Hotel Kalang Ulu - Berastagi

This is our first stay for the trip

They used Bali touch for the room and ambience

Overall, the room is great and all, but expect to find some insects as their bathroom is partially open 😂

The only minus from this hotel is a lack of phone for us to communicate with the receptionist, and their breakfast is only same type of fried rice , fried mee hoon, every dayyyy

Hopefully they will improve for the future

Kebun Efi

Kebun Efi

This kebun and kabin is under one owner, so you can buy one continuous ticket

Unfortunately the place is quite small and not much to do here, but if you want new experience for staying, you can try their glamping or cabins

The road is very tricky, it’s an effort to actually arrive here . The road is small, either waze or google maps both are lost and can’t find the place

When we eventually come, it really feels like a hidden gem, because after rice field journey and such, i deserve a good food 😂

So i ordered traditional chicken lemang-lemang.

This chicken is very goooodd!!! Their thick yet strong karonese spice really makes a kick here , this is a must to try if you eve find this cafe 😅

Time for dinner! So we head out to Jabu

It was raining so we didn’t get a chance to actually take a pic for the ambience and such

We ordered paella rice served with grilled chicken and prawn and peri sauce and ayam cipera

For paella , it was nice but this is a drier paella instead of what I’ve ever tasted before, still nice though

And their chicken is more or less got a clearer broth than what we have at parapara

But still got the strong karo into it 😁

We decided to eat lunch at Gundaling Farm restaurant , we ordered Bakaran Karo and Nasi Campur Karo, markisa tea and milo milk Bakaran Karo is a fried rice with karo spice , and topped with grilled beef, chicken and sausage , also accompanied with emping mlinjo While nasi campur karo is white rice topped with karonese broth and grilled chicken, sausage and shrimp crackers Both of the menu we ordered was so tasty but their portion is quite large for us , which makes the price quite reasonable for the portion and taste If you are a light eater, I recommend you to share the meal with others

Cimpa Tuang

For me, this is more like serabi in jawa

But probably in western area, more like pancake but this one is using brown sugar as their sweetener

We got dinner of sup iga and sup nila assam pedas

The nila soup was sour but yet savory at the same time, I can barely stop drinking the broth

As I enjoying my food, some stray cats was aiming at my fish hahahha

Ok, technically the restaurant is clean, I’m just not lucky with the cats 😅

Not to degrading the place, but I think this place is a lil bit overrated for me

Yes, the waiter is very friendly, but the foods and drinks are just so-so. Also, it’s quite expensive

We barely can go in as church is out of reach since the pandemic, but you can see the church is very special because of the architecture that has a very traditional Karo touch

This restaurant is hard to miss as they always attract visitors with their crowd They located in the main road and you can see there’s a lot of people parking their car outside You should try their lontong goreng

I know that this is a simple dish, but it taste AMAZING!!
