durian supply: (Look at the Menu :P)
We dont have this exactly same dessert back in Msia. But to sum up this sweetie..... Its like Pulut Durian + Ais Kacang/ ABC + Chendol all put together in one bowl! Kebahagiaan yang Tripple !!!
Can u seee the floating durian :D This is Es.Kolak Durian. The difference with Es.Pulut Durian is this one, added with chunk of grilled bananas.
SATE PADANG
Dindi's Sis-in-Law tapau this for us :-) So nice of her...
LEMANG
This one... erm...actually I forgot the real name :P but it has Lemang served together - for breakfast - at Dindi's place. We stayed at her place except on the day we spent in Danau Toba of course :-)
LAKE TOBA / DaNaU ToBa:
We stayed in this villa where President Sukarno had once made it his resting place. We felt honored to have experienced a sense of history :-)
The view around Toba.
Ouh how I miss swimming n playing in the lake....
This time around, we went around... feast on the "Mangga Udang" (small cute mangoes)... and made ourselves busy with our cameras :D
These boats are means of transportation to Pulau Samosir a.k.a Tomok.
SAMOSIR @ tomok
Rented a boat... we went in a group, together with Dindi's friends and staff :-) 12 of us altogether.

Besides the Batak Museum, cultural display + shows, this place is popular for the sorvenir shops.
Going back to Medan and to Dindi's house, we are welcomed back by this sweet lil girl, Tara (Dindi's niece) :-) very kiut and intelligent girl.
Special thanx to all her family members for the hospitality and not forgetting Azka, for driving us to Toba ;-) We (Zue, Mar and I) will be delighted to be the host in Penang next time.
Dindi, Looking forward to your visit in future. Miss you :-)

stay hotel di mana masa kat medan hari tu?
Tak stay hotel... duduk rumah member :-) Kalau duduk hotel kt Medan, leh pusing2 medan dan leh try cari tourguide utk bawa ke Brastagi (perjalanan 2 jam), leh patah balik dan stay kt pekan medan balik. But kalau nak gi Danau Toba, suggested utk stay kt sana semalam/more... sbb perjalanan ke sana aja dalam 4jam lebih dpend pada trafik :) so sbaiknya masa di Toba cr penginapan kt sana jg :) hotel/resort kt sana byk jgk :D
