Yesterday, me with my friend do jogging in afternoon, we do that twice in a week, for healty life, although sometimes we are not really jogging, but we just walk with a relaxed and enjoy the scenery, LOL, in my town, Balikpapan, there is a place, where the citizens of the city often exercise, jogging there, that place name is "Lapangan Merdeka". in English mean "Merdeka Field"

Beside for sports venues, this place is also a concert stage during major events, or other events, in there, are food vendors, selling a variety of street foods, at reasonable prices, with delicious flavours, and the interesting thing is, there is housing in around Lapangan Merdeka.

After jogging, I started walking around to buy some street food, along the way, lots of people selling food, drinks, traditional snacks, also modern, very varied, of course with the very cheap price,  for those of you who like snacking, maybe this place is heaven because with a cheap price you can get a lot of food, good drinks, and this is street food & drink, which I bought.

Break the eggs into the bowl, add salt and pepper, shake until foamy, Add approximately 50 ml of water to the egg mixture, shake again until blended, Heat the cooking oil in the frying pan to a bit high,  to fry this egg roll requires a lot of oil. wait for the oil to heat approximately 3-5 minutes. then reduce the heat to medium (not too small), Pour the egg into the center of the oil. then quickly grab a skewer and roll the egg with skewer, Repeat the step until the skewer and eggs run out.Serve with a sweet spicy sauce. 

After eating snacks and drinks, me and my friend we talk until the sky was dark, showing the night, we wanted to eat again, but this time we did not want snacks, so we decided to eat some noodles, not far from here, 300meter walk, we find the noodle seller, this noodle has a very unique name, its name is "grenade noodle", because its taste is spicy, so the seller gives the name of grenade noodle.

I ordered "meat grenade noodles", served on a box, this noodle looked delicious with cuts of meat, sausage and chicken crackers, when the first bite, I was impressed, the noodle was very tasty, the spicy flavor mixed with the meat, and the crackers make this noodle has a characteristic taste, it does not feel spicy for me, because of its pleasure, I choose spicy level 4 of 5, its portion is not too much, but fit in the stomach, plus its drink, thai tea, by the way , thai tea is one of my favorite drinks, I don't really know how to make this noodle, next time i wll share how to make this noodle, and for the price very cheap, for one  grenade noodles you just have to pay 1,2$, and thai tea only 1$, Is this cheap price for you? tell me in the comment section.

After I count the expenditure for the snack, drink, and food, I only spend 4.2 $, for egg rolls fried, one coconut ice, a meat grenade noodle, and one that tea, you can be satisfied and happy right?  do you want to eat one of the snacks/food that I share?, just tell me in the comment section.
