Souvernirshops...: I've reported it...
  • Tip Rating:

  • We saw them all over town ,
    but in this little street it was the worst.
    Prepared sea turtles. I think it is sad to see
    these endagered species varnished and
    sold as a souvenir.

    For your information , it are illegal souvenirs.
    They are illegal on Java so IF you get them out
    of the country , chances are little that you'll
    get them into yours.

    I know there are people who think that
    C.I.T.E.S-law is a lot of bull.
    And it probably isn't perfect.
    I think it would be sad to loose a magnificient
    species like this , just because some people
    think they look better on a wall.
    (and because of some profit made by selling them)

    NOTHING!


    Not knowing things is not an excuse
    Ignorance is a disease that can be cured.

    I hope in the feature the government can
    work out a plan to offer alternative ways of
    getting an income. Most likely it will be
    foreign organisations that will set up some
    aid program.

    The market.: A lot of local flair...
  • Tip Rating:

  • One day we went to the market...
    I got a perfect orientation feeling. So we first
    did our walk through the fields and
    the we went searching for the market we
    saw the day we arrived , not that far from
    the bus stop.

    It looks like every other market in Indonesia ,
    a lot of wooden stalls , some food corners ,
    a bit muddy , a ....

    Whatever you feel like buying.
    Food , music , soap , sweets.....

    verry little , this is not the tourist shop.
    This is were the locals come shopping.

    Beach - Galery Bakery: We want to go picnicking...
  • Tip Rating:

  • A lot on the sign was trying to convince us
    this was a tourist shop with a lot of
    international goodies.

    Well we did find some things we found
    acceptable. Everything has got that holland
    bakery feeling. Meaning , rubber , sticky...lol.
    But it was okay.
    I think it was quit fresh also. Fresh from the
    oven they say themselves...and it had real
    butter in it. That is rather a rare ingredient overhere.

    Donuts , rolls with banana in it and chocolate....

    Donut , 2500ir

    DURIAN: Durian, Green Stinky Fruit
    royjava-durian-pangandaran - Pangandaran

    The durian fruit comes from the durian tree, found in the jungle rainforest (Malaysia, Thailand & Indonesia). I love the brown to green fruit, always taking care of the strong sharp thorns. Especially when split (mostly 5 parts) and watching the creamy, yellow pulp. I know a lot of people dislike the smell and overpowering aroma, making the durian an infamous fruit of the tropics ...

    See the best Fruit-lover ever!
    BIGBENDA

    It's forbidden to bring the durian into hotels and public transportation (see Singapore) and the cry "Tastes like heaven, smells like hell!" got famous for it.

    Also in Pangandaran I was lucky to get durian, where you could eat this remarkable fruit undisturbed on the terrace of our accommodation ... and sooo cheap ...
    RIDICULOUS & DELICIOUS!!!

    You have to tawar, ie. bargain, offering one third of the offered price. So you can pay 1000 Rp. or 2000 Rp. Depends ...

    Gula Aren - Palm Sugar: GULA JAWA - Coconut Sugar
    bargain-palmsugar-west-java - Pangandaran
    bargain-palmsugar-west-java
    by RoyJava
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Traditionally almost all of Indonesians uses red & white as their sacred colours (Indonesian flag is red-white), resembling the colour of sugar (red in colour because the sugar comes from palm-sugar, "gula aren" = palm-sugar) and rice (white in colour). So you always can find rice and sugar in the daily Indonesian cuisine.

    The Javanese "gula jawa" (coconut palm), however, is more well-known as "gula aren" (sugar palm). It is used on a daily basis as a sweetener. Did you know the sweet sap from various palms is used to make "toddy", which is the well-known "arak" and tastes like white rum?

    I've watched how palm sugar (gula aren) got extracted from the coconut flower or aren palm and, boiled and packed into molds to make sugar with a faint caramel taste. Remarkable is that the Orang Baduis (original West-Javanese race) produce the best "gula aren" which you can buy on the market, or sometimes along the road. It is that ridiculously cheap (some Eurocents) so I got the chance to buy a lot of Orang Baduis-gula aren near Pantai Batu Keras. I knew I had to "tawar" (bargain) and felt so embarrassed to do ... read some more with VT friend BelgianChocolate >>>

    How to make palm sugar

    Some Eurocents a piece ... unbelievable

    Puppets With Movable Heads: WAYANG GOLEK
    Once avoiding these 3-dimensional wooden puppets I love the weird-looking figures. And always sneeking into the shops around where you can buy these, even the common touristy ones. Better ask around for someone who can take you to a privat puppet master, Northerly of Pangandaran. Beautiful exceptionally fine Wayang Golek puppets!!!

    These 3-dimensional wooden puppets probably originated on the North coast of Java and are particulary popular in West Java. See the beautiful details and exceptional refinement, hand-made cotton clothes and, symbols all over!

    From 10 to 100 Euro for some fine Wayang Golek
