Mendapat kesempatan untuk mengunjungi kota Pekanbaru, seperti yang biasa gw lakuin yaitu mencari tempat makanan yang enak. Sesuai dengan bekal informasi di tangan .. ini hasil perburuan di Pekanbaru.
Ikan Baung..
Ikan Baung adalah jenis ikan tawar yang di Riau sudah banyak diternakkan. Daging ikannya lembut sekali dan sangat pas dipadu dengan bumbu asam pedas yang sangat populer di Pekanbaru. Salah satu restoran yang sangat terkenal dengan masakan ikan baung adalah Pondok Asam Pedas Baung yang terletak di depan Rumah Sakit Awal Bros.
Semua model penyajian rumah makan di Pekanbaru, mirip dengan rumah makan padang. Meskipun kita pesannya ikan baung, pasti piring2 lain yang berisi berbagai menu ikut disajikan.

Salah satu jenis masakan ikan yang juga terkenal di Pekanbaru yaitu masakan Ikan Patin, yang populer di adalah Rumah Makan Pondok patin HM. Yunus yang berada di daerah simpang tiga. Masakan ikan patin disini sangat digemari oleh Pak SBY yang baru saja kemarin secara tidak resmi terpilih kembali menjadi Presiden RI.

Durian Pekanbaru
Untuk penggemar berat durian, kalau ke Pekanbaru jangan lupa mencicipi durian di Pekanbaru, durian ini banyak datang dari daerah Medan, durian ini tidak terlalu besar tetapi rasanya mengalahkan rasa durian montong. Uniknya kalau makan di tempat bisa makan dengan pulut atau ketan putih dengan lumuran kelapa parut, yang rasanya wah.. bener bener bisa bikin lupa daratan deh ..

Pondok Ikan Bakar Bandar Hidup 9
Nggak begitu tau dimana tempat makan ikan yang enak, sempat melewatin tempat di sepanjang daerah menuju Kulim. Ada penjual Ikan bakar namanya Pondok Ikan Bakar Bandar Hidup 9, pas makan siang rame nya minta ampun. Ikan disini cuma satu jenis, nggak tau juga jenis ikan apa, tapi bumbunya ya ampun, enak banget .. jangan lupa juga cobain cabai hijaunya .. boleh taruhan deh, kalau sudah kena cabai hijaunya , kalau nggak nambah hebat deh ..

Mesjid Ar-Rahman
Mesjid ini termasuk baru, terletak di Jl. Sudirman 482 Pekanbaru dan diresmikan oleh Gubernur Riau HM. Rusli Zainal, SE, MP pada tanggal 19 Juni 2009, sempat mampir untuk menenangkan hati dan berfoto2.

Satu hal lagi yang cukup menarik di Pekanbaru, cobalah naik angkot di Pekanbaru, terutama malam, khas nya adalah mereka selalu putar musik keras keras, jadi kalau malam kadang ada yang pasang lampu2 seperti disco jadi serasa di kelab malam deh , asyik juga denger musik2 nya ..

Di Pekanbaru juga ada busway seperti di Jakarta namanya Trans Metro Pekanbaru, cuma disini jalan trans metro nggak khusus seperti di Jakarta, jadi bersamaan dengan kendaran2 lainnya. Jadi kadang di tempat tertentu yang tidak bisa di bangun halte bis nya hanya seperti tangga aja seperti yang terlihat di Terminal ujung di Pandau yang merupakan daerah perumahan.
Ini ada informasi mengenai jalur trayek dan peta trayek Trans Metro Pekanbaru, cuma ketika gw berkunjung ke Pekanbaru, baru trayek 1 dan 2 saja yang beroperasi, 3, 4 dan 5 belum beroperasi, mungkin sedang dalam perencanaan.

Atjeh or Aceh or more newer name NAD (Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam) was very conflict field. I was visited Banda Aceh capital city of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam at October 13th 2009 2 days after Hasan Tiro had first time visit as a founder of GAM (Aceh Freedom Movement) after 30 years to Banda Aceh. Finally after 4 hours flight from Jakarta including transit at Medan, arrived at Iskandar Muda Airport. The Airport is still under development to become International Airport. Ground temperaturewas was very hot and it’s hotter than Jakarta maybe because Banda Aceh is coastal beach city. If you want to go to central of city there is no official taxi here and it’s costs about 70.000 rupiah. Many of Aceh people is looked unfriendly. But try to talk to them you will feel that most of them are very friendly, so don’t judge the book by it’s cover like tukul said (You know tukul ? tukul is Indonesian famous comedian).

Mie Razali is the one of famous Aceh noodles in Banda Aceh. Located at Panglima Polim Street near Sulthan Hotel. One of famous food I had not time to try is catch chicken (ayam tangkap).
