Sulawesi Surprise! : Not so Great Expectations

on
If coffins, skeletons and skull put you off, I bet they would still not put you off lunch, would they? It definitely did not put the busload of us off. By Torajan standard, I suppose we had had a sumptuous lunch after our visit to the burial site. We had rice with corn soup, chicken and some other dishes. Lunch was better than the dinner we had had when we first arrived at Rantepao. The place overlooked green paddy fields and had a cute little garden. It was definitely more posh and this of course, is also by Tana Toraja standard. Don't expect modern high rise buildings or big shopping malls in Tana Toraja and don't even dream of a supermarket or a well stocked shop. Just enjoy your lunch, won't you?          35


Do you like the plant in the garden?










Traveling Tip: Enjoy your lunch!

Footiam, read more about the plane which the book categorized as high security. Admire your guts. Btw your chicken for lunch seems to float on oil. Right? Anyway, I am for anything when I travel, even the Dutch's "smelly toufo" (Cheese Voundu)Like your style of releasing your experience, little by little, blog by blog. Tks for sharing.

What book and what plane? In Tana Toraja, I am in a very special plane. Didn't notice the oil then and the chicken did taste 'extra' delicious. I have heard about the Chinese smelly toufu but not of the Dutch's. Thanks for sharing too.
