3 Tempat Kuliner Paling Maknyus di Batu!

(Written in Bahasa Indonesia)

Setelah puas dengan kegiatan Paragliding yang begitu menantang - dan masih terasa seperti mimpi ! - waktunya untuk berburu kuliner di kota Batu!

Jangan salah lho, kecil-kecil Batu emang cabe rawit banget, karena ada kuliner-kuliner yang khas dan tentunya maknyus banget di kota Batu ini!

Terletak di satu daerah bernama Alun-Alun Batu, terdapat 3 kuliner wajib coba disini, versi Born To Bite.

1. Sarapan dengan Susu Ganesha

Batu sangat terkenal dengan susu sapi segar yang berkualitas. Jadi, kalau kamu mau mencari sarapan sehat pada pagi hari, tempat ini wajib banget untuk dikunjungi. Terletak di belakang patung apel di alun-alun Batu, Susu Ganesha sudah ramai dikunjungi orang di pagi hari.

Menawarkan produk susu segar berkualitas, dengan harga terjangkau, susu Ganesha ini menjadi sarapan sekaligus susu favoritku selama di kota Batu! Ada 3 rasa utama yang bisa kamu pilih – semuanya seger dan enak bingits – yaitu Vanilla, Strawberry, dan Coklat. Selain susu segar tanpa bahan pengawet tersebut, Susu Ganesha juga menawarkan Yoghurt, dan aneka camilan seperti Pastel dan Lumpia.

2. Makan siang di Ayam Goreng Pemuda

Disaat perut sedang lapar, makan ayam goreng dengan sambal lalapan yang begitu nikmat adalah pilihan paling tepat! Ayam Goreng Pemuda menawarkan ayam goreng kampung dengan bumbu yang cukup manis, daging empuk, dan sambal terasinya bikin kamu semakin bernafsu saat makan!

Jika malas makan ayam goreng, ditempat ini juga tersedia aneka seafood – kepiting juga ada lho! – serta makanan khas Indonesia lainnya seperti rawon. Cocok banget sebagai tempat makan siang bersama keluarga.

3. Makan malam di Bakso Alun-Alun Batu

Ramainya Alun-alun di malam hari!

Tidak hanya ramai di pagi dan siang hari, namun alun-alun Batu terus beraktivitas hingga malam hari. Bahkan, di malam hari suasananya lebih ramai, karena terdapat pasar malam.

Setelah jalan-jalan berkeliling, ditambah dengan udara malam hari yang cukup dingin di Batu, pilihanku jatuh pada gerobak Bakso mungil dengan aroma menggiurkan. Aku pun segera memesan bakso lengkap dengan tahu dan gorengan. 

Wah, sepertinya pilihanku tepat karena kaldu daging didalam kuah begitu terasa, ditambah gorengannya kriuk kriuk... nyam! 

Oh iya, kalau mau pesan bakso ini harap sabar... Bapak penjualnya hobi banget bercerita tentang bakso dan pengalaman hidupnya, hahahaha!

Ini dia 3 tempat kuliner paling maknyus di batu, versi BornToBite. 

Thanks, reader(s)!

Batu : Paragliding at Banyak Mountain, I’m Flying Like a Hawk!!

Batu is an Indonesian language for “Stone”. It’s located on East Java Province, about 30 minutes drive from Malang, or 2 hours and 30 minutes from Surabaya, the second biggest city in Indonesia. Even though it’s not a big city, only 190,000 people in the population, but Batu has so many interesting places to see and activities to do.

From a bunch of activities in Batu, I choose to try their Paragliding, one of the extreme sport, as the first and most wanted list that I must experience in Batu. Actually, I’ve been wanting to try Paragliding since last year, when I had my internship in Jakarta (The Paragliding activity is in Puncak, about 45mins from Jakarta) but I don’t have time :( 

The peak of Banyak Mountain, Indonesia!

That is why, when I heard that there’s also Paragliding sport in Batu, which is not far from Surabaya, I definitely must try that!!

Before departure, I already search some informations from the internet about the Paragliding activity. Well, I can sum it up for you in my post here. Your welcome ! 

Directions :

1. From Batu city, you need to go up hill, follow the road direction with green colour, to Songgoriti. 

2. You’ll go pass Jambuluwuk resort (if you find this, then you’re still in the right direction).

3. After that, you’ll find a Cow Statue, and TURN RIGHT.

4. Becareful, because you’ll find 2 intersections, and there’s a sign of Paragliding there, and again, TURN RIGHT.

5. About 200 - 300 meters from there, there’s again another blurry sign on your right, then you must TURN LEFT. 

6. The alley is a bit small, and you’ll see rice fields there. From there on, follow the sign “PARALAYANG” until you reach your destination. 

NOTE :

The road to the Paragliding is really small, rocky, and it’s near the edge, but don’t worry, just go straight because about 300m from there you’ll arrive at your destination. 

The parking area

Why is it call “Banyak” Mountain ? 

The view from Banyak Mountain

I went there with one of the Paragliding Tandem Mentor, Mas Jhoni. His house is really near my homestay, that’s why I got a chance to met him, had a small talk, and then asked if he could become my mentor for the paragliding. (Yeah, so lucky, I know right!) 

Anyway, Mas Jhoni ever became an athlete that represents Indonesia overseas! Really cool! 

That’s why I also know why this mountain is called Banyak, because Mas Jhoni told me about it. “Banyak” is a Javanese languange for a Goose. Decades before, this mountain was sacred and there were moments when a pack of goose came there, searching for some food. As years goes by, there were none of goose left anymore. 

Paragliding from the peak of Banyak Mountain!

The registration for Paragliding sport is on the right side (behind the girl with blue T-shirt)

It is about 8 a.m, and I already stand there in the peak of Banyak Mountain, ready for my flying experience! The weather is really nice and cloudy, which means the wind is friendly for the Paragliding sport. 

Preparing for the Paragliding!

Approaching the edge of Banyak Mountain! WOHOOOO!!

A brief explanation and preparing my smartphone to record the whole Paragliding!

NOTE: 

1. They’ll provide paragliding equipments and also give you a certificate. 

2. If you want to take pictures, then you need to bring your smartphone / pocket camera / DSLR / Go Pro. They’ll lend you a selfie stick (not available for DSLR) to take picture while flying. 

3. Don’t think about it, FLY and just enjoy the view!

Okay then, let’s FLY LIKE A HAWK!!! 

Flying!!

It's so much fun!!

Here's the video when I'm flying! 

Thanks, reader(s)!
