We only had Farang food (a.k.a Honey pancakes) and Super Mi so far and was real hungry for some real Indonesian makan. Walked past a Muslim food store selling nasi padang style makan and locals were patrolinsing. We went in and ordered ourselves quite a lot of food. The food was ok though I wished it was warmer (except for the rice).

For the rest of the day, I was like just stoning around. Took a nap and woke up with a thrist. Went to the Tuak shop at 3pm in the afternoon and spent a solid 5 hours there. Had 5 Tuaks and 14 Marlboros..

Tried a piece of Anjing (Dog). Thought it tasted like Babi (Pork). I puked and had a stomach upset during the night. Not sure whether it was due to the Tuak or the Anjing.

   

Lunch was Ikan Goreng (Fried Fish), Curry Nangka (jackfruit curry), Udang Goreng (Fried prawns ad ate together with the shell) and Sapi Rendang (Beef Curry). The warm white rice was good. We ate with our bare hands. Typical Sumatran food. I told the nice lady to give me Porsi Kechil (small portion) but we still can't finish. I was damn full. I had a bottle of Sorso Tea (Bottle tea giant in Indonesia). Overall cost about Rp38,000 (S$6.70).
Daging Anjing (Dog meat). Looks like the breast bone. This was eaten together with a Sambal sauce.
Catherina playing with her stationary.
Nasi Groeng at the Batak House. Rp5,000. Comes with an egg, cucumber, tomatoes and vegetables. It was ok.
Catherina and her mother.
A young Batak and his dog. I wondered when will the dog end up on our dinner table.
Sup Anjing with Tuak (looks like milk tea). I had a bowl. Just like any home cooked soup with carrots.
Cloudy Toba and the evening sun. Recieved source from Singapore that Toba is going to errupt again. The last time it errupted was 35,000 years ago.
Yes, yes. It's me doing the social smoking thinge. Just wanted to feel cool.
Breakfast was Lotong. Porsi Kechil Kechil (very small). It had some Bee Hoon with it (though I not sure whether the Bataks call it Bee Hoon as well). The Telur Sambal was good though.
