Bogor Weekend

 A weekend in Bogor, an hour away from Jakarta.

Weather up here is cooling, reminded me of Cameron Highlands. 

 Simple lunch for the three of us

 The house keeper brought us a mountain of corns! :)

 Someone knocked on the door offering pony ride.

 BIL and GF went for the pony ride while hubby and me took  FIL's precious out for a ride. It's so funny to imagine old people riding scooter up the mountain, i meant my MIL and FIL, 几 lomantic 一下. 

 Tea plantation

 Found a resort on the mountain, The Pinewood.

 The organic stretch of The Pinewood, they grow and deliver organic greens to Jakarta. 

 Organic market, this is a gem. If you ever tried vegetable steamboat on Cameron Highland you will know how sweet and crisp mountain vegetation are. So fresh, so sweet, so affordable. 

 Cutest pumpkin i ever seen

So much of organic veges plus a small pumpkin for less than 10 SGD.  

 Vege with korean dipping sauce Ssamjang 쌈장

Started drizzling, couldn't use the outdoor BBQ pit, lucky there is a portable one.  

MIL's marinated beef prime riibs (bulgogi) is so succulent, all of us just gathered around the BBQ stand waiting for them to be cooked. 

 BBQ pumpkin

 BBQ corn here is so sweet, we didn't even add butter or salt.

 BBQ sweet potato

 MIL's two new baby German Shepherd, she got them a few months ago after this house got broken into.

They are babies but they are not cute and very aggressive. The husband got multiple scratches and holes on his new tee shirt. I am hiding behind the doors peeking through the window watching them play. 

Bye babies, see you again soon.

Bangkok Shopping

 Lemon tea hotel, proximity to platinum shopping mall.

 They served you ice lemon tea upon check in.

 Lunch in Greyhound is delectable, i love everything here. 

 Seaweed salad

 Complicated noodle. Rice paper, minced meat, sauce and cabbage. 

 Some pasta i cant remember what it is but i cant stop eating them!

 Dinner in the over rated Som Tum.

 Remember to ask for less spicy, their chili will kill you!

Roasted pork

 My ever promising massage place beside Som Tum called Let's Relax, we even bumped into Melody there without prearrangement. 

 Breakfast in Lemon Tree Hotel is delightful :)
