Fragrance in Tooth X And Fingers Too: Berastagi Potato

Berastagi (meaning "rice store")

is a town and subdistrict of Karo Regency

to the coastal city of Medan.

Berastagi

 

The village rose to significance when

Dutch settlers in Sumatra

opened a boarding school there in the 1920s.

 

The main economic activities in Berastagi,

centre on the colourful fruit

and vegetable market

and on tourism.

Berastagi is famous for its passion fruit.

 

The main attractions of the town are

the two active volcanoes;

Gunung Sibayak, with its hot springs, and

Gunung Sinabung.

The town is also a stop

on the way to Lake Toba.

Brastagi Mini Washed Potatoes

 

how small it is

potato vs sweet potato vs mini potato

 

it’s not too bad

all the poatoes taste nice to me

and the process of peeling and eating

painstakingly

the potato all penetrated through

my finger nails

yellowish baby potato

 

yet

just can’t help

popping in

one after another
