A Week in Manado - Part 3

After our visit to Linouw Lake, we continued on to Bukit Doa Tomohon (Tomohon Prayer Hill). It was a hill top with breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, with a chapel perched at the top. This whole area is privately owned, and it is the same owner as Linouw Lake.

It started drizzling so we didn't stay there for too long. We got a bit hungry, so we moved on to our next stop, Gardenia Country Inn. Apparently this inn was also owned by the same person as the other two. True to their name, their main attraction is a large garden area with countless types of flowers, most of them blooming at the time. I wonder if they bloom all year long. 

On the other side, their food was not that great. And it took forever to arrive. So I would recommend anyone to travel here to see the garden and have some drinks, but don't come hungry and better eat elsewhere.

She confiscated my phone and took lots of pictures


Our real dinner was supposed to be Ragey (pork belly satay) at Ragey Von Von but they were closed. :( So we went to Ragey Roy across the street. It was good, but not as good. 



We drove back to Manado after dinner just in time to catch sunset. I was not feeling that great so I stayed behind in the apartment while DH and my cousin went.









Stay tuned for more! Next is Lihaga Island

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
