Stunning View of Lampung at Puncak Mas Lampung

Puncak Mas Lampung


Hi everyone...

I sincerely hope you all safe, happy and healthy.
I know that during this pandemic we all need to stay at home and implement 5M in bahasa Indonesia  (no longer 3 M, guys), which are wearing mask, washing hands, keeping physical distance, avoiding crowd, and reducing mobility.

But anyway, I still have some stories from my traveling and we can definitely list it down in our itinerary once the pandemic is over or more manageable.

So, let's go to Lampung! My beloved hometown.

This time let's go to Puncak Mas, Lampung

I really love this spot... although I came here before the pandemic. We came here on the last month in 2019, not long before the pandemic. As you might have been aware of, my family and I love to go back to Lampung whenever we have time.

Puncak Mas Lampung
We came here just before sunset

So, the plan at that time was to catch sunset!
Yes, sunset in many parts of Lampung is awesome indeed.
We came here before sunset and although we didn't really get sunset view but with place looks lovely and dreamy in the evening. The twilights and blinking lights from the surrounding areas as well as Bandar Lampung city and Lampung Bay from afar looks amazing. It looks so romantic! 

View of Puncak Mas Lampung
the lovely sky and the lights

There are many tree houses available there where you can enjoy the breathtaking view of Bandar Lampung city as well as the ocean view. I guess it's the Lampung Bay. the view from the heights is lovely, especially when you come at the right time.

We have to queue to ensure the tree house is not exceeding its capacity for the safety of us all. By the time we were there, as it was before the pandemic, the place was packed. Many of the visitors definitely want to climb up the tree houses and take pictures as well as enjoying the view from the top. I found some stairs are a bit steep and slippery for me but I still managed to climb up and go down carefully.

It has restaurants and food vendors as well, like nasi goreng, mie ayam, pempek and some instant noodles as well as beverages, including ice cream.

So all in all, it is a nice spot for family time or selfie for sure.

During the pandemic, I believe they have the arrangement for the implementation of strict health protocol. Body temperature less capacity and adjusted opening hours. It is best to check the latest updates to see the arrangement during COVID-19.

I hope you enjoy the palce as much as I do and see you on the next story!

Warung Nongkrong, Tempat Hits di Bandar Lampung yang Harus Kamu Coba

Risol ragout dari Warung Nongkrong, Tempat Hits di Bandar Lampung yang Harus Kamu Coba

Hi semua..

Salam sehat! Semoga kita semua selalu sehat, aman dan bahagia, di manapun berada.

Belum lama ini, aku dan keluarga sempat beberapa kali mengunjungi Bandar Lampung, kota tercinta yang menjadi kampung halaman. Urusan keluarga yang mendesak membuat kami sempat bolak - balik beberapa kali sambil tentu saja menyempatkan diri untuk menikmati some outdoorsy time favorit kami sekeluarga, snorkeling dan berenang di pulau kesayangan yang banyak terdapat di Teluk Lampung. For sure dengan tetap memperhatikan protokol kesehatan dan disiplin dengan 3 M. Pokoknya, a trip back home is always packed with cool stuff.

So recently, I also had some times to meet my dearest ladies in one of our favorite spots. Just like in many cities across the country, we have so many cool cafes and hip restaurants being opened. Bandar Lampung is no exception. Compared to the time when I was born and raised in this lovely city, Bandar Lampung is now dotted with eateries, cafes, and lovely Instagramable  restaurants. Some of them are managed and run by my friends as well. 

Warung Nongkrong Bandar Lampung
Kita sudah datang sebelum Warungnya buka hehehe

So in one of our visits to Lampung I came to the place that has been recently reopened. Warung Nongkrong namanya. Terletak di Jl. Z.A Pagaralam no. , Kedaton, Bandar Lampung, this place is indeed very strategicLocated right on the side of the main road, very near to several campuses and universities in the area, Warung Nongkrong certainly attracts many crowds who love to spend some times in a comfortable place over famous Lampungnese coffee and delectable plates. With a touch of industrial design and homy accent, this place is indeed a nice place to visit.

Masih ingat kaan waktu aku ketemu ibu - ibu hits teman kecilku di Bandar Lampung yang sampai sekarang masih sering bertukar sapa dan kabar via berbagai platform, terutama WAG dan Instagram? Beberapa waktu yang lalu, aku sempet bertemu dengan @lindasumadewi @rennygheghe @iyuniarti di tempat nongkrong paling hits @warungnongkrong #bandarlampung. For sure, pastinya kita bertemu dengan menerapkan protokol kesehatan yaaaa! Face shield, masker, jaga jarak (mendekat pas foto aja bentaar 😇) dan rajin cuci tangan plus pakai sanitizer untuk ruangan maupun tangaan. 

Some of the food we tried in Warong Nongkrong. Banyak juga hehe..

