Dreamy Europe Trip Summer 2024 - Part 2 Munich Germany

I <3 Munich sign

When we flew to Europe, we actually landed in Frankfurt. However, everyone that I asked about Frankfurt said that there’s nothing to see there and we would be better off going elsewhere immediately.  So we listened and we immediately took the train from the airport to Munich. The German trains are infamous for being tardy, and in our experience while in Germany, it was true. Anyway this first train from Frankfurt to Munich was less than an hour late so it’s not too bad LOL.

We arrived in Munich still in the morning, from the station we took the tram to our hotel. That day DH was wearing his souvenir T-Shirt from Medan, and while on the tram, someone approached and greeted him in Indonesian! Apparently this German guy used to live in Indonesia for a while. :D

In Munich we stayed at Citadines Arnulfpark Munich, booked via Traveloka. I was surprised that the rate for this hotel was much lower in Traveloka compared to the other websites. When we checked in there was another Indonesian family also checking in. Maybe they also found it through Traveloka :D Though I can’t say it’s luxurious, the hotel was quite nice. We love the pretzels that they give out for free in the morning. They were just hanging on the check-in counter for grabs.

Not wanting to waste time, right after we dropped off our luggages in our room we ventured out. We did have a meet-up with a friend who used to live in Jakarta but is now living in Munich. She’s an amazing photographer, by the way. If you ever find yourself in Munich and need a photographer, do contact Marina from Hey Bella Photo!




We explored old town Munich and visited the Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt, and walked around the park near the Residenz Muenchen. We had Bavarian food, tried some fruits, got rained on, and took lots of pictures. It was a great first day!

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: ...
