There is a warm feeling through the body when entering the long streets of Jalan Slamet Riyadi, afternoon in the city of Solo. The main street in town almost all the important buildings located on this road, local government offices, shopping malls, hotels and important buildings can be found here. Although this was not representative of the Solo, typical atmosphere of cities in Java.

The flurry of city residents with various passing vehicles activities, the air is hot and somewhat humid, but the town does not describe the typical big city residents, the atmosphere is a little slow, the vehicles moving to and fro, but did not seem busy, even the rickshaws can still be found, transport vehicles like this are no longer in Jakarta.

A place in the city that sell the famous cakes, Mandarijn Orion Bread at the Street of Urip Sumoharjo, established since the 1930s, crowded visitors from various cities.

This cake is actually similar to the kind of cakes in another city, sponge cake or layer cake (Kue Lapis). Just look at its physical form, the center is coated pineapple jam, arising out of certain distinctive taste when the tongue starts to lick the inside of the pastry, humm...

Entering the store looks a row of cakes on display at the top, pastries or cookies in a jar and snack cakes and others available. While the Mandarijn Orion cakes consists of Regular Mandarijn Orion, Raisins Mandarijn Orion and Specials Mandarijn Orion. Specials Mandarijn Orion has more butter, more tender than others.
