Indonesia Part 7 (End) -  Ocean Dream Samudra, Jakarta.

MORNING INDONESIA!

It was our last day in Jakarta before we left. Mr. Han brought us to the well known recreation park and we did enjoy ourselves with all the shows being performed, the crew really did a great job in managing the recreation park and the creatures there.

- Ocean Dream Samudra -

"Ocean Dream Samudra features several animal shows, a small aquarium, and a 4D theater. The trained animal shows include a dolphin show and sea lion show. The 4D theater projects 3D image movies with sensations such as cool breezes and water sprays located inside a large building with Mesoamerican pyramid theme. On 2011 Ocean Dream Samudra will be revitalized with the budget Rp.27 billion ($3.1 million). Ocean Dream Samudra now held "Under the Sea Musical Dance" attraction at Underwater Theater." - Wikipedia

- Interesting Variety Animal Show -

The first show we watched was variety animal show, interesting and funny. In fact, they speak Indonesian language when we were there. We were quite lucky that we are from Sabah, which we speak fairly like an Indonesian!

- Otters -

- Time Table -

We watched most of the show, however I missed the mermaid show (aka Underwater Theater)! :( Which I really would love to watch it! I went for nature call (washroom) that time. More over, our time was quite packed which we have to chase the time to watch the next show, to walk ourselves from one place to another.

- Sea Lion and Bird's Show -

Sea lions were cute and very friendly! The show still go on when there was rain, yea... We got dripped by rain. -_-

And the last show I watched was Pirates Show, they really did a great show to all of us! Well done! And there's freaking explosion too! Those stunts just WOW!

【印尼游玩记】 万隆 ： 火山 Fun in Indonesia : Puncak/ Bandung - Tangkuban Perahu Mountain

Indonesia Part 3 - Sumber Wangi, Puncak and Tangkuban Perahu Mountain, West Java, Bandung

Awake from our beauty sleep and had our breakfast, waited for tour bus to arrive and off we go to the next destination! BANDUNG!

During our journey from Puncak to Bandung, we stop over for a short break at Sumber Wangi, whereby it is an outlet selling sweets and local delicacies. A short explanation that indonesian taste buds are more to sweet and savory food.

- Handmade Goodies -

Very cute frogy keychain and I didn't buy them. :(

You know what? The spirit of earning money by "chasing" us to purchase their goodies which selling outside Sumber Wangi's outlet just amused me. Yea... I did bought two bracelet from them! So pretty and colourful. I love colourful accessories. :)

- Local Delicacies -

Of what I have bought - Peanuts and crackers.

- Sumber Wangi -

- Fried Tofo -

I would love to try some and despite of their hygiene, I was a bit afraid to taste a bite. *Yaiks*

- Welcome to BANDUNG! -

Finally we were there!

- Lunch -

We had Chinese Indonesian Food by Masakan Ikan Restaurant, operated by Chinese Indonesia and quite tasty too! I do impressed with the tour package we subscribed during that CNY 2013.

- Heading to the next destination -

I truly love the view like above, feeling calm and green. Just love it so much.

- Tangkuban Perahu Mountain -

It was only a small part of the mountain, first we will be transferred from the lower part of the mountain to the highest place to see the amazing mountain view.

- The sleeping Valcono -

They said that Tangkuban Perahu Mountain is well known with Sangkuriang and Dayang Sumbi Legend.

Well, there's always a lagend about mountain, just like our beautiful Mount Kinabalu here in Sabah. :)

- Gotcha Selfie! -

- Souvenirs for remembrance -

Somehow Indonesian are friendly people, they won't really shout at you if you don't want to buy from them. haha :D

- Hand Crafted -

- Gunung (Mountain) Tangkuban Perahu -

"Tangkuban Parahu or Tangkuban Perahu is one of the mountain located in the province of West Java, Indonesia. Approximately 20 km to the north of the city of Bandung, with a lush pine trees and expanses of tea gardens in the vicinity." (source)

With Mr. Hon, a very down to earth man as our tourist guide (Indonesian Chinese) and I still remember he sang for us a few love songs (although he can't understand the meaning in that Chinese love songs) on the day we left Indonesia.

- Love this Shot by my sister -

This is yours truly and till next Indonesia post!

【生活点滴】 Beautiful Indonesia Trip 2013

Hi there...

I hope I wasn't late to wish my dearest readers and friends "Happy Chinese New Year 2013"! ;)

In fact I was away from Malaysia for the past few days and at the same time for a short escape to Jakarta, Puncak Highlands and Bandung to celebrate our CNY this year.

So, anyone miss me here?? :D I think not much right? Lol

Well, We had a great time and tiring but enjoyable trip at Indonesia. I never expect that their country is such a develop one and tourism industry is such well organised as well and somehow, in my personal opinion, Msia should learn from them in terms of the well organised metropolitan city! Truly, both of the city namely Bandung and Jakarta open my eyes and just not to make more of you wondering, we also experienced the poor scenes and hardworking lifestyle of the Indonesian while passed by some of the outskirt areas and even in the city itself. At the first sight, I was shocked of what they did but when I thought further, they were acting so it's because of the environment and to strive to raise themselves and their family. :')

 

- First Day of CNY -

Talk about food! The style of cooking are similar to the Malays and most of the time we were having Chinese Indonesian cuisine, believe me or not, the food served at most of the restaurant are good and the elderies that I met during our tours keep praising about the various local food such as Bebek (duck) noodles (not street food) and even the Hong Kong porridge nearby our hotel taste scrumptious. In fact, the pork sate and fried carrot cake prepared by the food court at Mall Kelapa Gading, Jakarta taste amazing and couldn't agree more that the baked sweet potatoes outside the resting area taste yummy too! *Gosh*

 - Pork Sate -

- Chinese Cuisine at Our Hotel -

 

- Local Delicacy : Grilled/ Baked Sweet Potato -

How about shopping? I couldn't agree more that the shopping were great there, affordable priced good quality goods (depends where) and I actually bought varieties of items from blouses, dresses, accessories, souvenirs and etc that covers the whole bed of mine, my friend even teased me that those I bought are for Spring and Summer 2013. (lol) Somehow I do miss the mall that our tourist guide introduced "Mall Kelapa Gading" at Jakarta, which the only mall we have visited together with our cute tour mates. Imagine our craziness that started since 10.00 am to 7.00pm (if only we have more time), such a good place to shop at. Believe me, they say there are other recommended malls in,town that we could shop till we drop. Mangga Dua at Jakarta was not in my favourite list, the place is crowded and I found the accessories below over there and two pieces of batik blouse and dress.

- Accessories from Mangga Dua Shopping Mall -

- Interesting Toy found at Mall Kelapa Gading -

I guess only seen in Indonesia?

- Part of my awesome shopping achievement -

 

- Found the rounded fashionable spec at Mall Kelapa Gading -

The factory outlet at Bandung was okay for us, we found quality and fashioned tops there, at one time I bought five or six pieces from the same outlet - Lily & Roses. 

I felt such an achievement that my luggage was full of new things. :D

The various tourist spot such as Safari Park, Valcano, Hot Spring and Ancol Ocean Park are such a success, I'm glad I was there and opps! I think I talked so much here and I think I better stop here! I'm still sick since two days before heading back KK and now even worst with additional with the ear pressure I had from my flight and still.
