Wandering Fel

Christmas is time to be merry and I suppose the happiest part in our body is..our belly. This year, my family decided to spend few days out of town (cuz Jakarta is always filled with traffic jam). We are going to Semarang to fill in our belly. Ho-Ho-Ho.

Fyi, Semarang is a town in the East Java. A flight from Jakarta to Semarang will take approximately 1 hour. When we arrived in Semarang, we could not check into our hotel yet so we straight away go for eating trip.

First stop, Bakmi Djowo Pak Doel.

We came to this restaurant to eat this yummy fried noodle. Super delicious. ^^

I don't know about you guys, but I seldom talk with my brother. Even though nowadays we have convenient apps like Whatsapp or LINE...we still seldom communicate. I admit I communicate with my friends more than him. Oops, bad sister. Hehe.

So whenever I go back home (fyi, Jakarta is my hometown), I try to chit chat with him. Food makes it easier. This time, we decided to try out Kichenette, which is located in the middle of Central Park's yard. It's famous for its crepes I guess..since the menu listed various kind of crepes.

Helloooo, first of all, let me say "Merry Christmas!!!" Are you happy with your Christmas gifts? My family do not really celebrate Christmas even though we are Christians so yeah, there is not even a Christmas tree in my house because we are too lazy to set it up. So, as a result, there are no gifts under the tree. Not romantic at all.

I'm currently in Indonesia, my home country. And since there is traffic jam everywhere in Jakarta, I spend my Boxing Day...lazying around at home. Total pig. Since I got nothing to do, I snack a lot. It's a good thing I brought back a lot of snacks from Taiwan. Kekeke.

These are my favourite snacks from 7-11. I think they are imported from Japan. There are different flavour on sale but I like strawberry the most. Nom nom nom.

One of the awesome things about going to Singapore in December is...all shopping malls on the island are decked in Christmas decorations. And I'm a fan of shopping malls' Christmas trees (especially since there is no Christmas tree in my own house. U_U).

As usual, this year, you can see a beautiful Christmas tree on top of Vivo City.

One of my besties had a voucher to eat dinner at Park Palace, a Cantonese restaurant located inside Grand Park City Hall hotel. Yum, an offer not to be missed indeed. Hehehe.

We did order a lot of food. A LOT. Goodness gracious, four girls eating like pigs. So expect a lot of pictures of the food. Hehehe.

1st course: Prawn Mayonnaise....hmm actually, the sauce is not mayo. One side is dressed with thousand island sauce while the other with wasabi sauce. Both are delightful.

On my 2nd day back in Singapore, I noticed one thing...there are more cafes in Singapore than few months ago. O_o! Especially the two cafes called Costa Cafe and Dr Cafe. Seems like they has been aggressively expanding for the last few months in Singapore to make sure you notice them wherever you go.

So yes, I am quite curious on how these two cafes fare. Since my friend and I were quite tired from walking around 313 Somerset, we decided to take a break at Costa Cafe. Noticed that apart from the usual drinks and cakes/muffins/sandwiches, the cafe sells..chocolate.

...on a sunny island. Literally. Because I'm coming back home.

Before going back to Jakarta, I'll spend days in Singapore though. After all, Christmas should be spent with family and close friends. I have more friends in Singapore than in Jakarta. Goodness, I don't know why.

Touched down at Changi Airport early in the morning. Cannot wait to see my friends.



P.S. If you can't stand the cold, you may want to escape to Singapore for a shopping and eating trip. Ho-ho-ho.

I cannot resist the temptation of eating fast food/junk food in Taiwan. I suppose I have fallen in love with it since I was a kid. So yeah, I could not resist it any longer when I saw this just across the street.

If you want to eat a delicious Japanese food, look no further, because they are are everywhere in Taiwan. Taiwanese loves Japanese products including its food and make up. I guess this comes as no surprise since the island was subjected to Japanese colonial rule for years. (The same thing cannot be said about my country which happened to be subjected under Japanese colonial as well but let's not dwell into that topic..and focus on the food..hehe).

Right! Last summer, I brought my friend to Zhongshan's neighborhood because we wanted to try that so-much-raved-about unagi don. Just thinking about it makes me drool. Pardon me.

The location is not that easy to find. I had to resort using Google Map to find the exact location. But finally, we had arrived at Fei Qian Wu / 肥前屋.
