There's so many kinds of batik in Indonesia, yeah because Indonesia got so many region, and every region has their own batik's pattern, but there's one batik that has been my favorite since the first time I saw it pattern. That's Batik Mega Mendung. Batik Mega Mendung is from Cirebon, and this batik has an unique pattern which you can't find it in other region. Even because of it uniqueness, Indonesian Government registered this batik to UNESCO as one of world heritage. Batik Mega Mendung itself were inspired by chinese tradition, in 1600s, one of famous Islamic figure, Sunan Kali Jaga got married to Queen Ong Tien from China, since then, Chinese culture began to spread in Cirebon. Pattern of Batik Mega Mendung is basically represents sky and cloud, and usually has blue and red as it colors.
