Nasi Liwet for Lunch

Posted on the April 23rd, 2010 under Traveling & Holidays by papabear

Continuing from Rumah Stroberi…

Many readers have asked about the Nasi Liwet. What is Nasi Liwet? It is quite difficult for me to explain but all I can say is that it tasted really good. Anyway, you can click this Google link to read more about it: Nasi Liwet.

I have some pictures of the Nasi Liwet set that we ordered on that day. The rice was the main dish and from there on you can add whatever else that you like such as, grilled fish, grilled chicken, grilled lamb and many others. Basically, you can eat it with varieties of other dishes but believe me, it tasted great on its own as well. It was something like our Nasi Lemak but still it had something in it that made it unique…

Here you go. That was our Nasi Liwet and some of the other dishes that came with the set. A set for 4 people was only IDR110,000 (RM40 or USD 12). A very reasonable price for such tasty food.

Here are some photos of Pasha. The first one was taken after we were done with our strawberry picking (the entry on this would be published later. Sabar ya…). The last picture was one of the cats that made their home there. Pasha had a wonderful time playing with those cats and he stopped until that cat in the picture gave him a couple of scratches… Meoowww!

And lastly, for this entry but not the last for this Bandung trip, more pictures showing the surrounding of the Rumah Stroberi. One thing for sure was that it had lots of space for kids to run around…

Stay tuned for the entry about strawberry picking… Coming soon!

Rumah Stroberi

Continuing from Bandung – Looking for strawberry farm…

Rumah Stroberi or directly translated to English as Strawberry House was a place that worth the trouble and a long climb up the hill to get there. The place was highly suitable for a family getaway and to us, apart from the scenery, the strawberry picking and the delicious Nasi Liwet were the highlights of the place…

Take a look at some of the pics that we took over there. See all the greens surrounding the place. Pasha loved it a lot as he got to explore the place and not to mention that the whole place was clean and well maintained. Cantik kan?

There were lots of flowers around the place and I would be posting that in another entry and there were also strawberries that you can pick and that would be in another entry as well… Tunggu…

Now, enjoy the rest of the pictures. I like that wheel and I don’t know why… Look at the backgrounds. They were lots of green colors around… a far cry from the concrete jungle of Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur…

Till the next entry, stay tuned…

Bandung – Looking for strawberry farm

Posted on the April 23rd, 2010 under Traveling & Holidays by papabear

On 23/04/2010 we went to Bandung to attend Tity Sweets wedding at Kota Baru Parahyangan. Unfortunately, our camera ran out of battery and therefore, we did not have any photos taken by our camera. We did take some photos using some other people’s camera but we have yet to see our pictures surfaced anywhere… Macam la ada orang nak publish gambar kita orang ni…

Anyway, after we were done with the wedding, we decided to look for some strawberry farms. The first option was a farm called All About Strawberry. Unfortunately, when we got there, they had run out of strawberry to pick. So, we decided to look for another farm called the Rumah Stroberi (Strawberry House).

Before we began our adventure drive looking for the strawberry farms, we stopped for a quick lunch just outside of the housing complex where Tity Sweets live. We decided to go for an economy Japanese Restaurant. The food was so-s0 but then compared to the price we paid for them, it was not that bad…

Pasha was busy playing with the tractor that he got from Tity Sweets as his birthday present. He was preoccupied with picking up batteries with his new toy and once in a while stopped for a sip of Teh Botol, the famous Indonesian soft drink. It’s tea with jasmine flavor and excellent when served chilled…

Then we went for our farm hunting and as mentioned above, we had to go for the second option, which was the Rumah Stroberi. It was a long journey as we had no maps, no Internet access over the phone to check the Google Maps and no GPS as I have not downloaded the Indonesian map into my Garmin Mobile XT. Jadi redah je la…

After stopping a few times asking for directions, we finally made it to the place. In the last picture, you can see Mama Pasha alighting from the minivan as we arrived at our destination…
