After I Leave the Office...

Sometimes I buy some foods (mostly snacks) and eat them together with my family. Here are some places that I frequently visit to buy some foods. 

 

Pempek

I love pempek and I use to go to this stall to buy some. The price is affordable, 1,000 rupiah for the small ones and 7,000 rupiah for pempek kapal selam.

Fried tofu, tempe, banana, etc.

Here are the foods which are crispy and cheap. My most favourite gorengan (fried snacks) are bakwan and tofu. It costs just 600 rupiah per piece.

Siomay jamur

Siomay is a kind of dim sum. It’s my favourite, too. I like this siomay jamur (mushroom) because it’s got a unique taste. A serving of siomay jamur (4 pieces) is sold for 5,000 rupiah. 

Tekwan

Tekwan, is a fish-based food. I usually buy tekwan here. The owner of the stall also sells pempek. A serving of tekwan is sold for 5,000 rupiah only.

Chicken noodles with dumplings

This food is best eaten while it’s raining and cold. In this stall, we can also buy fried noodles, fried dumplings, and fried rice. A bowl of chicken noodles is sold for 8,000 rupiah.

Lamongan fried chicken

Usually my mom and I stop by here when we do not cook something for dinner. The fried chicken is crispy and crunchy. The sambal (chili sauce) is also delicious. Not only fried chicken, we can also order pecel lele (fried catfish plus sambal), fried duck, fried shrimp, fried calamari, and fried fish. Mostly I buy fried chicken. The price of the fried chicken is 9,000 per piece.

Those are the types of food I usually buy. Simple right? Sometimes I also like to buy martabak telur, kwetiaw, or chicken satay. Maybe next time I will try other foods that are sold along the road towards my house.

Wah it’s almost the time to go home. I’ve to get ready. Buy maybe tonight I won’t buy anything to eat because I’m full - I’ve eaten ketoprak this afternoon, hehe…

Taman Purbakala Pugung Raharjo, Lampung (1)

Taman Purbakala Pugung Raharjo (Pugung Raharjo Archaeological Park) is one of the archaeological sites in Lampung, located in the Pugung Raharjo Village, Sekampung Udik District, East Lampung Regency. This site is situated approximately 50 kilometers from the provincial capital, Bandar Lampung. This site was discovered in the 1950s when the transmigrants from Java and Bali moved to this area and began clearing away the forest. The site is surrounded by a 1.2 km primitive fortress. Allegedly, the fort used to be filled with water from the spring on the eastern side of the site.

This 30 hectare site was build to save archaeological remains from Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam era, ranging from 12^th to 16^th century AD. The artifacts found in this site are Punden Berundak, Batu Mayat/Batu Kandang, Altar Batu, Batu Berlubang, Dolmen, Arca, and inscriptions from the Han, Sung, and Ming dynasty. Artifacts found here indicate that this area was once under the influence of Sriwijaya Empire. While the inscriptions, beads, and ceramics from China show that people in the area were also related to international trade network that visited the Sunda Strait. A small museum was built near this site to perpetuate some of the findings, including Polynesian statues. This site is now maintained as a national monument.

Pantai Mutun (Mutun Beach), Lampung (3)

Yesterday I went to the beach again after such a long time. I went there with my friends. It was just a spontaneous idea since we were so tired with such a hectic schedule at the office. So, last weekend we decided to have a hideaway for a moment and it was fun. We were a bit worried about the weather though since there was a rain pour last Friday. Sunday morning, the sky was a bit dark and there was a drizzle but we decided to carry out our plan. We left at about half past seven and arrived at the beach at half pas eight. There were only four of us since some friends suddenly couldn’t join us and two of our friends were late. We wanted to ride the banana boat but there weren’t enough people. We plan to go to the beach again next time with more friends. It will be more amusing. I took some pictures yesterday but I only posted some here. A friend asked me “From these six people, which one are you?” Just guess! Hehe…
