Sate Padang

Posted on August 28, 2011 by admin

A night food stall near my house sells sate padang. A dish from Padang, Western Sumatra. It’s traditionally made with beef in Padang but in Medan chicken and lamb are commonly used. This particular sate padang was chicken (ayam). The spicy yellow sauce on top is made from rice flour, turmeric, ginger, garlic, coriander, galangal… Continue reading

Banda Aceh and the Tsunami Sites

Posted on August 20, 2011 by admin

Before I go any further. For reading purposes. Aceh is pronounced: “AH-chay” I wanted to see more of Banda Aceh so on my final morning in Aceh I rented a motorcycle and after eating a quick breakfast I made the 17k trip into the city center. I was armed with only a simple tourist map… Continue reading

In the, Where Will Joey End Up Sweepstakes, Thailand is starting to fall precariously behind. I arrived to the island of Penang off the west coast of Malaysia earlier this week in an attempt to secure a 90 day education visa for my stay in Thailand.

Samosir Island, Lake Toba

Posted on February 27, 2011 by admin

Emiel and I reunited with the jungle trek gang in Lake Toba earlier in the week. Reike and Frida left after two nights and then Liz and Emiel followed soon after.
