Tangerang Heritage Trail

Dalam rangka menyambut cap go meh, Komunitas Historia Indonesia (KHI) ngadain acara Tangerang Heritage Trail tanggal 27 Feb 2010. Acara nya yah jalan2 ngiderin klenteng dan pecinan di Tangerang.
Acara dimulai dari pelataran museum Fatahillah. Ada VJ Mike disana yg disebut2 sebagai anggota KHI. Anggota paan, dia cuma setor muka pas diawal, setelah nya mana nongol lagi. Mana mu lah dia panas2an di angkot keliling2 Tangerang. Gaya doank sok pecinta sejarah.



Kita mulai trailnya dg naik kereta Benteng express dari stasiun kota. Keretanya bagus dan AC. Kalo ga, gw juga deg2an kali2 aja ntar di tengah jalan ada kambing yg ikutan. Di rombongn kita, ada yg mirip Rafi Ahamad hehehehe....Yoto sempet kecele, pas masih di Fatahillah, Yoto bilang " eh ada Rafi Ahamad". Taunya pas udah di kereta, Rafi Ahamad nya udah tua amat yah qeqeqeqeqe......



Sampe di stasiun Tangerang, kita udah ditunggu sama pasukan angkot. Tangerang panas banget bo', ketek langsung berkuah pas nyampe di pangkalan angkot.



Dengan naik angkot, kita diajak ngider2 aneka klenteng di Tangerang. Diantara klenteng get away, terselip satu Pura yg letaknya bersebelahan dengan klenteng tersebut. Puanasss banget jeung...amit2 deh....tp gw seneng bgt secara laki gw jg ikutan, biasanya doi paling males kalo disuruh ikutan yg berbau2 heritage hehehehe....


Puas dengan plesiran seputar klenteng, kita nyamper ke dam 10 di tepian sungai Cisadane, sambil ngintip2 dikit ke dalam rumah salah satu penduduk di Kampung Sewan. Asli, serem rumahnya, atapnya udah bolong2, tp pilarnya masih berdiri kokoh kayak pilarnya orang India.

Jam 3 lewat byk kita jalan ke stasiun KA Tangerang, mo balik lagi ke Jakarta nih ceritanya dg kereta yg jam 4. Ternyata keretanya baru ada jam5. Gw kira keretanya yg ngaret, ternyata emang panitianya yg ga tau kalo keretanya tiap 2 jam. Dodol...dodol...jadilah kita bengong2 di stasiun nunggu sampe jam 5.

Kereta datang 5 menit sebelum jam 5, setelah pasang posisi, gw langsung pules. Jam 6 udah nyampe Stasiun Jakarta kota lagi.

Spageddies



An Italian kitchen, located in one of Jakarta famous mall -Senayan City-. It provides some cubicles which accommodate 3-4 persons and some square common tables. Interior is mostly in green, white and red colours, kind of Italian flag. Tomato sauce cans, liquor and another retro style cans are placed as part of decoration so the customers are able to see those things.

Spageddies offers some big size meals. BIG in literally. We were damn full when leaving the resto. We have lasagna, spaghetti and chicken grilled as our main meals. Another dishes are soup of the day -salmon cream yummy soup, escargot and prima combo which contains soft shell crabs, calamari and mozzarella samosa.






























Price is a bit high here, as we know, Italian food serves cheese and meat a lot. The parmesan is the real one, I mean not kind of squeeze cheddar like pizza hut has. A big plate of Lasagna costs u IDR 60K. And a half dozen escargot cost you also IDR 60K. You are entitled to refill a glass of ice tea with IDR 18K.










Service is quite good although one of us needed to call several times asking for refilled ice tea. In the end of our meal time, we saw Dewi Gita, her husband Arman Maulana and their daughter sat at the square table near the exit.

With Mega visa credit card, we obtained 20% discount. Total after discount is IDR 394K. Not bad. Here is the summary :

Food : 5 from 5, perfect parmesan
Price : 4 from 5
Service : 4 from 5
Ambiance : 3 from 5, a bit noisy
Interior : 5 from 5
