"Tongging itself is a real great place to view the whole lake toba and is really near to Sipiso piso waterfall While vhi vhi is a very simple place with great view right facing the great Lake Toba and also tasty food You can go to simalem resort, then to sipiso piso waterfall then head here for a delicious meal Don't judge a restaurant from it's cover! It's famous dish is nila arsik, but all other menu is tasty too We spent Rp 500.000++ for lunch of 9 Totally worth the money But as all the other places near to mountain, the weather changed very fast, don't forget to get yourself a jacket to warm up"

"Great view!! Delicious food and enjoying them in the middle of the lake. Windy at certain moment and rough lake sometimes if you choose outdoor seats. Friendly staffs, reasonable prices, nice food and for the good hygiene, I'd say they are still in the round."