It is indeed now a must for all restaurants and public places to implement 3M in Indonesia: wearing masks, washing our hands properly and frequently; and keeping safe physical distance. Here in this cafe, when you first come your body temperatures will be checked and you are requested to  wash your hands. Moreover, hand sanitizers are also available. I also saw that the tables and chairs are cleaned frequently with disinfectant.

And now, let's see the menu! My favorite part indeed! There are various menus you can definitely try here. Starting from the appetizers, main course and desserts, you can also enjoy a wide range of incredible Lampungnese coffees which are famous for their bold tastes and aroma. Something that you should not miss while coming here.

Risol Ragout and Kroket keju. super yuuuum..

Kalau bicara menu, banyak yang aku dan anak - anak suka nikmati di sini. One of my fave is of course the  risol. Aku sukaaa dengan risolnya yg mantul dan asli enaak!  No MSG lagi! Yaaay bangeet buat aku dan pastinya juara rasanya! Risol ini ada yang original dan ada yang isinya  extra keju Mozarella. Dua - duanya enak. Anak - anak juga sempat coba burger, chicken strips, siomay, Korean garlic cheese bread, singkong keju, nasi goreng, nasi iga and more. Ternyata banyak aja yaaa hahaha. Warung Nongkrong juga punya promo untuk jam makan siang yang asyik dengan harga super terjangkau dan pastinya enak yaaa. Pokoknya rugi untuk dilewatkan, terutama untuk mereka yang berdomisili di Bandar Lampung dan sekitarnya.



Dan pilihan makanan sama kopinya juga okeee, dengan deretan kopi dan coklat produksi asli #lampungkeren yang kamu, ya KAMU, musti cobain. Pokoknya  ♥️♥️♥️banget.  Aku sempat mencoba ice blended choco yang menggunakan coklat asli produksi Pesawaran Lampung. Juga ada Jahe Merah yang asli produksi lokal Pesawaran Lampung. Rasanya mantap! Bahkan aku membawa pulang paket jahe merah yang pas banget diminum saat pandemi seperti ini.

Happy me with ice choco asli dari Pesawaran, Lampung

Not to mention local blend, yang tersaji mantap dalam kopi tubruk Lampung. Moreover, you can order various ice blended beverages including strawberries smoothies, matcha frappe, nutella choco frappe, red velvet frappe, and lychee squash and more. My .. I can go on and on with those drink list indeed.



Btw, I managed to make a video on one of my visits here, featuring my dearest friends and cousin, Indri and Gheghe, as well as the owner, Linda Sumadewi. It's already in YouTube  (here is the link of Warung Nongkrong video) and hope you can watch it fully.



If you want to know more, langsung kepoin IG nyaaa yaa, bisa check out di sini: IG Warung Nongkrong

Cheers from the 4 of us at Warung Nongkrong

Alamatnya Warung Nongkrong adalah Jl. Z.A. Pagaralam no. 30, Kedaton, Bandar Lampung. It is so easy to find this place as it is located by the main road. You won't miss it!


So, that's a little review I have for Warung Nongkrong (WN) in Bandar Lampung. Hope you get to visit this lovely place and let's support the local business in our neighborhood. 
Cheers and see you on the next story!

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

www.indahnuria.com
let's walk


Hello again and hope all the days ahead of us will be better.

As fast as it goes, January is almost over and for sure life goes on. 

This week is filled with heavy rain here in Jakarta and many parts of Indonesia. Well, it's the rainy season so we are anticipating it. In some parts of Indonesia we have heard incidents of flood, land slides, and some other disasters. Well, sadly, somehow at some point we welcome the new year with incidents and/or disaster. May God protect us all.

The kids are continuing their online classes and my days are filled with endless webinars and online meetings as well. Well, nothing to complain as it is how we work most of the time. I occasionally come to the office to join meetings and getting some errands, mostly the administrative works. 

I also came back to the hospital to start having my consultation with my oncologist and gynaecologist. It has been 5 years since I started taking hormones therapy orally in order to control my breast cancer. I have taken tumor marker test as well to check the status of my cancer and the result is good. So I am optimistic with my healthy, although I do have to watch my blood sugar and my weight. Wish me luck yaaa... I have been trying to be more active and try to walk around and jog at least 30 minutes every day. The static bike at home is used more often as well. So stay safe, happy and healthy, everyone!

Now, let's join us on Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends. Have fun!

We hope you will enjoy your visit and find a post of interest and don't forget our hostesses blogs that they share as well, we would love to have you comment!

WW: Kelapa 60 Beach, Kelagian Island, Lampung, Indonesia

Kelapa 60 Beach, Kelagian Island, Lampung, Indonesia
Cheers from Kelapa 60 Beach, Kelagian Island, Lampung, Indonesia

One of the newest beach being opened in Kelagian Island, Lampung is Kelapa 60.

Kelapa means coconut and this part, as well as other side of Kelagian Island, is dotted with coconut trees. Of course with lines of white sandy beaches and shallow water, perfect for a day swim. 60 or enam puluh means sixty. I don't know why it is named that way.

