What the creator captured
Abroad and Hungry was particularly impressed by the unique Mie Sop at the Pangururan market, which featured a massive cauldron of spiced broth that had been simmering for hours. Max highlighted the vibrant, friendly atmosphere of the Wednesday-only market and was fascinated by a specific style of Martabak he had never seen before. The journey culminated in finding a perfect lakeside accommodation on Samosir Island that offered both air conditioning and stunning views.
