.:Xiao Fei Yang @ Jalan Pudu:.

Another deals grab from living social. 50% discount voucher which I trade RM30 for a RM60 cash voucher.

Although being informed earlier that eating here is not cheap, first thing that shock me was this set of cutleries cost RM1 for the hygienic packing. The soup itself cost RM20. This is herbal clear soup. Yummy! I don't know am I imagining or what, but I can taste the lamb gamey-ness in it. Nevertheless, the soup is nice enough to be on it's own.

2 plates of pork slice. RM9/ plate. Super a lot. I regretted we ordered 2 plates.

Ramen RM4.

Fish slices RM10.

Vegie RM4. Homemade fishball RM9. Fish ball with bean curd skin RM6.

Total damage was RM83.60. Using the RM60 cash voucher, we paid only RM23.60; which by fact, we paid RM53.60 for this meal. Not too bad. The portion was large, don't worry that you might ordered too less. Order first and add on if you find you are not full yet. Or else, you might end up wasting foods like us.

:4D3N Medan - Lake Toba Summary:

4 Day 3 Night is just nice for a trip to Lake Toba, providing you arrive in the morning and leaving in the evening. It's good to arrive earlier on day 1, because the last ferry to Samosir Island leaves at 7pm. And from Medan airport to the jetty, you need to allocate around 5 hours car ride.

The whole 4 day 3 night tour can be summarize as:

Day 1 - 13/9/2012 - Polonia Airport Medan - Parapat - Samosir Island

Day 2 - 14/9/2012 - Visit Whole Samosir Island & Tele (Batu Kursi Raja Sialagan - Menara Pandang Tele - Pangururan Hot Spring - Tomok)

Day 3 - 15/9/2012 - Parapat - Bukit Unta - Simarjarunjung - Sipiso-piso Waterfall - Rumah Bolon - Berastagi (Fruit Market) - Overnight at Horiston Berastagi

Day 4 - 16/9/2012 - Berastagi (Pagoda Steel, Mt. Sibayak, Velangkany Church) - Medan (Cake shops) - Polonia Airport

Total damage is RM630 - includes RM73 air ticket that we got from Air Asia zero fair! And souvenirs, 1 hour massage (RM30) arrange by Samosir Villa Resort (ah, DO skip this. It's a waste of money. Total waste. Oily and I don't call that massage. I call that rubbing! Darn it.).

We took the ground package from Danau Toba Travel. Total cost is IDR2350k for 4 day 3 night and we shared it among six of us. Cheap and budget enough =)

Hope you have fun too!

:Medan-Lake Toba Day 4:

The final day of our trip. Another tiring car travel day. Our first stop of the day is Pagoda Steel.

We spent some times here while waiting for the clouds to clear before heading to the volcanic mountain.

After the rain goes away and the skies brighten a bit, we head to the volcanic mountain, Mt. Sibayak.

I'm quite 'disappointed'. I thought when they mention stopping at volcanic mountain means i will get to step on the volcanic mountain. But in reality, actually we only stand at a hill opposite the mountain to view the volcanic mountain.

We then stop to have our lunch before heading back to Medan. Warung Bahagia, which famous for the soto and pecal.

Pecal.

Cap cay

Lele Bakar

Kangkong sambal

Fu Yong Hai

Delicious lunch! After done, we head back to Medan. A long long journey car ride.

Our last stop is Velangkany Church before transfer to airport.

Overall, this trip is quite tiring due to the long time spent in car. But it is all worthy when we reach Samosir Island for the relaxing environment. Just sit by the lake, doing nothing :)

Berastagi is a good place not to be miss out as well, for the cold weather :)

For a RM500+ trip, I would say it's worthy :)

:Medan-Lake Toba Day 3:

Day 3. Leaving Samosir Island to Berastagi.

Good bye Samosir Villa Resort.

Our tour guide brought us to one of the look out point in Samosir Island before leaving. It is really nice how the yum cha place in Samosir Island/ Berastagi having the lake view and cold breeze. Very comforting.

After capturing picture, it's time to leave Samosir Island.

We were stop by the road side to have pictures of Bukit Unta. Nice nice view :)

Then we continue our journey to Simarjarunjung for the famous herbs tea and fried banana. Sorry to say, but I think the herbs tea is not nice and Malaysian fried banana is nicer.

We had special fried rice for our lunch.

And capture nice view from here. Very nice view! Mini Switzerland?

We then continue our journey and stop by Sipiso-piso for the waterfall.

It's raining, so we had our tea time in one of the shop here. I forgotten the name of this but it taste not bad. Malaysian call this Lontong.

Sipiso-piso waterfall.

View from Sipiso-piso

We then move on to Rumah Bolon. Nothing really special here.

And finally after almost 8 hours car ride (include stop by the above places), we reach Berastagi. Tiring journey indeed. The weather at Berastagi is same like Malaysian Cameron Highland. A bit cold. We went to fruit market to do some shopping.

And had the jagung bakar! This grill corn tasted superb!

Us :)

And finally check in to Horiston Berastagi for a rest. This hotel cost us IDR430k/night/room.

Very fast, it's already Day 3.. left one more day before back to reality.

The trip was so far so good but the car ride is really tiring. One of us even vomited because the journey not only far but also curving bumpy road. Please remember to bring some asam or oil.

.:Restaurant Asam Batu Laut @ Morib:.

This too, was found in the draft box, pending for publish. Aha.. I left my blog too long to remember this. 

Restaurant Asam Batu Laut which located in the half way from Tanjung Sepat to Morib surprised me with the cheaper price compare to the one we had at Ocen Seafood.

Lala! Ok ok..

Asam pari fish. This is sooo sour!

You might want to try this place for the price :)
