Surabaya / East Java / Indonesia
January 2012
Rainy Season / "Musim Hujan"
Exploring Surabaya -- by "ojek" (motorcycle taxi) & "becak" (pedicab). The elaborate, art-deco Hotel Majapahit, a Dutch-era masterpeice and the Sampoerna Museum, celebrating Indonesia's famed clove-cigarette heyday, add color to the grit and texture of Indonesia's raucous & beguiling "Second City" (pop: c 10,000,000)
Ledre
Ledre is kind of snack, typical of Bojonegoro. It formed gapit ( like rolled chips emping) with sweet plantain aroma. The nice one is banana taste. It is special snack from Bojonegoro that made of sugar, flour, and banana. The snack has rolled, so that it looks like a stick. Ledre with banana taste has become the favorite snack of the most visitors. It's feel not complete if visit Bojonegoro without buy some Ledre.

Centella asiatica (Pegaga, Pegagan) (L.) Urb. Araliaceae, also placed in Apiaceae, Hydrocotylaceae. Weed, vegetable and source of asiaticoside. Eaten raw as salad. Plant is one of the chief herbs for treating skin problems, to heal wounds, for revitalizing the nerves and brain cells, hence primarily known as a "brain food" in India. The Malays claim the herb is good for maintaining eternal youth or 'awet muda', so to speak. They knew its beneficial effect long before modern scientific discoveries.
Here's an excerpt. You can Google and find out more:
Asiaticoside is a terpenoid component extracted form Centella asiatica. It has been demonstrated to increase collagen synthesis and therefore anti-wrinkle activity. Skin ageing appears to be principally related to a decrease in the levels of type I collagen, the primary component of the skin dermis. Type I collagen is also known to impart tensile strength to skin. In vitro evaluations have demonstrated the receptorial activity of Asiaticoside on collagen synthesis. Clinical evaluations confirm its anti-wrinkle efficacy.
