City Tour - Surabaya
2/15/2011 11:45:00 PM
I went for a city tour w/ my fellow rotaractors today..
Our first stop was House of Sampoerna, and just realized that the founder's and his wife surname, both are my surname.. how come? story? long story, but it was from my grandpa..
The growling tummies wanted to be filled up.. the next destination was just about 3 minutes walk... the lontong balap sampoerna, lontong balap cak pri.. which is very very delicious...
After filled up our tummies, we paid a visit to a temple (dunno which klenteng) at chocolate street (Mbah said Jl. Coklat, I'm not sure how to write it correctly so i said choco street), and saw people throwing coins with the rice and green bean... yeap.. it's Cap Go Meh.. Mbah talked to the "uncle" there and going home with lots of books about Buddha and Buddhist? (6 books if I'm not mistaken and I'm not really sure what books those are)...
The very next thing we did was wondering around at Kampung Arab Ampel... we sipped tauwa and tasted the maryam curry (gulai maryam).. it's so yummy!! even mbak Ika who doesn't like lamb (the meat) said it was delicious and tasted differently from the others she had ever eaten before...
We decided to end our journey sweetly.. We headed to Zangrandi, just to found it closed that day... (and mbak Ika said, "setauku Zangrandi itu tutupnya Selasa, ini kan Rabu to" after she thought it was Sunday earlier... LOLz - duh, mbak.. why don't you tell us earlier.. and it is Tues, not Sun nor Wed)...
Finally we ended our journey w/ eating pempek at Pempek Sriwijaya at... oh, I'm so good at memorizing the name of the street.. >.> well.. it's near the kembang jepun, somewhere behind the Santika Hotel.
what a day.. it was truly a priceless experience.. thanks to mb' Ika, Mbah, and Bram for the excitement I got! ^^
uhm.. pictures? it'd be on my facebook soon.. mbak Ika, Mbah, and Bram will surely tag my pics.. I wasn't taking any picture... (don't have a cam yet, except my cell cam) -well, i took some pics w/ Bram's- I'm in the pictures. :D
note: puter2nya nae motor, aku mbonceng.. motor lanang pisan,, dan aku pake dress.. yg klo duduk dadi ngeler pupu.. huahaha....
