Enjoying Food in Pangkal Pinang - Bangka

I remember two years ago, while waiting for my flight to Pangkal Pinang at Soekarno Hatta airport, I met a friend with his family waiting for the same flight. He told me that he was going to have a holiday with his kiddos in Pangkal Pinang. That time, I was surprised that my friend choose Pangkal Pinang as his holiday destination.

On my second visit in 2013, I realised that Pangkal Pinang has lots to offer that this city is now on my bucketlist to travel with my family someday. Beside the beautiful beach, the city offers great food to enjoy!
