If yesterday was a day full of activities, then today is a day we ate the most varieties of food ranging from durian at a road side stall, satay under a tree, cup noodles and fried duck near a paddy field, to a well-recommended restaurant in the town of Malang, our destination.
This lady is selling breakfast from door to door. Mixed vegetables in thick peanut sauce and some half-boiled eggs too. I peeped at her from my window. We bought some eggs from her and they were just perfectly done !
A closer look at how she mixes the ingredients together.
View of the lake from far.
There is a small courtyard outside our room.
Horse ridding services for rent.
Yeah !! Off they go for a boat ride.
Despite having breakfast in the rest house, we were just in the mood for food today. So, we started scouting around for food while walking along the lake-side stalls.
According to our host, this stall sells the best durian they have ever tasted after two years staying in Indonesia.
Yummy ! Smile for the camera !
Then we bought a pomelo, some bananas.....
...and apples too. Due to its cooling weather, this place is famous for apple farms.
We have seen this type of satay stall throughout our journey in most tourist spots. So today, we decided to have a try.
The sauce is mixed to the meat first before BBQ it.
When in Rome, do what the Romans do.
So we sat around under a tree while waiting for our food to be served. Some of us had quill eggs too.
Here they are. Chicken and rabbit meat satay. Rp22,000 for 40 sticks, comes with some ketupat. (rice cake)
With stomach filled up, we headed straight to Malang. Today, we have to cover the longest stretch of road for our round Java trip.
It's about 1.30pm and no one is hungry yet because of the heavy breakfast we had. So we decided to have a light lunch, maybe cup noodles at the petro kiosk will do.
Guess what? When we have a toilet-stop, we found a nice little wooden stall selling just what we wanted : cup noodles ! But it came with a small surprise too : fried duck!
Enjoying a scenic view.
Preparing the sauce for fried duck with tomato, chili paste, belacan, and lime.
Trust me, this sauce tasted heavenly good!
Instant noodles with baso, a type of meat ball. What a feast he ended up with instead of a light lunch !
Took some pictures before we moved on again. It's going to be a long day traveling.
After a long day, we bump into this World Record -The Longest Drumming Marathon, 121 hours non- stop! Wow!
This event was being held in front of the city hall which is exactly opposite our accomodation for tonight - The Splendid Inn. So, we had a whole night of free music ( in actual fact it' s deafening drumming ). What a chance of a life time ! Bonus for today again.
We had dinner at this restaurant.
Like the way they tied the kain batik.
Simple and cosy.
In Indonesia, rice is always served in basket like this.
We had some simple Chinese cuisine. Good !
After a satisfying meal, all ready for bed.
