Gotcha!

This Buddhist man was so funny. He said if I publish the pictures i took secretly before finally got caught up, I have to erase the umbrella on his head. Hahaha!

Rohadi & The Coconut Trees

Rohadi sedang sibuk menuang nira ke dalam batang - batang bambu miliknya saat saya mendekat untuk mencoba nira segar yang langsung diambil pohon kelapa di sekitar Candi Borobudur. Pembawaannya sangat supel, dan selalu meminta kerjasama pembeli untuk memegangkan plastik sementara dia menuang dan menyaring nira seharga 3K itu.

Sebenarnya, air nira hasil sadapannya tidak untuk dijual tapi untuk dibuat gula Jawa. Namun jika ada pengunjung Candi yang ingin merasakan air nira yang fresh from the tree akan tetap dilayani karena pihak candi sebetulnya tidak memperbolehkan Rohadi menjual hasil sadapan nira itu.

Rohadi sudah menjadi penyadap air nira sejak tahun 1992, tepatnya sejak rumahnya menjadi korban penggusuran untuk perluasan area wisata disekitar Candi Borobudur. Disana, Rohadi adalah penguasa 14 pohon kelapa yang bisa disadap air niranya. Tapi ternyata pohon - pohon itu rupanya bukan pemberian cuma - cuma karena setiap hari Rohadi harus membayar 50 Rupiah untuk setiap pohon kelapa yang disadapnya.

Dengan dua anak yang harus disekolahkan, Rohadi naik turun pohon kelapa setiap pagi dan sore sementara siang harinya digunakan untuk bertani di kampungnya yang tidak jauh dari Borobudur.

It's a hardknock life for him, tapi senang sekali melihat Rohadi tetap bersemangat menjalankan pekerjaannya ini. You rock, man!

Anyway, Es Dawet super segar ini bukan menu resto ini lho. Bisa tebak nggak? :D

Jadi inilah hasil buruan ke dalam pasar Kadipolo di depot kecil bernama Es Dawet Pak Cip. Tanya aja sama orang pasar pasti pada tau deh! Minuman segar ini beda dari es dawet lainnya karena tanpa santan dan segar karena perasan jeruk nipis di dalamnya. Oh iya, Cendol ini juga dibuat sendiri oleh Pak Cip yang sudah lebih dari 26 tahun berjualan di pasar Kadipolo. Seriously fresh!!

Yes It's Junk Food

Spotted at Lustrum SMA 4, Cheese burger (14K) and Nachos (9K). Honestly ... i don't know how to eat burger without looking like a barbaric. Looks delicious, though :)

Good Festive

Do I look like I spend too much time in this place? Oh yes I did! :D

Jadi, tiap malam minggu selalu ada promo masakan disini. Bulan ini temanya adalah masakan Eropa, habis makan langsung pinter berbahasa Slavia deh *hiperbola*. Dari semua menu yang disajikan secara buffet, favorit gue adalah Panacotta, semacam puding legit yang berasal dari daerah Italia bagian selatan. Lembuuuuuttt seperti aku! *backsound kaca pecah berhamburan*

Nah, ngilerlah dulu sebelum beli sendiri, ya! :D

Room 324

Kalo kemaren udah ngebahas soal Food and Beverage, sekarang sesuai janji gue terusin reviewnya yah! Kalo sedang mengunjungi kota Solo yang makin hari makin meriah, this is the best place to stay when you're in town. Ada beberapa alasan :

1. Deket dari mana - mana.
2. Wi-fi free nggak perlu pake voucher ( emang kite mau isi pulsa, cyiin. hare gini?).
3. Tempat sekeren apapun kalo yang satu ini nggak ada, jangan harap ada kesan. KERAMAHAN.
4. Breakfastnya ampyuuuunnnnn deh!
5. Banyak fasilitas ini itu anu yang bisa dicobain.
6. Jangan terkecoh dengan jumlah Bintang yang disandang. Untuk Food and Beverage, harga di hotel ini sangat reasonable.
7. Online Reservation, jadi bisa pesen buat jauh - jauh hari. Siapa tau pas ada harga promo.
8. Entertainment di Hotel yang paling hidup kayaknya ya cuma disini deh. Serius.

So how much do we have to pay for this? Biar nggak bertanya - tanya, gue kasih gambaran harga bulan Mei ini yah? Gue rasa tidak akan terlalu jauh bedanya di bulan - bulan ke depan.

Rp. 600.000,-net/room/night included :
