sunshine after the rain

         Akhirnya setelah vonis tidak menyenangkan dari dokter di Jakarta 2 hari yang lalu, Tuhan masih mengijinkan saya untuk berbahagia. I did a little trip with my bestfriends to a really nice place. Big YEAY ! So, yesterday AdrinaYudha and I  went to ICC in Pandaan (it's actually to celebrate Adrina's birthday). ICC is a multipurpose complex, complete with guesthouses, restaurant, gallery and natural setting of activities such as horse riding, fishing, trekking and camping. Trust me, they have one of artsy building I've ever seen recently.


              "HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ICC?"
          
           Ummhh,well..I heard about this place when I took French course at IFI Surabaya. There's an info about a cultural event, I forgot was it painting exhibition or something, but they held it at ICC. However I thought that that'd be exhausting, Surabaya-Pandaan in weekend?. No, thank you. A week ago, I checked  my facebook account and randomly saw Putri Siregar's photos in a beautiful place. So I asked her where's it and she said ICC Pandaan. Next...i was there yesterday  :)

            "WHAT'S YOUR FIRST IMPRESSIONS?"

            The enterance to the main hall reminds me so much with Ullen Sentalu Museum  *sigh*. The grey sky covered with trees, big one and I felt so glad that I was there. It brings peace because you'll hear nothing but nocturnal animals sounds, though it's still afternoon. The main hall is marvelous, I can't resist to not fall in love with. You can feel the union of art and nature the first time you step out of your car. I already can feel the restaurant will be beautifully bright and cozy and I was never wrong about this one  :)

            "WHAT KIND OF FOOD PREGO HAS TO OFFER?"
           
            You don't have to understand but you'll know Prego is Italian and they're offering Italian delicacies. The concept is semi fine dining, with selections of red and white wine, Pizza, Pasta and Main Course. Last but not least, Italian dessert.

Bruschetta Della Casa

           As every "fine dining" restaurant, they served bread as starter. We've got garlic cheese bread and good Lord! it was so.damn.good. Period. For appetizer I ordered Bruschetta Della Casa. I'm pretty sure that I was not in catharsis mode on because every bite of these breads with mushroom, chopped tomatoes and again, garlic cheese was hot and heavenly delicious.

4 Stagione
           We missed our lunch time so we choosed pizza over main course. 
We choosed 4 Stagione pizza and the topping are mozzarela, capsicum, mushroom, Italian sausage and Italian ham. None of us really care if it's Halal or not because we were exteremly starving. Hahahaha




hot chocolate with fresh milk served with cookies
           














For drinks, Yudha and Adrina ordered hot chocolate with fresh milk and I choosed (back to my classy roots) Earl Grey hot tea.
The hot chocolate almost tastes like Milo maybe because it's too much milk in it. However it's still a good choice in a rainy day.

            Our meals was simple but glut. Yes, all the cheese and bread and chocolate and blablabla. The price we paid for one fun and nice late lunch is good also. After that, we toured the location to take some pictures. Unfortunately because it's raining there I have to postpone my plan to go swimming. Maybe next time, in a hot summer day  :)








































Dan entah disebabkan apa, Adrina mendadak jago ngshoot foto absurd   :|




 

FINALLY ! bisa foto bertiga  :)

             We spent 5 hours in Pandaan and our next destination is Batu. Which that was an accident!, we..umh,Yudha and I didn't plan to go to Batu but the birthday girl begged us and we just want to make her happy so here we go ! The craziest thing is we don't know what to do there. I asked Yudha about Susu KUD Batu because once someone mentioned it to me and I don't know anything about that. Yell heah, I know it's milk but I've never went there. 2 hours later, we found ourselves sitting in a table with hot chocolate milk!. We're so epic. Siang makan keju, malam minum susu  :D

            Happy Birthday, Adrina! I love you every second now and then  :)
