Cafe at Dago Endah Golf Course, Bandung

Balls Up!


















One of the latest hobby that Aswin picks up over the past few years is playing. Although not routinely (because lets face it, golf is still considered as premium sport in this country), he tries to play it as often as he can.

One of the main gimmicks when playing golf, for Aswin is the ability have nice meal after playing golf. As a pro golf player food blogger eating enthusiasts, he always finds it hard to avoid a good meal after an exercise of driving golf car.

One place in particular where he likes to play golf is in Dago Endah, and one of their main delicacies is their Cikur Fried Rice. It is crunchy, delicious, and quite hearty. Perfect for filling up your energy after doing sport.

Enjoy!

TwoCents, Jalan Cimanuk, Bandung

For a while we are searching for the right time to visit this coffee vendor, but with hectic schedules that we have, along with the crowded people that came to TwoCents makes our visit delayed over time. 

Until one day, one of our cousin, ask to meet Aswin for business development consultation. We propose to meet up here. Their design is very warm and intimate. Perfect for meeting or a session of quiet reading. They also incorporated a unique ordering system specifically found in modern coffee shop, where we pay for the meals and coffee that we ordered prior to sitting. Then we take our order after they finished making it.

We tried their bagels (Aswin's favorite type of bread besides focaccia), and their open sandwich. We also ordered their cold and iced coffee. The overall experience was delightful. One of the many coffee shops vendors that you should visit if you are happened to be around the area.

Enjoy!

Sumeragi, Authentic Japanese Cuisine in Setrasari

We found this place by coincidence when we are looking to grab something to eat for dinner in Setra Sari area. The place itself is designed very Japanese, with all of the ornaments and simplicity that you often found in a Japanese restaurant.

The place itself has their own bar, with several table in the first floor, but for us, we really enjoy having our meal in the second floor. The situation is somewhat more intimate and warm.

The menu that we really enjoyed here is their signature salad.

What? Salad in Japanese restaurant you asked?

Yup. Their salad is one of the main reason why we enjoy this restaurant. The vegetables are fresh, their portion is huugee... And most importantly, their dressing tasted delicious. we really recommended that if you come to this restaurant to give it a try. We also loves their Okonomiyaki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okonomiyaki).
All of the meals here are prepared fresh and usually comes in large portion. Really suitable for you guys who loves to eat large or eating out in large number.

Enjoy!

Baso Bintang Avon, Buah Batu, Bandung

Disclaimer: We love noodle!

With that in mind, we present you: Baso Bintang Avon. For us, we believe that this vendor can be considered as one of the best Yamien vendor in Bandung. The broth is not quite thick, as Akung, but it is certainly not as mild as Sam's.

So, if you are happened to be in the southern area of Bandung, and need a quick snack or lunch or dinner, then this is the place to go.

Enjoy!

Baso Tahu Lina, Sawah Kurung, Bandung, Indonesia

One of the plenty hidden gems in Bandung. This Baso Tahu vendor is well hidden in the southern area of Bandung city. With the taste as great as their counterpart vendors in Bandung, as well as their competitive price, we believe that Baso Tahu Lina will become one of the favorite culinary destination in Bandung.

DeHaPe Foodcourt, Dalem Kaum, Bandung


The Invitation















On April 2015, we were invited to the press conference for the opening of DeHaPe Foodcourt in Dalem Kaum area, Bandung. We were excited to attend this press conference, because as far as we know, there are only handful of restaurant/ foodcourt that are available in the area.

The Press Conference















During the press conference, there are various representatives from several blogs, and also from news and radios. The event went well and lively. Several main interest points that the vendor are promoting include beautiful view and scenery from the foodcourt, variation of unique menus in the area, and cooperation with several communities in Bandung area. In overall, their concept was splendid and unique, as most of the other foodcourt do not try to extend to reach communities in Bandung.

Hainanese Chicken Rice















As for their food, it was tasted good. We particularly loved their Hainanese Chicken Rice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainanese_chicken_rice) menu. And also the experience having lunch or dinner there was quite unique.

So, the last time you are visiting the Alun-Alun area, and you are hungry but have not yet decided to eat, then this foodcourt definitely should be on top of your list.

Enjoy!

Missing in Action!

It is been a while (too long?) since we post in this our beloved blog. Actually, there are several things that has happened while we are away. We have traveled to United Kingdom, Malaysia, and Singapore respectively, while also going to Central Java to visit Semarang and Jogjakarta.

On life, Aswin has (finally!) managed to survive his challenge and fulfills one of his many dreams of becoming a PhD in Science Management. After that, another good news that we are expecting tiny new member of our blogger (boy/ girl? Just wait and hear from us!). Oh! And our beloved contributors are now happily married, congratulations to Djukie and Ruben!

As plenty has happened over the past months (year?), and the "chaos" has set in order, we would like to continue to write in this blog again. Thankfully Ruben and Djukie has covered several posting over the months while we were away, so a big thanks to you guys!

So what are you having for lunch right now?

Enjoy!

