If you ask what they call this public vehicle in Medan, the answer is ...becak motor. Some people say that there is a philosopical reason for this special design. In other places we might find that the becak driver is behind the passanger, somehow in Medan the driver is next to the passanger. Do you know why? they value the principle of equality as the becak driver is equal to the passanger.
Who say that people are after branded fashion only? In Medan they have branded durian. Each seller claims their durian is the best. Some famous brand of durian could send orders to different parts of Indonesia
when you travel a lot like me... the fun is good food and good place to eat. Diarhhea? It's part of traveller's life style I would say.
Medan has humid temperature, but it's a heaven for food. Most people confuse Medan with Batak , as the matter of fact when you mention Medan's authentic cuisine, they will call it Medan Melayu food. It's similar to Padang food, but it's different.
What to eat in Medan? Try this :
Look like Padang food , right?
But they have less spices, less hotter,too --which is good for my spoiled stomach. They have many kinds of seafood. Look at the prawns!!!
Next time, we'll be in Berastagi !!!
