A day trip from Munich to Füssen with regional train. It was a roughly 10 minutes bus drive from Füssen station to get the bus station near by this lake (Forggensee). But then it took us more than an hour to walk back by the feet from this lake back to Füssen station. Let's say we walked a lot yesterday!

By the way the view was amazing! You could even see the Neuschwanstein castle from there :)

Some late post from 2024. Since I had the knee injury in early spring last year, I started exercising slowly to maintain my flexibility. It's far away from perfect but I am glad it is improving each time 🤸🏽‍♀️😊✨

Do you know that you can make your own tortilla wraps at home with just a few simple basic ingredients?
Oat and water. That's it!

I tried making the basic one at home (slide 1) and I was experimenting with the mix of fresh spinach too! (slide 2) Both variations were super tasty and healthy! It's great for a quick meal prep to go!

Sun and Winter is a perfect combination! ✨☀️
As long as the sun is shining and spreading its warmth, I would not mind spending the winter in Munich and not traveling somewhere else to escape the winter ❄️ 😊

My warmest greetings to you 🤗

Foodies

Have you ever thought that you can get a cookie out of spinach?! I googled about it today and I found some easy and tasty recipes to make healthy snacks with fresh spinach.

Try this! It's quite simple to make at home. Here is the recipe that I used in this video: https://foodplaygo.com/2021/03/01/spinach-oat-cookies/

I add on some dried plums on the mixture to add the sweet. Of course, you can make it to your taste of preference by adding dried fruits or nuts or anything you like 😊

Have a great fun baking 🍪👩🏾‍🍳😊

Last night I didn't sleep well so today I decided to skip classes. Did some house chores, exercise, and made three meals:
Arugula Salad as an appetizer
Carrots Quiche as the main dish
Avocado Tarts as a dessert

I fully believe I can take good care of my future partner ✨ what do you think?

Recently I found out that there is an Indonesian restaurant just about 38 km away from Munich. So I decided to check it out the next day.

Guess what??! I was surprised with the taste! Especially the main dishes. They were close to authentic! My fav of all was the Sambal. I had to ask for a refill because it was darn good and so addictive!!! 🤤🥺

As an Indonesian, I can highly recommend you try this restaurant when you are around Munich!

The service wrapped everything smoothly. They were attentive and very helpful in giving any advice on the menus (in case it was your first time of visit). Even the owner was helping to serve the food and take some orders. He took time to chat with the guests too! Felt very welcome in this restaurant.

Here is the list of the food that I ordered as shown in the pictures plus my honest ratings on a scale of 1 to 10:

Starter
Dimsum Chicken & Shrimp — 8
Sate Lilit — 8 (my Indonesian tongue can hold more spiciness and flavorful taste but with all my respect it's understandable to fit it in with the demand from the guests which is the majority of Caucasians)

Main Dish
Ikan Pepes — 9
Ayam Panggang — 8,5 (caucasian at least German, likes to have some sauce rather than having it dry as the original. It's tasty just quite new for me with this modification of having a sauce)

Dessert
Coconut Espuma — 10
Two Bananas & Homemade Pandan Ice — 10

Restaurant: Hot Chilli I'm Steinbacher
Location: Bahnhofstraße 2, Wörthsee, Germany

no profit was offered to me on sharing and recommending this place. I solely doing this because I want to share with you a part of my culture without you having to fly to Indonesia :)

Rainy Saturday is better to spend in the kitchen trying some new recipes 👩‍🍳For me, it's kind of a therapy after work today.

I am a foodie and I like to snack. So so so so much!!! I hate it when I feel hangry 🤬😫!
So I needed to have something nutritious to go with me. This Oat Jam Bar and Oat Wrap are easy to make and they can make your tummy happy!

Just give it a try in your kitchen and let me know what you think 😊

So… there is a fun story today. Where I spontaneously decided to get myself one Bavarian clothing (Trachten: for men || Dirndl: for women) because I got invited to a friend’s belated birthday celebration in Wiesn Oktoberfest tomorrow.

I’ve been holding on for so long and I thought to myself today:
“well, it has been 10 years and I’m actually a German by law now. Perhaps it's a good chance to get a Dirndl to be well integrated into society and use the occasion to experience the full vibe of it.”

After some classes this afternoon, I went shopping. It was challenging because of my petit body size. Then my preference to find a timeless piece of Dirndl made it more difficult to get one! Visited two shops and ended up overwhelmed in the fitting room, tried as many options as possible that were available 😫🤯 Ugh. Shopping stress because I needed it for tomorrow! I blindly decided on the Velvet in style blue and the suitable blouse to wear undern3ath it, not knowing the price tag. I was robb!ng myself 😭😫 It's an investment, I said to myself. Just to get the sense of spending a lot for it!

Another drama at home
After unpacking I just realized that the belt skirt part (Schürze), is missing 😕 So I have to go to the shop again tomorrow to ask about it. The Dirndl is supposed to come with the Schürze together as well!

Conclusion
I’m glad I found a proper Dirndl that m3ets my preferences. However, I still needed to bring it to the tailor to fit it on the shoulders (it's somehow still loose even though it is the smallest size-32).
Hopefully, it lasts long and never goes out of style! And I’m so excited about going to Wiesn tomorrow with the proper clothing! 🍻🍺🎡🥨👗💃

What’s your opinion on my choice? ☺️ I‘ll be happy to hear your feedback about it
