First Trip to Medan

Yesterday my wife and I reached Medan, our first time to be there. The focus of this trip is to relax and eat. We have been eating many kinds of food. Once we reached Medan yesterday, we ate at Simpang Tiga restaurant serving Padang food with their delicious rendang. I also tried terong belanda juice. We ate at Nelayan Shanghai Kitchen, a Halal Chinese food for dinner. Today, we ate at Hawwi seafood, trying the crab with Padang sauce. After a second trip to Sun Plaza mall, we dropped by at La Maison pattisserie to buy their macarons. They have so many flavors, some of which are weird - we didn’t try: such as rendang and mie goreng flavor. Since they did not serve any drink and no seating available, we went to Ismud park, a cafe nearby. We ate the cakes there together with pisang goreng coklat keju and Martabak Buddy’s mini consisting of four different slices with different flavors: ovomaltine, nutella, toblerone and cheese.

Aside the food, I learned three things: one is to accept my feeling. In the morning I was still moody and I learned to accept that often I will feel moody in the morning, something that is not realistic to be changed in a short period of time. Second is that somehow there will be a time to learn, no need to force. For example I learned from talking to my wife’s uncle and cousin about color mapping, customer preference, and digital printing. Third, there is a quote I saw in Ismud park: happiness is when we stop comparing ourselves with other people.
