My Hometown

About my hometown

Solo, Central Java

I was born in Jakarta, but parents from my mom is from Solo, Central Java. Sometimes when Idul Fitri me and my big family go to solo to meet uncle, aunty, cousin, and nephew. At solo from one place to another place is so close so we just walk to go to another place or by pedicab (becak). The weather in Solo is so hot in the afternoon but in the night is so cold. The most famous food at Solo is Nasi Liwet. Nasi Liwet is made from the rice mix with vegetable squash with a little spicy, boiled egg, shredded chicken, kumut(made of coconut milk). And then it served with banana leaf. The taste is so yummy and tasteful.

When I am at Solo, sometimes I eat Nasi Liwet for breakfast with my family. The most famous place in Solo is The Palace. At The Palace we can see history about Solo and the leader in The Palace from year to year.  If you want to buy craft from solo or buy some batik dress or batic fabric or maybe if you want to buy some traditional food from solo for souvenirs you can buy it in Klewer market. Theres a lot of things you can buy in Klewer because they sell everything from bag, clothes, fabric, craft, traditional food and many more. And the price is not too expensive. You can haggling with the seller because the seller is so kind and friendly. And then you can buy anything you want in Klewer without worrying about expensive price.
