Another post on Medan trip. We continued eating at different places. On Friday evening we ate at Dimsum Ayong at Babura street. It was raining hard and the place was located at a dead end road. But there were still many people. What I learned was do not judge the taste of the food from its appearance. The first food was white kway teow. It did not look tasty at all. But once we tried, it was really nice. The other foods were nice too. On Saturday, we ate at Restoran Ana which is also at Orion street like Hawwi seafood. The place was simple but the food taste was great too. On the evening, we went to eat at Marco seafood at Cemara Asri complex. The crab was really tender. I also learned that there is something called ikan ayam-ayam or ikan kambing-kambing of which English name is Starry Tigerfish.
Aside from the eating, we managed to go to two malls, Sun Plaza and Centre Point. As for the cultural attraction, we went to Tjong A Fie mansion in the city centre and Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni which is located 40 minutes from the city. The latter is a church built for Tamil community but then open for all. It was my first time to see a church where we need to take off our shoes before entering the building. The architecture was also unique. At the same time, it makes me wonder about the boundary of contextualization and pluralism.
