Medan Trip Day 3

The third day was a relaxing day as we were tired from the journey the day before.

Must showoff my 'batik' bag. Hehe.

Went for breakfast at Awei which is located within walking distance from Swiss-Belhotel. 

Soursop juice, also known as 'Jus Sirsak' by the locals

'Mee Pansit'. Its something like the combination of 'Wantan noodles' and 'Kolo mee'  

Forgive me for the blur photo as my camera failed to focus. Some buttock washing instructions.

After checking out from the hotel, we went for a city tour with a 'beca', kinda the economy taxi there. It was a thrilling experience indeed.

'Beca'

First we visited the Tjong A Fie Mansion. We didn't enter but just looked around and snapped some photos. The entrance fee is 35000 Rupiah (approximately RM12) including tour guide. 

The second stop was Maimun Palace which is located not very far away from the mansion.

The last meal before heading to the airport. It's Nasi Padang again. Yummeh~

Souvenir from Medan. Delicious cheesy swiss roll. Everyone on out flight back was seen to carry at least one of these boxes.

Medan Trip Day 2

 The second day was Easter Sunday. We started the morning by a buffet breakfast at the hotel.

Flour-made easter bunnies and eggs.

Heading off to Berastagi (meaning rice store).

 Petrol kiosk in Medan.

We first had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. The food were delicious.

 The trilingual menu

Pork steak

 Assorted vegetables

 Taufu

Fried egg

The weather in Berastagi was chilly and kinda reminded me of Cameron Highlands with all the roadside stalls and strawberry farms. You can read more about Berastagi here. 

Dandelion. Alright, I focused on the grass instead. =.=

One can opt to have a horse ride here.

Pups for sales. So cute~

Souvenirs

We headed further to catch a glimpse of the famed Lake Toba.

The picturesque Lake Toba laid before our very eyes. Too bad it was raining then.

After our exhausting road trip, we had a satisfied Chinese dinner.

 The local 'satay' with different sauce and ingredients.

 The local 'char kuey teow'. Tasted a lot like the Penang ones.

 Fish head beehoon.

 Night view from the deck of the bar on highest floor of the hotel.
