    Spiki’s Java Adventure 2014 (Day 4) – Popcon Day 2

    I was super excited for my second day at Popcon.  I had really bad jet lag but my body was full of energy to meet everyone!

    Just showing off my Lucky Cat Spiki tee.

    My 20-inch ninja Spiki dunny is in Jakarta with a nice family.

    The Spiki crew, all hand-painted.

    Time to finish my 20-inch mega munny!

    I planned to make it cute with a retro vibe.

    The hair dryer  helped the progress move along faster.

    I called on Dewi for a little bit of help.

    For lunch, we found a food spot just outside of the venue.  Josh was worried I wouldn’t be able to handle the food but I tried as much as I could.  It’s not every day you’re in Indonesia.

    The chicken tasted very good.

    Now, back to work.

    Hoki came to hang out with me for a few minutes.

    Thank you to Grace for inviting me!

    Meeting new friends.

    Spiki’s new friends.

    The work is  halfway done.

    One of the most nerve-racking moments happened when I met Mari Pangestu, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy.

    Time to call it a day and rest to save some energy for tomorrow.

  • Spiki’s Java Adventure 2014 – Martabak Pecenongan 43

    Spiki’s Java Adventure 2014 – Martabak Pecenongan 43

    After Popcon one night, Joshua wanted to take me to have some local street food.  I’ve been told that The Martabak is the King of Indonesian Street Food.  They offer sweet or savory — two types dessert.  I was able to witness how it’s made.

    Everything is hand-made.  It looks like cake but the process doesn’t include any baking.

    The ingredients they use include cheese, butter, and more.  When they flip it halfway, you can see the cake start to form.
