Semarang - For lunch, I made my way to Spiegel Bar & Bistro, located in the charming Old Town. Housed in a beautifully restored colonial building dating back to 1895, Spiegel was once a premium department store known as NV Winkel Maatschappij H. Spiegel. Today, it has been transformed into a stylish bistro while preserving its high ceilings and rustic European charm.
I ordered their fried rice with bone marrow which is a rich and indulgent dish that perfectly blended local flavours with a modern twist.

After my lunch, I visited Museum Kota Lama; it was a fascinating journey through time, offering a deeper understanding of how Semarang evolved into the city it is today.
Located in the heart of the Old Town, the museum stands on the site of what was once the Bubakan fountain roundabout, now transformed into a modern heritage space. Inside, the museum showcases the history of Semarang dating back to 1547, highlighting its growth from a trading port into a vibrant colonial city.

What makes this museum particularly unique is its use of immersive technology. Through interactive displays and 3D visualisations, visitors are not just observing history; they are experiencing it. It feels as if you are transported into different eras, witnessing the development of the city firsthand.
