Depot Ayam Mutilasi, Jayapura, Indonesia If you are looking someplace for dinner and you wanted to be something unique, this place is worth to be in your list. They served the fried chicken. But not like other fried chicken, they use the half grown chicken instead and you will get several pieces on your plate. Taste like chicken because it is chicken, but the meat is so tender melted inside your mouth. Beside the fried chicken with steam rice, the meal also come with sliced cucumbers and hot sauce.

Nusantara Restaurant, Jayapura, Indonesia This restaurant delicacy is tilapia fish BBQ, and they meant it. This is the best place in the Jayapura city to enjoy such cuisine. Tilapia is fresh water fish that usually only grow up to 1 kilogram. But here in Jayapura, this fish was kept in Sentani lake can grow up to 3 kilograms. And you will enjoy that big fish alone only for you. They serve tilapia fish BBQ with special hot and sweet sauce and with steam rice. Just don’t miss the tilapia fish BBQ if you’re visiting Jayapura city.

Nias island and Gunungsitoli city are famous of its seafood cuisine, and the best place to have fish BBQ is here. They serve red bass and best if you enjoy it with special hot-sweet sauce. The restaurant is located near the sea shore, but since this is in Nias, you will not find the fancy place to enjoy your meal. And get ready to get sweaty since the restaurant doesn’t have the AC and the climate in Nias is hot and humid. Warung Bahagia, Gunungsitoli - Nias Island, Indonesia TripAdvisor website rejected this entry due to lack of Google Map data on it's location. But believe me, this cafe is exist!
If you are looking in Nias island for a place to sit down and chat with friends while enjoying the fried banana and a cup of coffee, this is the place. It is located in Gunungsitoli town and it is not a fancy café, but you will amaze how good their fried banana with very cheap price. Hotel Kaliki, Gunungsitoli - Nias Island, Indonesia Overall Rating: GOOD
Visited May 2016 TripAdvisor website rejected this entry due to lack of Google Map data on it's location. But believe me, this hotel is exist! You can not find fancy 5-star, 4-star, or even 3-star hotel in Gunungsitoli. The best hotel in this town is Hotel Kaliki which rated below 3-star. But I guess you don’t come to Gunungsitoli to find luxury place to spend a night, so this hotel is just acceptable. It’s located by the shore where you can enjoy the view of sunrise. But the beach is not for swimming since full of sharp coral. This hotel has swimming pool for adult and for kids, but they failed to maintain the pool to its best. The water is not clear and lots of leaves on the bottom of the pool. Near the swimming pool they have series of place to sit and eat and they have a big open wall restaurant at the far end of the field. This restaurant is not for breakfast, because your breakfast would be serve in front of each room on the terrace or balcony where they set dining table in front of every room. Breakfast always fried rice, but don’t worry because it was tasty and delicious served with sunny side up, sliced cucumber and tomatoes, also fish chips. The room are spacious with big unused space in front of the bathroom. In the room you will find one flat TV with TV cable decoder (though the signal sometimes lost and only has few channels other than local TVs), one AC, one office table, and one huge wardrobe. I stayed in room 15 on the second floor (this hotel only has 2 floors), and the shower hanger in the bathroom was broken. I didn’t complain to the hotel since I’ve already set my expectation was low for this accommodation. The hot shower is frequently disrupted with cold shower. Maybe this was caused by the hot water pump didn’t pump the water continuously. Don’t forget to bring your own toiletries because they don’t provide the good one for you to use. Retta Care, Parapat, Indonesia This café is open 24 hour and it is located on the main road from Parapat to Medan. So, if you are driving at night and pass this area, you should stop by to enjoy a cup of hot coffee company with roasted peanuts while enjoying the view of Lake Toba from up high. You will never get enough of the atmosphere especially if you are too sleepy to continue your trip. This 30 minutes rest will refresh your mind and body to get ready to get back hitting the road.
Click here for original comment on TripAdvisor website Ayam Kejar Restaurant, Tarutung, Indonesia If you are trying to find the nice restaurant in Tarutung with good taste and you are in hurry, you should consider this restaurant. It is on the main road of Tarutung and it open until late evening. No matter what you order is, the hot fresh cooked food would be ready on your table very quick. Quicker than your mind if you want to change what you want, because even before you ask the waiter to come back to your table, your previews food is ready! They are able to serve their guests this way because they have multiple chefs and each one of them handling the different way of cooking style.
And the taste is also good. I order roasted chicken served with fried eggplants and stir-fry kangkung. This is the Muslim restaurant, so guaranteed free of pork and only serve halal food. I definitely will eat here again anytime I come to Tarutung. Click here for original comment on TripAdvisor website Warung Sate Yakin Rasa, Banda Aceh, Indonesia Aceh’s is also famous of its sate. And the best way to enjoy them is in this restaurant. It’s a cheap eat restaurant with the expensive taste. You will eat your Sate with steam rice and the beef soup made using the beef stock. Just don’t eat this meal if your blood cholesterol level is high because you will need to see your doctor later.
The taste is just outstanding to the point that one portion is never enough! Click here for original comment on TripAdvisor website Batu Lubang Tunnels, Sibolga, Indonesia This tunnel was made by the Dutch centuries ago when they colonizing Indonesia. The tunnel connects Sibolga and other cities of its East. What so unique about this tunnel that it was crafted behind the water fall, in a way that the water from water penetrating to the tunnel wall and make it wet and cold. It’s a series of two short tunnels, and each tunnel is behind a different waterfall. The passage is so narrow that cars or even container who want to go through this tunnel need to take turn and blow the horn every time they arrived at the entrance of the tunnel.
Click here for original comment on TripAdvisor website Airport Railink Service, Kualanamu - Medan, Indonesia In my opinion, this is the most efficient way to Medan city from Kualanamu Int'l airport and vice versa. But every time I take this train, the train is empty. One time it was only me and my friend in one car! I believe they need more advertising to communicate to their customers to choose this train instead of taxi or car. From and to airport by taxi or car in rush hour would take up to 1.5 hour, while using this train would only take you around 40 minutes.
The train is very clean and comfy. You should try it. Click here for original comment on TripAdvisor website |
