Bikin Swike Ayam Purwodadi

Swike dan Purwodadi adalah dua hal yang identik. Minimal itulah pandangan banyak orang yang tahu tentang yang namanya Swike Purwodadi. Purwodadi itu di mana? Purwodadi is a small town located approximately 50 kilometers east of Semarang, the Capital of Central Java.

Sangat identik memang.. Tapi sayang ya... sayang, kodok karena not all people eat Swike because it is made of mainly the frog. 

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANNA EAT THIS CUTE CREATURE????!

Sunset in Bogor

I didn’t know the hotel I booked comes with this kind of view. From the rooftop of Royal Hotel Bogor, some side of the city opens wide. As you can see in the distance, Gunung Salak stands calm against the evening sky.  The Cisadane River is shimmering quietly, winding through neighborhoods that has already begun to dim.  Looking downward, train tracks run like a quiet underline to the day’s last sentence.  Last bu not least, the sun is dipping lower. No rush. No drama.

Rica-Rica Entog and Nasi Liwet at Simpang Lima Semarang

Last Saturday night (4/19/2025), my wife and I made a 10-kilometer trip from our home in Mranggen to enjoy dinner at Simpang Lima, the heart of the city’s culinary scene. We ordered a delicious plate of rica-rica entog ( spicy duck stew ) with white rice (Rp50,000) and nasi liwet ayam ( chicken coconut rice ) (Rp25,000). The spicy, flavorful rica-rica and the savory nasi liwet were perfectly paired with refreshing es sirup (Rp10,000), es teh (Rp5,000), and crispy kerupuk (Rp2,000). The generous portions made it well worth the price. Dining at Simpang Lima isn’t just about the food—it’s about the vibrant atmosphere, lively crowd, and the energy of the night. The combination of amazing dishes and the unique ambiance made our visit truly unforgettable, EXCEPT THE HEAT!!

Karang Payung Beach: A Pristine Gem on Java's Southern Coast

On April 3rd, during the Eid holiday break, I found myself standing above one of Java’s hidden gems—Karang Payung Beach. With its soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waves, and a pristine stretch of shoreline, this place felt like a private paradise carved away from the world. The beach is tucked beneath lush cliffs, with natural rock formations creating a dramatic view that invites you to pause and just breathe in the beauty. It’s not a crowded destination, which makes it perfect for those seeking peace and solitude amidst nature. The waves rolled in rhythmically, crashing gently against the rocks, while the bright blue sky met the vast ocean on the horizon. This was the kind of view that made the Eid holiday feel even more meaningful—a moment of reflection and quiet joy, far from the bustle of everyday life. If you're looking for a tranquil getaway in southern Java, Karang Payung is a must-visit. Just be prepared for a bit of a hike down—but the vie...
