Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1432 in Puncak

Spent the Lebaran Holiday with a whole bunch of crazy people at Jojo's villa in Puncak. The subjects of food & eating is no joking matter with this bunch of people! They look deceivingly slim, but their appetite is nothing small! They went crazy over French Toast, which was later improvised to 'French Toast Special', an improvised sandwhich of white bread with grated cheddar cheese and coklate syrup. This is coated with eggs & milk, then fried with loads of butter. They pretty much went gaga over it, and they pretty much requested for it every day....

I've concluded that 5 ingredients goes for a successful Indonesian palate:
1. Keju (Cheddar Cheese)
2. Susu (Condensed Milk)
3. Roti (Bread)
4. Coklat (Chocolate)
5. Planta Butter

Of course, I just enjoyed the lovely weather and glorious street food!

Must eat street food:
1. Sekoteng (Ginger Soup)
2. Jagung (BBQ Corn)
3. Sate Kambing (Mutton Satay)
4. Tahu Sumedang (Fried Tofu)

In an effort to brush up my Bahasa Indonesia, I learnt this nursery rhyme which definitely helps with learning new verbs & volcabulary words!

"Naik-naik ke Puncak Gunung,
Tinggi-tinggi sekali.
Naik-naik ke Puncak Gunung,
Tinggi-tinggi sekali.
Kiri-kanan kulihat saja,
Banyak pohon cemara.
Kiri-kanan kulihat saja,
Banyak pohon cemara."
