It would be crazy not to make a post just on the food in Indonesia so I just had to make one!
We only stayed in Bondowoso for a night and spent the rest of the trip in Surabaya.
My cousin brought me to a bakery and they have the cutest bread/pastries! I mean look at the little turtle and bird. Personally I'm not a big fan of chocolate so i opted out and got a banana pastry instead. Oh and right outside the supermarket they have a great little bubble tea shop called Quickly. I became a regular there during my short trip! If you ever get the chance try it!
After awhile I went along with my other cousin to the mall and got some really good cheesecake. Drinking coffee in 90 degree weather? Yup totally.
I forgot to take pictures of these two fruit while I was there so I got my cousin to send me a picture. The first one is called a durian. For some it is a sweet, tangy, custardy fruit from heaven. Um yea for some..For me and a ton of others it smells bad. So bad that Singapore made it illegal to have one in public areas. The taste isn't any better, it's actually really hard to describe. But to the people in Indonesia it's called "King of the Fruits".
The second fruit on the other hand is really good. Longan is fresh, sweet, and small. It would be perfect for on the go if it didn't have any seeds. They have really good shaved ice flavored like that!
When we went back to my aunt's house we found this little basket of Tape waiting for us. It's basically fermented cassava root that has an alcoholic taste. It tastes great with vanilla ice-cream! You should only put a little though, its really strong.
My aunt brought me to a little bakery called Igor's. They had some really nice looking desserts and some cool breads. We ended up buying some nastar and macaroons. The pineapple nastar was really good but the macaroons were okay.
It wouldn't be possible to live in a 90 degree climate without ice-cream! My cousin brought me to an ice-cream shop called Mon Cheri, formerly Sangrandi. The ice-cream there is really different, its like a cross between gelato and sherbet. And yes those are cornflakes, Fruity Pebbles would be better but hey it's pretty good.
Another thing I almost forgot was that the portions there are so small. Albeit they are very cute but hey I need my ice-cream. In real life the sunday was probably the size of those two round cups put together.
~I lost a ton of my food pictures so my cousins are going to send me some,so this post is definitely getting updated
