WW: Family Trip to Cirebon, West Java

Cirebon, here we come!

Have you been to or heard about Cirebon before?

It is one of the historical cities in West Java, which happens to be the hometown of my late grandpa from my father's side.

The last time I visited this place was when I was 16 year-old. Ages ago!

Well, we did stop by for a while, only for a quick lunch, when we headed back home from Semarang to Jakarta.

But this time, we really spent the whole day exploring this lovely city again.

We went here with my mom and aunties as well as my little brother and his wife plus my niece. It was quite a big group, around 11 people all together.

The trip was fun and full of great food as well as laughter.

Plus visits to our ancestors' palaces.

Here are some snaps from Sunyaragi Palace, Sang Cipta Rasa Mosque and Kasepuhan Palace, Cirebon

The roof of the Mosque..all made of Teak Wood. Beautifully crafted!

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

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it!

And happy holiday for us all.

Cheers from the hospital..

I managed to go through the hysteroscopy before Christmas break and got hospitalized for two days. The last two months have been quite tough, as my hubby and I were hospitalized with a short interval in between. Mine was scheduled, while my hubby was treated for appendicitis, which came abruptly. Well, I am waiting for the result which will be coming at on the last day of 2019. Talking about timing!

Nevertheless, I took some times to have a break and spent more quality time with my family.
We managed to travel around a little bit and explore Cirebon, one lovely city in West Java. Will share more about it later.

WW: Sunset on the Road and Nusa Dua Bali

Talking about Bali will always bring back great memories.
Bali never fails to amaze me.

Sunset on the road..

The last time we went there, we were planning to chase the sunset at Jimbaran. But as the traffic was so unpredictable, we couldn’t make it. Nevertheless, we managed to enjoy the sunset on the road! It was beautiful!

On my way to Nusa Dua..

Well perhaps, you have heard that Bali has one of the most beautiful highway.. right on top of the ocean. So, the landscape we enjoy while driving along the highway heading to the airport, Benoa and Nusa Dua is breathtaking. Including the sunset!

Nusa Dua..snaps from my morning jog.

Meanwhile, as I stayed in Nusa Dua this time, I tried to look around the area this time, hours before I flew back to Jakarta.

Clear blue sky and the calming sound of the ocean really soothe me.

The statues..

Meanwhile, as I stayed in Nusa Dua this time, I tried to look around the area this time, hours before I flew back to Jakarta. I went to Nusa Dua beach and Nusa Dharma Island, where they have the temple and beach clubs.
Clear blue sky and the calming sound of the ocean really soothe me.

So, this will be a lovely spot to visit while you are in Bali.
And now, Happy holiday everyone..

Join us un (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the link party!

Vintage Lovers and Foodies, Don’t Miss Sambel Hejo Sambel Dadak

Cheers from the Frakarsas!

Hi there,

Looking for a cool place to hang out with your family, beloved ones or your wonderful friends?
I just find the right place for you then.
Especially to those loving delicious Sundanese cuisine, endless photo sessions in vintage setting, and friendly services. Not to mention wonderful packages that they have will surely make you smile as it doesn't rob you or your bank.

Vintage Lovers and Foodies, Don’t Miss Sambel Hejo Sambel Dadak Rawamangun!

Gurame goreng yang enaaak iniii

Sebenarnya aku udah lama banget pengen review tempat ini.
Lokasinya yang deket banget dari rumah, makanan Sunda yang enak dan less MSG, plus dekorasi vintage dan booth photo yang asli lucu membuat tempat ini kontan menjadi tempat favorit keluargaku. 
Lucunya, kami sering banget melewati tempat ini setiap keluar dari kompleks rumah dan memutar ke arah Rawamangun, namun baru sempat mampir beberapa bulan lalu.  
Dan sejak itu restoran ini jadi tempot favorit kami sekeluarga.
Pas deh untuk kumpul - kumpul merayakan hari istimewa maupun sekedar makan sina tau makan malam bersama orang - orang tercinta.

So, let's see what's on the menu!
For sure, they serve traditional Sundanese (tribe from West Java, Indonesia) cuisine which is quite famous in Indonesia.
They have the package called Liwet (for 2 or 3 people) and a la carte menu as well.

Nasi Liwet is the specially prepared steamed rice, cooked with a mixed of traditional herbs like lemon grass, bay leaves and salted fish. The complete package also include ayam goreng basah - fried chicken with traditional spices; tahu and tempe goreng; cimplung or the potato fritters, sambel dadak and sambel hejo - the famous chili sauce; and peda bakar or the grilled salted fish.

You can also have them a la carte, per item or per portion.
Some additional menus like vegetable sautée with tauge and kangkung as well.
Our favorite is also the fish menu, different kind of gurame,  or the carp fish. They do excellent grilled or fried fish on the spot. 

The package for 2 persons costs you Rp 75.000,- , while the package for 3 persons is Rp 120.000,-. Complete information on the menu and its prices can be checked at http://sambelhejosambeldadak.com . The outlet that we visited is the one in Rawamangun.

Here are some photos of the menu we enjoy in this place.

Don't forget to check my video at YouTube channel for more stories and photos of those delicious menu plus lovely vintage setting.

And that's not all folks.
Besides those yummy food, they also have free vintage photo booth, complete with all the properties and costumes.
We definitely love it!
The setting is like a traditional hub in the middle of the rice field, complete with paddy, vintage utensils, and more.
Check it out...we had so much fun taking those pictures.
