Medan Toba
What to see in Medan, Indonesia?
If I had to go to Medan, Indonesia, what you say is the best (feature, food, landmark, nature? The story? Architecture) of Medan? Where is the best hotel to stay, (I have a brother, and parents with me)? What are local benchmarks? What are local interests? What I can do when I go "Lake Toba" I heard the best way to move is by taxi. Taxis are reliable and how much often (maximum)? Shopping: What tourists usually find there? p / s: I know you only have to see through the network, but I hope that a local would not move on this issue, it would be great if you do sounds good he he he
I know everyone will say: "Go to Bali" for the beach and everything. But Medan is great. Ensure that it has less tourists compared to Bali, but the food? Yummyy! Balinese Food is nothing compared to food Medan. Let's start with the hotel, the Grand Angkasa, Marriot, Aston and Aryaduta good hotels. Medan is something like Malaysia / Singapore. We have races Chinese, Malay and Indian there. So expect to be pampered with plenty of dining options. I used to stay in "Kampung Keleng" area India or the People and night at Jalan (street) Pagaruyung there is plenty of food. We Martabak Mesir (Mesir = Egypt), which is made from the mixture of eggs with leeks and eat chicken, or lamb and shallot and chile. We also have tiau kwe Kerang (Kwee tiau with small clams), pork Chinese style, which is sweet and crunchy snack in small bite sizes, or pork is very crispy Bataknese because it is roasted. We also have this street called Jalan Selatan Panjang and are famous for fun Chi Chong (Kwee tiau something like pieces of pork or shrimp in it) and Bakpau (bun with chicken or pork in it) Go to our royalty Maymun Istana Malaysian or home Tjong A Fi Kesawan old (he was the richest man in Medan.) Medan mosque or a Hindu temple called Sri Mariama is in Kampung Keleng. Everyone knows almost pull Tumapel. You can visit Samosir island in Lake Toba Batak culture and seeing as u'll there. You can turn the taxi, but it seems a waste of money everywhere the case is near Medan, except Parapat Berastagi or (which is where the Lake Toba). If you want to be adventurous, walking, if you turn the taxi is best to ask your hotel concierge or simply take your car. You can shop at Sun Plaza, but I suggest you wait to get Brastagi or Prapat. If you want to play There are selections of golf, just ask the concierge. Oh, one more treat in Jalan Mangkubumi Dimsum and bee honey duck (something like kwetiau but soft). Do not forget to be in a rickshaw or what we call "Beçak." Have Fun!
