11/23 finally mesilau

the distance between the city to mesilau is not that far (in european distance) but the it just takes you awhile to reach here. let alone the final part between kundasan and mesilau the altitude is quite a challenge to the driver.  you kind of enjoy the breath taking view as the car slowly climbs higher and higher.

 you finally reached your destination. the cloud already thickening the sky and you know the rain will come soon...

still you took the advantage of dry moment to go around the area, the mountain is not visible and it has cooled down significantly and you like the idea of not having to turn on the air conditioner (not that there's one on premise)

 and discover new things, it never occurs to you that these lily bulbs are eatable. and you follow your sister's friends to collect these bulbs at the slope where lily were plant.  interesting discovery.

 little you know that these ladies can really cook!!  they cooked a storm out in this simple kitchen area and yet thoroughly enjoy themselves

 the stir fry lily bulbs

locally grown rices, trio mix and ready to be cook!

in less than an hour, you have the food served, a couple of dishes, some are cooked on the spot, others were pre-cooked in the city.  you simply enjoyed your dinner to the fullest, for the very first time you don't have to cook to enjoy such a satisfying meal. tummy full!
