Indonesia West Sumatra Trip. Day 4-5: Padang

Indonesia West Sumatra Trip. Day 4-5: Padang - Kuala Lumpur

The final day coming so soon. We made our way back to Padang and spent one nights before catching early inbound flight on the next day. I just combines these two days into single post.

Half-way backed to Padang, we stopped at Padang Panjang for Sate Mak Syukur lunch. Sate available in the morning, which is not norm in Malaysia. The gravy was bit different and tasted more spicy than our sambal kacang.

An hour apart, we stopped for lunch at Rumah Makan Lamun Ombak. We decided to tour the city of Padang before late checked-in to Rocky Plaza Hotel.

The restaurant was packed with patronage

Me with the driver cum tour guide

Kalau ada nasi himpit ni lagi best..

Theme-park located at sub-urban area

We were still filled with sate, but still got spaces for lunch.

Our favorites absolutely the sambal ijo

We briefly stopped at still under construction state mosque

The mosque will be named as Masjid Raya Sumatera Barat

The Siti Nurbaya bridge connecting Nipah street to Batang Arau

The Batang Arau river

Not so clean Pantai Air Manis

Late check-in..

Welcoming drinks provided

Nak jugak dia punya sendiri..

After a short rest, we went out for dinner. We asked our tour guide to eat at most local people going to. He brought us to Soto Garuda restaurant and it doesn't failed us.

Long corridor..

The restaurant opens until 9 pm

A must-try dish called soto padang.

Then, it was time to go back... bye-bye West Sumatera

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record. This post will be updated from time to time. Some of the trip may have a specific write-up and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings. It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..

Shopping sakan di Langkawi

Kenangan bersama mak... Bulan januari yang lepas, rombongan keluarga Perak buat trip ke Melaka. Sekarang giliran keluarga Johor pulak pegi berjalan.. errr bershopping sakan di Langkawi. Kalau nak diikutkan, gambar tengah syiok bershopping lagi banyak. Tapi takde sapa yang snap gambar . Hujung minggu kali nie serentak dengan Tahun Baru Cina.. ALhamdulillah dapat kumpulkan adik-beradik bersekali ngan mak ayah, buat trip ke Langkawi. Cuma keluarga adik yang bongsu pergi lebih awal. Dapat la die snap gambar kat Langkawi airport. Pagi hari pertama kami ke KLIA dan tinggalkan kereta kat sana. Takut terlebih2 shopping masa balik nanti, payah pulak nak sewa van. Jadi kami bawak kereta memasing. Kadar parking lebih kurang RM150 untuk 4 hari 3 malam. Bila buat kira2, lebih kurang je dengan sewa teksi pergi balik ke KLIA.
