Mudik Trip #3: Gandul




We also went to my mother-in-law's house in Gandul, a small village which is located east of Cinere. Normally, it will only take around 10-15 minutes to reach Gandul from Cinere, however there's a bridge construction which leads to the closure of the Jalan Bukit Cinere road, the main artery road from Cinere to Gandul. Therefore, to reach Gandul, we need to go through south Cinere (near Limo), and the roads are not in good condition, and the journey is taking much longer, around half an-hour's drive.

My mother-in-law held a small dinner event at her house in Gandul, since she would be going to Mecca for her Haj pilgrimage (she's currently in Saudi Arabia at the time of writing). We invited some of our relatives, and the food were marvelous. :) Dendeng balado, one of my favourite Padang dish, was on the menu list (my mother-in-law is a Minang). Some cakes were also being served, and to my surprise, comro (oncom di jero, a traditional Sundanese snack), is included as well.

Aunty Tessa (my wife's sister) bought frog balloons for both Inka and Irza, while the horse-cart toy was bought during our trip to Kelapa Dua, Depok for my mother-in-law's Haj departure.
