Medan, Indonesia In 3 Minutes
Again, another short escape over the weekend (18 to 20 Nov 2016) and this time, I went to Medan, Indonesia. Medan is located in North Sumatra & it is the 3rd largest city after Jakarta & Surabaya. Arrived on Friday late evening and didn't manage to get any clips. The next day, woke up at 05:00 hours as a driver to pick us up at 06:30 hours to start our tour to Taman Simalen Resort. Enroute to the resort, first stop was at the Lumbini Natural Park where you can see the replica of Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmmar. It only opens at 09:00 hours and we were there 1 hour earlier so only able to snap some photos from the entrance. Taman Simalen Resort was 3 hours away and the main attraction was the Lake Toba. The locals called it Danau Toba. It's a large natural lake occupying the caldera of a supervolcano. The lake is about 100 kilometres long, 30 kilometres wide, and up to 505 metres (1,666 ft) deep & surface elevation of 900 metres. The sight was magnificent ( but it will be good if it wasn't that cloudy)! The best view in the resort to view the lake is to head to One Tree Hill as it is the highest viewing point in the resort.
After that it was lunch time & left Taman Simalem Resort to Sipisopiso Waterfall (about 1 hour drive) Due to time constraints, it was see, snap and shoot . After that another 90 minutes drive to Berastagi Fruit Market. You see lots of colourful fruits and vegetables that are locally farmed ( and for export too ) I am not sure if you notice those bright orange carrots as I'm pretty sure the ones I see back in Singapore aren't in such bright colors! Free sampling are available at most of the stalls & I must say the passion fruit was the best! Though it look pale but it tasted sweet (and cheap too!)
Later on another few hours on the MPV back to Medan city. It was pretty late and I was (very hungry). I managed to get some where to eat tips for local food which is in Brastagi Mall ( thanks to Christina) There is a supermarket in the mall and next to it a food court which serves local food. The food court called Kedai Pojok. For all the food clips you see, it cost only SGD 17.00 which was pretty cheap.
Lastly, the must do and eat in Medan is Ucok Durian ; it is a restaurant but they serve only DURIANS! Durian is a thorny husk like fruit and once opened, some likened the smell of the fruits as overnight socks with fouling cheese smell but I personally loved it a lot as it tastes sweet and creamy. Whether you like it or not, this is a must place to visit and must eat when you are in Medan. The locals paid about SGD 3.00 onwards per fruit ; I've paid mine for SGD 4.00 which was pretty reasonable (and cheap too!)
Also thanks for Charlene ( the girl in red sweater ) for getting the private driver in this trip , also to Christina for her foodie tips in Medan - terima kasih ( it means thank you in Indonesian) !

Sipiso piso Waterfall North Sumatra Indonesia
Sipiso piso is a plunge in the Sumatran Batak plateau. It is formed by a small Karo highland subterranean stream which throws itself from a cave on the lake side of the caldera toba about 120 meters (360 feet) down to the surface of the lake. This fact produced the highest waterfall title in Indonesia. Sipisopiso is a popular tourist attraction and the nearest viewpoint offers stunning views of the fall and lake.
Sipisopiso Waterfall is located in Tanah karo Regency, at the northernmost tip of the caldera of Lake Toba, close to the fishing village of Tongging. The nearest municipality, about 25 kilometers away, is the town of Kabanjahe.
