PLACES TO VISIT AT PADANG, INDONESIA

Yesterday post was on 2 nights at Bukit Tinggi and today will be on Padang. I stayed 1 night at here. I don't really like the messy environment at Padang. I preferred Bukit Tinggi where is more calm and greenery view.

We reached Padang at about evening and end up requesting the driver to bring us somewhere to enjoy seafood dinner with sunset view.



Padang Beach is beautiful with sunset


Lovely view on our first night in Padang.

The next day which is final day for us. We end up travel one hour from hotel , climbing up the hill to visit the beach with the replica of 'Malim Kundang'.

Malim Kundang is a legend of poor man who left parent to seek opportunity else where and he end up married a rich man daughter. He came back to his hometown by ship with his rich and beautiful wife. The parent was very happy to hear his coming and the poor old parent went by the ship with Malim Kundang's favourite food 'smoke banana'. Malim Kundang is a bad son. He pretended not to know his poor parent and refused to acknowledge him.

Mother was very upset so pray him to be cursed. He end up become stone together with the ship.


See the knee down man and the ship ropes and barrels too???
I doubt its the original and this is the human built replica but those people around keep insisting this is the original and not man made except for the 'Malim Kundang's head which is rebuilt due to missing from it place.


Is this the true one?

I am not sure. It look like the original rock instead of man made though!


On the way to airport we pass through the 'Siti Nurbaya's Bridge' and this come with another legend too. Like my driver said, Bukit Tinggi and Padang is full with legends.

We pass through a very small China Town too.


Dad insist on taking photo at Padang beach for last time before we go to airport.


Again my Dad who is a retired army insist to stop at the Cemetery of the patriot and also the biggest university of Padang.

There you go our 4D/3N touring Bukit Tinggi - Padang, West Sumatera.

My next post will be on what I ate in Bukit Tinggi - Padang trip.

Honest Review: Sunplay Skin Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Serum UV

  When I first picked up the Sunplay Skin Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Serum UV , the sleek blue bottle already gave me that “hydrating luxury” vibe. Unlike the usual heavy sunscreens or sticky sunblocks, this one feels more like a skincare serum than a typical sunscreen. That’s the first big difference ! It’s marketed as a serum UV , not just a sunblock. Texture & Application The texture is lightweight, almost watery-gel like, and it spreads effortlessly across the skin. No greasy residue, no sticky film, and most importantly.....  no white cast . This is a huge win for those of us who hate looking like a ghost after applying sunscreen. It absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling supple and hydrated, almost like you’ve just applied a hydrating essence. This is where it stands out! It doesn’t just sit on top of your skin to block UV rays, it actually locks in hydration thanks to the 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid (HA, Absorbent HA, Nano HA). Think of it as a sunscreen that doubles ...

Cosmoderm Luminous A Retinol Review

In general, most people are advised to start using retinol in their mid-20s. Why do we need retinol for our skin? Well, this is because collagen and elastin production starts to slow down. Adding retinol into our skincare routine at age of 25 to 30 is the perfect time to slow down the ageing process. So, what is retinol that people are hyping about? In short, retinol is a topical product containing a vitamin A derivative. Technically speaking a type of retinoid which works to increase collagen production. It helps to treat acne, and blackheads and is also ideal to improve skincare texture such as minimising fine lines, and wrinkles and brightening dull skin. Personally, I am a beginner in adding Retinol into my skincare routine. At the age of 47 years old. I guess, am afraid to start one because I read many side effects if use it wrong.  What is the side effect if you use retinol wrong?  Retinols can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. So, it is advisable to apply th...
