Just back from Medan yesterday, the trip is so awesome !!
EeSoon, thanks !!
Let's begin my photo story ~
Had our breakfast at Oldtown in LCCT...
I ordered Enriched Hot Chocolate and Ipoh Ho Fun.
The best hot chocolate ever in my life !! So nice !!
Love this drink so much.
=======================================================
We arrived Kuala Namu International Airport in Deli Serdang...
Surprisingly we were not only four of us but also included some of the other friends in the trip.
Hmmm....
Our Tour Guide, Benny brought us to Restaurant Simpang Tiga for our second round breakfast !! LOL !!
They also stopped at the Patent Shop to let us buy their local biscuit products such as Teng Teng, Tong Tong and so on. I bought Teng Teng & Tong Tong for my family. They tasted quite sweet and I'm not really into it. =X
We got the chance to try their local traditional Malay Cuisine for our lunch.
AHHHHHHHH !! I'm in LOVE with you !!!
The weather is very chilling and the view of the Lake Toba is so amazing !!
After we checked in to Danau Toba Cottage Hotel Parapat, we went to explore the beautiful view around the Lake Toba.
WOW !! I was falling in love with the scenery !!
We were having our dinner at one of the Malay Restaurant in town then we moved back to our Hotel.
Some of us were craving for the WiFi connection but sadly the services only available at the swimming pool or the restaurant. We were back to our room to rest after our "pillow talk" haha...
Second Day in the morning....
We were having our breakfast at the restaurant provided by the hotel.
The Fried Bihun tasted so yummy !! I want more !!
After our breakfast, we took the ferry boat to cross the lake to Samosir Island. Benny told us it took us for around 45 minutes to arrive the Island which located in the middle of the Lake Toba.
In Samosir Island, we visited Tomok Village and we explored The Tomb of King Sidabutar which been made from carved stone from the hundred years ago. Besides, we also visited Ambarita Village to see the Ancient Stone Chairs. Based on the information given, there was a group of Toba Batak people of Ambarita practise a form of Cannibalism.
We took the same ferry boat to go back to Parapat and heading to Brastagi.
During the half way of heading to Brastagi, Benny brought us to the stop station located at Simarjarunjung. We were having our high tea session - Ginger Tea and their local Fried Banana and at the same time we could enjoy the view of the Lake Toba.
Then, we stopped at the Unique Sipiso-piso Waterfall which is located in Tongging. The waterfall is having 120 meters long according to Benny.
WOW !!
We transferred to Sibayak Hotel Berastagi which is located in Brastagi Town for our second night.
Dinner time !!!
After our dinner, we went back to our room to get bath and some of us went to the lobby to get their WiFi services, LOL !!
The hotel also gave us the Karaoke Vouchers. We went to explore the place but it is a hall type karaoke and we went back to the lobby for WiFi. LOL !! I still remembered the weather during the night was so freezing !!
=======================================================
Third day in the morning....
We had our breakfast in the hotel with our breakfast vouchers.
After that we went to a local street market.
I love the weather. I love the colorful fruits and vegetables.
My friend bought a local steam "jagung" (Sweet Corn) and I got sharing half of it with my friend. Thank you !! =D
Then, we took our bus ride moving to one of the famous Large Pagoda located in Taman Alam Lumbini.
We also stopped by the roadside to taste their local Durian ~
After that we went for this Fashion Outlet that selling a lot of cheap clothes.
Burrrrrrberrrryyyyy ~
Not to forget we also went to Sun Plaza but the place is very bored for us and we just hang out at a cafe in the mall.
One of the famous drink in Indonesia, Es Teller ~
I love to eat their Avocado, so yummy !!
On the third night, we had been transferred to the 5 stars Hotel, Aryaduta Hotel Medan and checked in to put our luggage. A group of us went out for second round food hunting at the Merdeka Walk nearby the Hotel.
=======================================================
Fourth day in the morning....
Yuhooo !! We went for breakfast in this 5 stars hotel !!

I will never missed out their Porridge...
Self choose ingredient, simple but delicious !!
Egg station, one of my favorite place too !!
Cendol, Apple Yogurt and some fruit as our dessert !!
In this fourth day, Benny brought us to one of the Batik Shop which is located in Pasar Ikan Lama also known as the Traditional Market in town. After that we went for massage center (Heritage Spa) to try their local massage for 2 hours. =D
Then, we went to Medan Mall for window shopping and some explore activities but also to settle our lunch.
Teh Botol and their local cuisine - Ayam Penyet for the lunch of the day !!
The Ayam Penyet is so crispy and so nice to eat !!
The Medan town is always very crowded during the weekends ~
We proceed with our itinerary in Maimoon Palace which is located in the main center of the Medan City. The entrance ticket costs 5,000 Rupiah per person.
At night, we went to explore the mall which is located beside our Hotel and we also settled our dinner in the food court. =D
=======================================================
Last day in Medan....
Aww so sad !! Time flies ~
After our breakfast, Benny just sent us to the airport earlier to avoid any delay.
A&W as our lunch of the day ~
Good bye Medan !!! =)
I'm very happy and so enjoyed for this trip, I wish I can go for another trip like this in the future !! By the way I love their time difference during my trip in Indonesia because I felt the trip is slower than usual. The time in Indonesia is one hour earlier if compared to the time in Malaysia. Hehe...
Once again, thanks to the organizer !! Louu you... =D
