Food Trip
I went to Medan recently, for food trip and meet with my friends there. I have never been to Medan before, and I really want to try their foods. Me and my best friend went there for 3D2N. The flight ticket was so cheap, not even RM200 for return. We reached there quite late afternoon, and from the airport to the city itself took 45 minutes to 1 hour. So i went to my friend's house first to put our luggage and so on. Then only, we went for dinner.
1. We had our dinner in Ta Shanghai Restaurant which is located in : Jl. Multatuli Raya Blok FF No. 1-3, Medan, Sumatera Utara. This Chinese Restaurant recommended by my friend's parents. We ordered some dishes, like vegetable, prawn, steamed fish, fried pork belly, and some other dishes. The place was nice, air-conditioned, good place to have family dinner or gathering. I didn't bring my camera on that time so i did not have any photo for this restaurant.
2. After had dinner in chinese restaurant, my friend's parents brought us look around the Medan city, to every single area. And after a while, then we went to next stop which was Kwetiau Ateng.
Location: Jl. Letjend S. Parman No. 52, Medan, Sumatera Utara
Phone: +6261 4536 916
This kwetiau is very famous, if you are going to Medan, this place is a must to visit. Usually people eat for dinner or supper. This has been known as char kwetiau in Medan. The place is decent, roadside, but got air-cond, clean, and proper seating. I didn't remember correctly the price but roughly without drinks, should be not more than Rp30.000,-/RM8. The taste was soooooooo delicious. If i got a choice which dish that i can eat two times during my trip, i will choose this kwetiau. Seriously nice!
look every single details of the ingredients. tempting !
The second day:
3. We woke up quite early, since it was the only day that we can eat from breakfast until supper. So we wanted to use it wisely. We have planned which place to go before we arrived. And this was the first stop in second day. Breakfast at Bakmi Khek Selat Panjang.
Location: Jl. Selat Panjang No. 5, Medan, Sumatera Utara
The location is quite small, like normal noodle place, they do not have any branches, and it is in the small road. So you gotta ask someone to reach there, or it would be better if you have acquintance in Medan though, it should be easier.
I like the combination between the Noodle, egg, and pork. It was perfect. You can ordered half portion or one. Because i thought that i wanted to try so many dishes in Medan, so better save up my tummy, later can not fit in anymore. So i ordered the half one. For the price roughly not more than Rp20.000,- per person / RM5.50. This outlet also recommended by my friend's mom, it is one of the nicest Bakmi in Medan.
4. After ate the Bakmi, we went to buy the Nyonya Kuih in Malaysia or Jajanan Pasar in Bahasa Indonesia, i will write about this later because after we bought, we did not straight away eat, we saved it for tea time. After went to that store that sell nyonya kuih, we went to the next stop which was H&Co. Some of you know this as Howey, selling Macarons as well, and they have several branches in Shopping Malls. But i prefer visited this place of H&Co.
Location: Jl. R.A Kartinin No. 8B/14, Medan, Sumatera Utara
As you can see from the picture itself, from the entrance it was as good as the looks. Feels like in France though. and good lighting, good background for taking pictures too. Especially girls, you will love this place.
That time, no other guests beside us, and luckily they allow us to see and take picture of this room, usually they said it will be booked for photoshoot of pre-wedding. You can see from the picture, it is so vintage, elegant, and cute too. I like that they put Blue colour inside :D
This H&Co also known as Gourmand Baked Goods and Ingredients, they sell things for baking, from butter, chocolate, various types of nuts, chia seeds, and many more. If you love to bake, you will love this place. Feels like to buy so many things here.
One of my friend bought this Red Velvet Cake. To be honest, it is not worth it. I have tried before that nicer than this one. But still okay.
I ordered Green Tea Latte, my favourite after coffee !
The green tea latte was not bad. Because not all green tea latte is nice though.
Try to be artistic. LOL
Beside Cakes and Drinks, they also sell Pastries. The croissant was nice! The taste, and crunchiness almost the same with the one that we tried in Toulouse, France. They got Chocolate Roll, and Green Tea bread, and many more. Definitely, you will like this place.
5. The next destination after the cafe was Afuk 88 Cha Sio Pui
Location: Jl. Brigjen Katamso No 80/148, Medan, Sumatera Utara
Selling the char siew and rice. The taste not bad. Pork always good though. The kicap made it perfect. One portion was including rice and porks, not really big, for guys, you might eat few portions, especially the rice, you might eat few plates of rice. If i am not mistaken, roughly for one portion like this is around Rp25.000,- or RM7. The place was not so hard to find, because it was located in big road.
I will continue with more food trip review. Just stay tune!
Cheers,
Pris
