Aside from the aesthetically intriguing colonial design, Lawang Sewu’s tragic past has made this a point of attraction. In 1942 it was used as a prison by Japanese Invaders where several prisoners were executed. In 1945, this building was the focus of the 5 day battle of Semarang, where Indonesia’s Independence fighters were killed fighting against Japanese soldiers. Five employees working there were also killed and a monument has been erected in the yard to commemorate the national heroes.

In 2011 Lawang Sewu was inaugurated by First Lady Ani Yudhoyono and re-opened to public after extensive renovations. Buildings A and B of the complex are open to public for tours and are frequently used fo social and cultural activities and events. A historical and architectural icon of the city of Semarang, Lawang Sewu is not to be missed.

Its historical background and dutch style architecture has stolen everyone’s attention. Its long history started in 1526 when Fatahillah was sent to attack the Pajajaran Empire’s Sunda Kelapa Harbor, and turn it into Jayakarta. But it didn't stop there, the VOC destroyed Jayakarta under the order of Jan Pieterszoon Coen and turned it into a new city called Batavia a year later. Thus the reason behind its dutch style architecture. Kota Tua is also loaded with museums – completing the fact that it's a silent witness for history. It holds all sorts of museums throughout the spectrum: Museum Fatahillah, Museum Seni Rupa dan Keramik, Museum Bank Mandiri, Museum Wayang, and Museum Bank Indonesia which all hold their own history. All sorts of activities can be done in Kota Tua, starting from ceramic making, seeing all the currencies and moneys from time to time, watching a wayang show and seeing different types of wayangs, get a glimpse of Jakarta’s past, rent a bicycle and tour around Kota Tua, and so much more. So much excitement awaits you in Kota Tua, it’s most definitely a great place to spend time in! ]]> 2022-08-24 09:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kartikarachma/l41yxm55s5nbbk88/wish/2269909179 B) Culinary in Kota Tua 0521006084 https://padlet.com/kartikarachma/l41yxm55s5nbbk88/wish/2269909237 In terms of culinary, Kota Tua's cuisine sure is no less interesting than its other aspects. One of the signature foods of theirs is Kerak Telor, which is also native to the Betawi people who originated in the area. The Kerak Telor itself tastes savory with a touch of sweetness with the texture of glutinous rice. The unique taste of Kerak Telor comes from white glutinous rice, chicken/duck egg, salted dried up shrimp which is roasted and mixed with fried onions, softened coconut that is roasted, chili pepper, aromatic ginger, ginger, pepper, salt, and sugar. Not only does it have a unique taste, it also is made with very unique steps and techniques. The chicken/duck egg would be cracked into a pan without any oils, Then when it's half-cooked, the pan will be flipped upside down facing the burning charcoal in the Anglo. When the surface of the egg is burnt, The Kerak Telor will be sprinkled by the seasonings and toppings then it will be ready to serve. What's interesting, though, is that the Kerak Telor was made accidentally when the Betawi people were trying to get as much use as possible from coconuts. In the 1970s the Betawi people started selling them commercially, and people liked them! It's easy for you to get a taste of this appetizing Kerak Telor, they can be found everywhere in Kota Tua.

First, you can either go to Bundaran Hotel Indonesia with an MRT from Stasiun Blok M BCA, then take a busway to Kota Tua from there on. Second, you can go to Busway from Halte Blok M straight to Halte Busway Kota. Third, you can take a train from Tanah Abang and head for Stasiun Jakarta Kota. The first choice will cost you Rp. 8.000,00 for the MRT and Rp. 3,500,00 for the busway, the second will cost you Rp. 3,500,00, and the third will also cost you Rp. 3,500,00. The first choice is recommended because you can also take a look around the Blok M Plaza mall, experience the MRT, and get a hotel once you arrive in Bundaran HI, then continue your journey to Kota Tua. The second choice would be a great choice when you don’t want to spend too much money because it’s cheap. The third choice is recommended for people who are familiar with the Tanah Abang Station, it’s just as cheap as the second choice but it is likely for you to get lost because the Tanah Abang Station is a big and confusing station.]]> 2022-08-24 09:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kartikarachma/l41yxm55s5nbbk88/wish/2269909471 B) Culinary 0521005917 https://padlet.com/kartikarachma/l41yxm55s5nbbk88/wish/2273741903 Borobudur has loads of delicious dishes you should try such as Mangut Beong.
