Indonesia Trip 2019: Back to Jakarta (July 26th-July 28th)

We returned to Jakarta in the morning, and for the rest of the day my sister and I took a nap...well, it's more of we went to sleep. I woke up for dinner, but my sister didn't wake up until around 15 hours later. For the whole trip we had been getting up early and going to sleep late, so naturally, we needed some time to catch up on our sleep.

The first thing we did on the next day was eat mie alip, which is some really good bakmi, noodles with chicken, some vegetables, and some wonton as well. I'm salivating just thinking about it! In the picture below, we're in the upstairs of the building, so if you go and there's a lot of people downstairs, considering going upstairs. It was empty up here while it was packed downstairs.

Then, me, my mom, and sister, went to Bogor, the place where my grandmother grew up. We visited the Botanical Gardens there, and happened to be there when the President of Indonesia was there. There are a lot of plants and very tall trees.

We ate some ngohiang, which is some vegetables, potatoes, and meat in a sort of gravy. It's very good.

Then, for dinner, we joined up again to eat Bebek Begil, or duck. This is more food that I'm just salivating while thinking about it. The tea with lychee is really yummy too! To get there, since there were a lot of us and we didn't want to battle the traffic, we used the MRT system.

The next day was also a quiet day. We went shopping, and also ate some martabak. There is martabak manis and martabak telur. Martabak manis is like a thick pancake with chocolate and nuts inside. Normal martabak is more savory and uses egg. Both of which are delicious, so if you have the chance, definitely try some!