Kelapa 60 Beach, Kelagian Island, Lampung, Indonesia
Don't you just love to see the water


Anyway, as we took our drone to this beautiful island, we did take some aerial photos during our lunch break on the beach. We were thinking of flying our drone in the middle of the ocean where we snorkelled but the GPS signal was not strong so we didn't want to risk it.

I am still learning to handle this gear by the way and most of the time is my hubby who is behind the 'wheel'. It is fun but it is risky and I need to lear more. Well, here are some of the photos taken during the trip. Hope you like it.

Traveling to Lampung via Bakauheni and Merak Executive Ports

beautiful view welcoming us when we are traveling from Jakarta to Lampung 

Hi, everyone. 

2021 is here and I sincerely hope I can share more on my blog while I have better time management with the combination of work from home and work at the office. And looking back at 2020, I noticed that we only made trips back and forth to Lampung and Bali during the pandemic. Well, a short trip to Curug Nangka in Bogor was done once as well as Palembang South Sumatera due to the passing of my dearest Aunt. 

Siger Lampung welcoming you at Bakauheni


And speaking about our trips to Lampung - Jakarta vice versa, I would like to share some details from our trips, especially the use of Executive ports in Bakauheni and Merak. Thanks to the current government, we now have better and faster transportation means and infrastructures to commute and explore around the country. And one of them is the highway toll from Bakauheni Port to Bandar Lampung City and even Palembang, the capital of South Sumatera province. Moreover, in addition to the already existing ports in Merak and Bakauheni, some of the busiest sea ports in Indonesia, we also have executive terminals in both ports.

the highway gate


And what  much much better port indeed!

I am super proud to see the progress!

I have been traveling back and forth to Jakarta - Lampung and happy to see how developed the system is. We used to line up for quite a long time and it can be quite messy. Now we have better system and choices for those who are willing to pay a bit more but get better and faster service. 

ferizy.com


Instead of using the traditional way of lining up for tickets, which can be very frustrating and unsurprisingly long, we use online platform www.ferizy.com to buy the ticket. Just like its slogan, We Bridge the Nation, ferizy helps you book and pay tickets the trip through and from Bakauheni, Merak, Gilimanuk, Ketapang, and other ports. For Rp588.000,- (or 591.000,- if you pay through mobile banking) you can use executive ferry services from Bakauheni - Merak or vice versa for cars/SUV and alike. The tickets are also sold for passengers only or those riding bike, motorcycles or other types of vehicles. There are other ways of paying the tickets, including through ATM, bank transfer, e-money, and some designated outlets such as Indomaret and Alfamart.

waiting for our ferry

There are so far 4 ferries that we have tried: Portlink, Sebuku, Batu Mandi dan Jatra III. All these ferries have better facilities, cleaner and more importantly, faster. My family and I love the trip because it is comfy. It also has better and cleaner seats. During the pandemic, wearing mask all the time except while eating and drinking is an obligation and many hand washing stations are provided. Physical distancing is also imposed.

It takes around 1.5 - 2 hours from unloading to arriving at the next port. It used to take at least 3 hours (can be up to 4 hours)  for one trip from Jakarta - Lampung vice versa. Not to mention during big holidays like lebaran or tahun baru or new year!

Besides the ferry, we have malls in both Bakauheni and Merak executive ports. The mall at the executive port has shops, restaurants and food & beverages vendors, clean toilets, and mushola or praying room. It has balcony for you who like to enjoy smoking or simply enjoying the view.

the mall from outside

The mall at the executive port has shops, restaurants and food & beverages vendors, clean toilets, and mushola or praying room. It has balcony for you who like to enjoy sunset or sunrise there.
The port is open 24 hours and I guess, from our own experience, we have less officers during midnight trip but the service is still provided accordingly.

Again as I said, it is very helpful! Hope the service is much much better again in the future.

Have you tried taking this trip as well? 

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Happy to be back home to Lampung

Here comes another week in January and I have to say that life continues to roll.

Works are already demanding as always and I do hope my enthusiasm and positivity won't be depleted too soon. Again I am blessed to have a great team and we try to work things out. One step at a time. Wish us luck. 

We managed to come down to Lampung as well. That's our first trip in 2021 outside Jakarta. It seems like it becomes sort of a routine now, spending the first days or weeks of the new year in Lampung. In two consecutive years, we have celebrated the new year in Lampung. This year, because of the pandemic and the big scale of restriction in the island, we stay put after our little break in Bali. Although we have a long break, but again we were confined at home. 


happy to be back home to Lampung

So, we were excited to go back to Lampung and even got a chance to visit one of our favorite islands and go snorkelling. Well, it was fun and some photos can be seen at my previous post (READ: WW: Taman Nemo, Pahang and Kelagian Island, Lampung). And whenever we went back home to Lampung, we just crave to go back there soon. 

But now, here's our little party time! join me on Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends. Have fun..

We hope you will enjoy your visit and find a post of interest and don't forget our hostesses blogs that they share as well, we would love to have you comment!
