29 April-5 May 2007 Took leaved for 3 days and we got 7 days vacation to Medan, Indonesia. When we departed at Polonial Airport at 8.15 am, there were 2 officers and 2 pak supir from IRRI were waiting for us with 2 Toyota MPV (locals named it "Kijang"). We were brought to have breakfast with locals dish so called pecal..it different from Malaysian pecal (almost sayur with kuah kacang only)..but Indonesian pecal were added with mee suaw and some kind of nasi impit that were wrap with banana leaves...also hot and spicy kuah kacang...perghhh...sedap juga. After that we went to Pajak (pasar) Ikan. There are no fish there but a lot of batiks, lace, telekong, and jilbab ala2 Bu Arini...heheh..already spent 60% of our budject for only half a day here. Finished shopping we were paid for lunch with minang dishes at Bt. Tinggi Restaurant..I'm confused with so many lauk especially from sapi...ada otak sapi lemak kuning with local fruits juice like markisa, alpukat (avocado), terung ...
