Enjoy Every Moment~: Food Trip to Medan

Food Trip

6. My friend and her family very often to visit this restaurant, it already become one of their base to hang out. So they brought us to here. The next stop was TIP TOP Restaurant. i heard that this place has been there for quite a long time ago. The interior design so vintage. They sell desserts and main dishes as well. Got indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside. And because that time we already quite full, so we only bought two small cakes and two ice creams shared into 4 people. The cakes they sell remind me to old time. The taste is good. The ambience, the design, all are good. I think when you go there, try their cakes, and ice creams. I got take photos of what we ate that time. The price not expensive.

After so many foods we ate, we decided to walk around in shopping mall named Sun Plaza.

Location : Jl. KH. Zainul Arifin No.7, Medan, 20152, Sumatera Utara

One of biggest shopping mall in Medan. We walked around, to bookstore (Gramedia), then we went to supermarket to buy some Indonesian snacks to be brought to Malaysia XD, around 1hour plus then we continued our food trip to next stop.

7. Macehat

Location : Jl. Karo No. 20, Medan 20112, Sumatera Utara

Phone : +62 61 452 9944

This place very famous as the first and only place where selling the freshest and best quality coffee, they are selling the coffee beans and equipments too. Their promise is to serve customer with the premium cup everytime. And their coffee drinks are made from Sumatra's coffee beans. To be honest, i really agree that their coffee is best! I tried the Avocado Coffee Float. The combination between avocado, chocolate ice cream, and coffee is soooooo PERFECT. you should try this one ! They are selling some foods also, but most of the time people come to Macehat to chill and have coffee. The place is in the small road, so when you park you need to be very careful one. Actually Macehat's place last time was a house, but then now they change to small coffee shop, but what's unique is inside the design still like house. In addition, even weekdays, also full one. Sometimes need to wait until you get your seat but luckily that day we got the seat straight away.

8. After went to Macehat, it was already evening around 6 o'clock, so we went to my friend's house to have a rest for a while. But well, we still eating something when we were at her house. It was the Nyonya Kuih or Jajanan Pasar that i have mentioned in Part I. Let me show you the one that we bought. It was one big box. But then, actually both of us did not eat all. Because most of them was my friend's mom's part.

When i was going there, i was shocked because what, lots of choices! I even confused which one i want to try, it feels like you want to buy all, but unfortunately this kind of food cannot long very last, and also my tummy cannot fit in everything inside.

If you are curious with Indonesian Kuih, you should come here and try those kuih. Lots of traditional kuih from Indonesia.

Below is Ongol-Ongol (Brown), Onde-Onde (Green).

9. Time for dinner has come then we went out again, we requested to try the dim sum there, so they brought us to this dim sum named Dim Sum & Sang Wo Ayong.

Location : Jl. Babura Lama No. 12, Medan, Sumatera Utara

Phone : +62 61 4566 161

They are selling Dim Sum and Steamboat together, but steamboat in Indonesia not buffet one. You can take a look to the photos below, help you to know how was the Dim Sum and Steamboat there. Overall the place was neat, good place to hang out with family especiall, air-conditioned, the pork belly very nice, price i am not too sure about that, because we ate together we my friend's family, the taste is good, some of them only okay.

Egg Tart.

Kwetiau (Above) and Noodle (Below). From the photos, it might seems so plain, and not really nice, but i would like to say, these two were so delicious, i tell you the truth. First i also thought that we will eat these inside the steamboat, but actually if you eat only like that, it has already delicious.