Love

George Town Curry Chicken and Dalcha (Contributed Article from Ruben Juliarto)

This posting is contributed by Ruben Juliarto, our beloved friend and regular contributor for Jejak Rasa. Thank you and look forward to hear about your next article contribution bro!

On 21 August 2014, I visited Penang Island aka George Town. The City
impression was very good. The city is clean, many historical buildings
and town squares were well preserved. I enjoyed my one day trip there
and delicious Indian dish in Little Indian square.

During lunch time, I chose to come to Kassim Mustafa restaurant, which
was near Indian market. I ordered chicken curry, butter rice and
dalcha. The taste of Indian taste were very strong (was it Indian
masala?). In my opinion, the spices were stronger than Indian food
which I ate in Bandung's Indian Restaurant. After I asked Kassim
Mustafa waiter, I knew that the dalcha soup main ingredients were
vegetables. Dalcha soup was suitable for vegan diet. The soup was
thick and savory.

According to trip expenses note, I spent 7 MYR for curry chicken,
butter rice, dalcha plus kopi tarik. Kopi tarik was coffee plus milk,
and were poured several times which made bubble.

I do hope to go there once again and try out chinese food in George Town.

Enjoy!

Woontoon Pork Noodle (Contributed Article by Ruben Juliarto)

This posting is contributed by Ruben Juliarto, our beloved friend and regular contributor for Jejak Rasa. Thank you and look forward to hear about your next article contribution bro!

I bought woontoon noddle pork near Ayutthaya train station before I
left Ayutthaya for Nongkhai. The price was 35 Thai Bath or about 1 US
dollar. The noddle was served with woontoon, sliced roasted pork,
vegetable and radish. I thought that 1 US dollar was not too expensive
for one bowl of woontoon noddle becuse I got a lot of woontoon and
roasted pork. Before I eat it, I poured nampla (fish sauce) and
grounded peanuts. Enjoy my dinner before night train ride.

Khoopat or Fried Rice in Thailand (Contributed Article from Ruben Juliarto)

This posting is contributed by Ruben Juliarto, our beloved friend and regular contributor for Jejak Rasa. Thank you and look forward to hear about your next article contribution bro!

On my transit at Dongdok station, Vientiane, I was very hungry so I
went to food stall to order food for lunch. The stall owner offered
khoopat which is fried rice in Thai language.  The price tag is 15k
Laos KIP (almost equal to 35 Thai Bath or 4 Malaysian Ringgit)

For about 1 US dollar, I got plain sup, sunny side fried egg, and
fried rice with shrimps. Sorry you can't see the shrimps on the
picture.

Anyway I also found fish sauce, and didn't know whether the fish sauce
is also called nampla here in Laos.

After I finished my lunch, I prepared myself for 24 hour bus ride
leaving for Hanoi.

Padthai on Hatyai, Thailand (Contributed Article by Ruben Juliarto)

This posting is contributed by Ruben Juliarto, our beloved friend and regular contributor for Jejak Rasa. Thank you and look forward to hear about your next article contribution bro!

My Thai friends brought me to restaurant for dinner. It was on Hatyai,
Thailand, near Malaysian border (Bukit Hitam). Well I let my Thai
friends decide what to order, and they agreed to order "patthai" or
mee goreng in Malay or fried noddle translated to English.

So let see what the restaurant served for three of us who were hungry
and thirsty. (please see attachment)
  • three cups of ice, plus glass bottled mineral water.
  • fresh raw vegetables/ salad which were served with ice on it
  • patthai or fried noddle.
Mee goreng were served with shrimps. For condiment, we could choose
white sugar, salty soybean sauce, grounded peanuts, pepper, and nampla
or fish sauce. I poured 3/4 spoon of fish sauce, and my Thai friend
said that I dropped too many fish sauce. I didn't regret it because
nampla is not too fishy or salty. I could taste the freshness of fish.

I do hope someday I visit Hatyai once more and eat patthai again.
Aloiii (delicious in Thai language)

Katjapiring: The Melting Pot of Flavors and Cultures

A common tradition in our family is having a dinner session together in a restaurant every Saturday/ Sunday night. This is the the opportunity for all family members to chat and have an intimate discussion, with added bonus for us is to try new venues around Bandung.

Today we tried the Katjapiring restaurant. It is not actually a new restaurant, as we have try them in PvJ somewhile ago. But since they reopened a new restaurant in Jalan Ciliwung, we have not have the chance to try them yet. Until now...

The restaurant is conveniently located in Jalan Ciliwung, just near the intersection with Jalan Bengawan. The design is colonial and good looking. Really interesting concept they have here.

We ordered several menu from the restaurant. Dad ordered the Mie Godog Jawan Suwiran, while the rest of us ordered foods that we shared together. Among the item, the most interesting food that we tried is their fried fish nyonya style. Very delicious and highly recommended if you ever attended the restaurant again. Yum!

In this event they sell Mushroom Burger and Mushroom Hotdog. The taste is okay. What interests us is their signature Nature Immune Booster beverage, made from... Guess what! Mushroom.

At first we were not quite sure about the flavor, but after a few sip we grew to like it. Overall it tasted like Lemonade (believe it or not). We really loved it.

You can find their store in this address below.
