after that, we goin home, on the way home, we stop at near by post office, Solo.. theres a place selling jagung & pisang bakar / roast corn & banana (is it roast or bbq?). its not a shop or restaurant, they just on the side of the street.. in the walk way, they put a traditional carpet, so people can sit there and enjoy their snacks. the taste can be salty, sweet, spicy, chocolate, and mix

hand gift from Solo

one of the famous hand gift if you went to Solo is, Orion Mandarijn Cake. i don’t now why people like to buy this cake. but yea, my relative in Jakarta like it so much ;) and me too ;p
Orion is a bakery shop since long time ago. my first time i go inside this bakery shop, i smell something nice.. and that’s the smell of mandarin cake ^o^ so nice.. love it ;) felt so warm (~~)
but don’t be worry, inside there got a lot of cakes, snacks, tidbits, even got traditional hand made, usually tourist like to buy for souvenir, etc.. all nice foods ;p hehehe.. but the prize kinda expensive.. so i just buy some of the snacks and cake..

jagungan

another day (which i don’t know when), my friend fetch me and we went to wapo (warung pojok) at solo baru.. and my first impression with this place is.. sooo many advertisement in this shop, hahaha.. when i sit, they wrap the table with adv, then i open the menu, inside there got ‘special’ pages for adv, hahahahah… hmm, they smart, coz they can get extra money when people adv there… oh btw, i heard, one of the adv there is their relative, so, hmm.. hehehe.. but i think its too much @@ when i go to restaurant, i expect to see the picture of the “FOODS” not the adv.. ;) its more professional ;)
they have jagung, pisang bakar, etc.. and my friend said, the nasi bungus is nice, but i didn’t take that one, im full from home @@...

Pulau Ubin, Singapore.
kalian pernah dengar "Pulau Ubin"? ini adalah salah satu pulau kecil diujung kanan atas Singapore. pulau ini sudah menjadi salah satu tempat wisata Singapore, banyak sekali orang asing (western people) datang ke sini untuk jalan-jalan.



prepared;
~ makanan
~ minuman
~ sun block
~ baju ganti (alternative)
~ uang secukupnya ($30-50 is more than enough, kalau cuma mau jalan-jalan disana)
~ camera (dengan baterai FULL/yang cukup)
~ HP full baterai juga (incase kalo camera kehabisan baterai)
~ umbrella (if u want)

kalian perlu pergi ke Changi ferry terminal, bisa naik dari MRT terdekat menuju ke Tanah Merah. lalu lanjut naik bus (no.2) ke Changi Village, dan jalan dikit ke changi ferry terminal (turun ke lantai bawah, soalnya yang di lantai atas nampak seperti tidak ada kehidupan)

2nd floor view changi ferry terminal


kalian musti ngantri dan tunggu di check point ke Pulau Ubin, soalnya ferry/kapal tidak akan berangkat apabila penumpangnya belum berjumlah 12.
prize; 2$/person
on the boat; 1o minutes
prepared; enough foods and drinks, dan disana ada store juga kalau kalian lupa bawa.

check point/waiting room


waiting room (bisa liat departure & arrival hall)


@ boat


hal pertama yang perlu dilakukan adalah, ke information center dulu, dan tanya apa saja yang bisa dijelajahi. lalu kalian bisa rent sepeda. avaliable dari harga $6 - $1o, tergantung jenis sepedanya. bisa kalian tawar juga kalo kalian rent beberapa.

welcome


information center


rental


pulau ini cukup besar untuk dijelajahi. so, just prepare your self buat seharian disana ;) dan disini banyak sekali yang bisa kalian lihat dan foto. tapi, yang paling asik dari perjalanan di pulau ini adalah cycling dan menikmati pemandangan diluar kesibukan kota/negara Singapore. dan mungkin kalo cuma dilihat dari foto, Pulau Ubin kurang gitu menarik. tapi kalian HARUS merasakannya sendiri, lalu kalian akan bilang "i love this land" ;) dan foto-foto yang aku post hanya side yang kanan aja (lihat map dibawah).
