All Around Europe : Döner

By
My all-time-favorite food in Europe : Döner !

The appetizing Doner Teller mit Pommes!
It feels funny to say that Doner is my favorite food while in Europe. Some of you might thing "WHAT?" or "HOW COME?" or maybe "She has a weird taste."

Well, you are right. There are LOTS of delicious foods here - so many cheese, bacons, sausages - but despite all of those MANY delicious European foods - I choose Döner!

Why I choose Döner? There are certain reasons for that.

1. It's cheap! 
The most common reason. Hahaha. It is the cheapest food - in the whole Europe. (Maybe to be exact, in all European countries I've visited) Usually, by spending 2 - 5 Euros you have already got a tasty Döner  Even, in Vienna, I found the cheapest Döner ever - it's only 1.50 Euros and tasted GREAT!

2. It is BIG.
Well, for me - as an Asian. One portion of Döner is equal to 2 normal meals. In the early week, I couldn't eat the whole Döner at once. I have to eat it at least twice - because it's too big. OF COURSE, it changed and as the times goes by 1 Döner is not enough for me. Hahaha.

One of the best Doner shop in Tubingen, Germany

 3. Doner can be found everywhere! 
You could find Döner in train station, narrow street, city center, shopping mall, and other places! Döner is my first choice whenever I travel - most of the time.

 4. Doner can be eaten while walking. 
The best option for travelers. I often buy doner whenever I change train and only have like 10 - 15 minutes left until my train departs. Döner Durum is the best choice to be eaten while travelling!

5. The unchanging taste. 
This is important - especially for you who do not like to eat weird or doubtful food. It often has similar taste - slightly salty, sweet or else. But, for me - it tastes similar no matter which country you are.






Since you have known my reason to choose Döner over others European foods - now I would like to  introduce you to the Döner family!

Here are the DONERS!


  • Doner Tasche 

The most common doner - and also the first doner I have ever tried in Europe. The sliced meat/chicken/lamb is placed on the pita bread with the salad, sauce and mayo. You could add french fries to the Doner in exchange with salad. The normal price is between 2 - 5 Euros.

  • Doner Teller 

This is the type of doner that is served on plate (German: teller). It consists of sliced meat/chicken/lamb with french fries and salad, sauce and mayo. For one portion of doner teller, you have to pay between 5 - 10 Euros.

  • Doner Durum / Yufka 

This is the Doner that you usually find in Indonesia - and my favorite type of Doner. It consists of sliced meat/chicken/lamb and also salad, sauce and mayo and WRAPPED with the thin bread. Since it's wrapped like a cylinder, it is the easiest doner that can be eaten while walking. The price of Durum is between 2 - 5 Euros. Usually, it is 50 cents more expensive than Doner Tasche.

  • Pom-Doner

Or you could say as pommes-doner. Pommes means french fries in German. So, you could tell that pom-doner is the doner that is served with french fries. So, it consists of sliced meat/chicken/lamb with salad, sauce and mayo and french fries. All of these will be put inside a box. For the price is between 2 - 5 Euros.







They are the DONERS I have met in Europe. Send my greetings when you meet the DONERS in Europe.
Say to them "PLEASE COME TO INDONESIA!"

Because I really AM craving for these doners right now!! 

 (Again, it is a HUGE mistake to write about food at night. But, I have never learned. ;p )

NB: Do NOT ever compared the taste of Doner in Europe with Indonesia. It has HUGE difference in taste!

All Around Europe : Local Airports Part I

By
This post is dedicated to all European budget airlines lovers! Airport - is the important place. This is where our travelling starts and ended. If we could not know where is the airport and how to get to the airport, than our travelling will be a mess. Since I travel a lot with European budget airline,  I have to invest more time to look for the information regarding the airports used in budget airports, especially the location and how to get there (most important!).  Most of the budget airline (esp. Ryan Air) are using local airports which is located far (away) from the city. Beside the location, these local airports also do not have varieties of public transportation access. Therefore, I decided to compile the information regarding these-out-of-nowhere local airports in Europe. I hope it could help all European budget airlines lovers! :) After did some listing, I realised there will be too much information here - that might make you explode. Therefore, I decided to d...

Hostel Review : Dioskouros Athena

By
Ini nih, hostel yang pengen banget saya review sejak bertahun-tahun yang lalu. Tapi, apa daya... keinginan hanyalah keinginan dan AKHIRNYA, setelah 4 tahun berlalu akhirnya saya bisa menulis review hostel ini. Dioskouros Hostel  Pittakou 6, Athena 10558, Yunani Penampakan depan Hostel Dioskouros. Photo credit to the owner. Saya menemukan hostel ini dibahas di beberapa blog travelers lainnya ketika mereka berkunjung ke Athena. Dengan dibekali review yang cukup positif dan hasil penemuan saya di google yang menyebutkan 1)  lokasi yang cukup dekat dengan pusat kota, 2) terletak di wilayah yang bisa dibilang aman untuk turis asing dan 3) harganya sesuai dengan budget kantong, akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk book hostel ini selama kunjungan saya ke Athena. Pas hari-H, ternyata kualitas hostel ini sesuai dengan ekspetasi dan review positif yang ditulis para blogger. Tempatnya tidak jauh dengan pusat kota Syntagma dan Plaka (5 menit jalan kaki) dan dekat dengan stas...

Traveler's Notes : Souvenirs, any ideas?

By
Sebagai orang Indonesia, sudah lumrah hukumnya memberikan oleh-oleh untuk kerabat setelah pergi liburan panjang. Apalagi kalau kita berlibur hingga ke luar negeri - wah, wah, pasti banyak kerabat yang akan menagih oleh-oleh sepulangnya kalian ke tanah air. Untuk kalian yang bingung mau beli oleh-oleh unik apa, semoga list berikut dapat memberikan kalian pencerahan: 1. Puzzle Di beberapa tempat, mereka menjual puzzle bergambarkan landmark kota / negaranya untuk dibawa pulang oleh para turis. Sebagai pecinta puzzle, saya senang sekali ketika menemukan puzzle berlatarkan Hallstatt ketika saya berkunjung ke Hallstatt. Tidak kalah dari Hallstatt, saya juga membeli puzzle Neuschwanstein (the one I treasured the most!) dengan ukuran 1 meter ketika saya berkunjung ke kastil dongeng itu.  Mau coba beli untuk oleh-oleh? Puzzle Neuschwanstein di paling belakang (it's 1000 pieces!) 2. Secret Box Hungary Yang satu ini, cukup tricky. Secret Box ini saya temukan ketika sedang berja...
