Just another random day trip to Solo (Central Java) by train with a friend.
Only a map (I mean GPS) and decent shoes to walk for miles, we are ready to dig the vintage charms of the town.
First stop: Kusuma Sari Restaurant & Ice Cream
 |
| Cola milk |
 |
| I've actually been here before to try the splendid Sup Matahari. Now, it is the unique Stik Lidah's turn :9 |
Next stop: Soto Triwindu
The decoration of the stall is an old traditional javanese typical, but what makes it cute is the table that looks like a school desk :3
Next, the actual purpose of the trip: the legend studio recording, Lokananta
If you want to know more about Lokananta's history, just click here (in Indonesian)
 |
| The architecture of the building reminds me a bit of my middle school somehow |
 |
| The old vinyls collection produced by Lokananta itself. Too bad it isn't for sale. |
The studio recording...
 |
| The super huge recording studio with a set of gamelan... I guess it is quite spooky |
 |
| The attendance machine for the workers, surprisingly it is still well-working including the clock and the date |
Last stop: Es Krim Tentrem
 |
| Tutti frutty ice cream |
 |
| Mine, robin rose (kopyor & strawberry ice cream) |
Compared with other old ice cream shop around Indonesia (Zangrandi in Surabaya, Tiptop in Yogyakarta, Toko Oen in Malang & Semarang --didn't know about Ragusa in Jakarta, never been there), this cafe peculiarly sells the cheapest ice cream. The average price of them is only IDR 10.000 which means it is only $1.
I guess that is all. Taking train back to Jogja with loud students that have just come back from their student community service, that was quite tiring.
Till later,
C.
