The man: Ibu, I'm so hungry. Your crispy 'pisang goreng' looks tasty.
The lady: Help yourself, I could use a glass of cold 'cendol' too :)
Pisang goreng is an Indonesian snack, it's a banana covered in flour and deeply fried with oil. And cendol is a Javanese traditional drink/dessert contains coconut milk. Both are not exactly healthy, but taste yummy! One wouldn't kill you :)
Following my previous Thursday post, this was the pendopo's ceiling. I found the lines very interesting.
I know many of you have shown your city's mailbox. This is how ours look like. 'Bissurat' is an old term for it, which means a bus for your mails :). But still written on all the boxes. Most people call it 'kotak surat' (mailbox) nowadays. Anyway, when using Indonesian post services, I prefer to just go to the post office and mail my letter from there to make sure it gets to the desired destination.
Following my previous post, this is how tenun ikat from Lombok looks like when it's finished.
Taken from a bridge. It was not a rush hour time.
McDonald's ought to use this as their ad campaign! Cause this picture says that junk food is for everyone, not just the younger generation as shown on the wall. Do you think that gentleman in a batik shirt just finished his Big Mac? Wrong. He just had a McDonald's fried chicken! I bet Jakarta's McDonald's are the only ones in the world that serve rice with fried chicken, am I right??
As much as I'd prefer a bowl of wonderful salad, I do eat Mc Donald's occasionally :) And my daughter goes there just because they have slides!
My first stop downtown was at the National Monument park (Monas = Monumen Nasional). I couldn't get a closer shot of the tower, cause the place was closed for policemen that day. I think they were having a training or something. Will do it next time.
This is where you take the TransJakarta busses. I took the bus from Blok M to go to downtown.
So, next stop is downtown Jakarta!
