Indonesia - Medan
Mention Sumatra to someone far afield, and they will think of jungles, wild tigers and colonial history. For Asian travellers, Medan is more synonymous with serene Lake Toba and with kuay lapis, the delicious layer cake that is exported from here. Whether or not you crave this sweet treat, Medan offers you a memorable visit to a timeless spot.

Fast Facts
 

In kuay lapis, each layer is distinctly tasty. What is consistent is how frequent visitors crave this treat. Other Medanese food to try includes Makanan Padang, rice with an assortment of meat and vegetable dishes. Try Kakatua Cafe for western dishes. Durian lovers flock to Medan in August and September, when the king of fruits is in season. Shop for thick cotton hand-woven cloth for sarongs, headdresses and stoles. Find wood carved panels, wall decorations and statues from Samosir and Nias, mainly of a primitive style.
