Bangi Kopitiam Braga CityWalk, Bandung

We visit this place by accident, as we are "stranded" in Braga CityWalk, waiting to pickup our parents from the hospital. As the place has been heavily renovated, we find plenty of new vendors in the mall. One of them is this: Bangi Kopitam.

Located conveniently in front of the mall, Bangi Kopitiam boasting various snacks and foods from Malaysia. Their signature item in the menu? Toasted Bun with two different Kaya topping and their coffee. In overall their food tasted great, especially with the discount that they are serving right now :).

Hopefully the discount are still available when we visit them again soon.

Enjoy!

Gado-Gado Batununggal

The first time we found this restaurant is by coincident. Aswin wanted to have a gado-gado, and currently I have to visit Batununggal to post a package. After circling around in the area, I finally found one shophouse that sells gado-gado.

The vendor sells gado-gado, rujak cuka, noodle, and variation of Chinese foods. The gado-gado that they are selling is quite delicious, with lighter peanut sauce compared with the other vendors that we used to have. With the price of Rp 18.000 (around US$ 1,5) with lontong, it is quite a bargain and enough to fuel you through the day.

Enjoy!

Our (Culinary) Trip with Yogalates Community to Floating Market, Lembang

Situ Umar in Lembang has been transformed into tourism destination called Lembang Floating Market. It has been quite popular nowadays, therefore in the weekend this place always packed with tourists.The location itself used to be a fishing area for the locals and some said that it was quite dirty and not so delightful. Situ Umar was not popular either.

It was a long weekend with two holidays in between, so on Thursday our yoga class decided to have a trip to Lembang Floating Market. Since it was a holiday, we took a detour through Cihanjuang area and stopped for a moment at Tahu Susu Cihanjuang. We were quite right because the traffic was awesome and we arrived at already hectic Floating Market.

Floating Market located behind the Grand Hotel Lembang and once you entered the place, you saw a little lake surrounding with beautiful landscapes and there were saung and seating areas around the lake. We had to pay Rp. 10.000,- (+ US$1) for a ticket, but it also included with the welcoming drink. Our friend, Mala, already arrived early, so she booked a saung for us. After that we sat, enjoyed the view, and saw people passed by. We decided to have ala carte snacks, it consisted of spiraled crispy fried potatoes, grilled sausages, batagor, satay, combro, and tutut. We had to exchange our money with coins that valued Rp. 5000,- and Rp. 10.000,- each. The interesting things the vendor stalls were a boat, so it was mimicking the floating market in Thailand or Kalimantan.

The area itself were tourism spot for family, it had a full package for every member of the family. On one side there's rabbit park for children and you can sail a boat in the lake. I just like sitting down in our saung, have the snacks, and saw people passing by in front of us. Well, it was scorching there, the sun shined so brightly.
Enjoy!

Batagor Vendor in front of ITB, Bandung

Batagor is one comfort food that we really liked. It has the crunchy texture you will find in similar comfort food such as Nacho, French Fries and Pop Corn, with the chewiness fillings of a Marshmallow. 

So, every time we are feeling down (usually after meeting my supervisor in my campus), we usually goes to and eat Batagor. With the average price of around Rp 10.000 (US$ 1) per portion, it is a snack that you cannot miss.

Enjoy!

Baso Tahu Tulen Situ Indah, Bandung

One of the alternative for Baso Tahu lover in Bandung. They are a tad bit expensive compared with the average Baso Tahu vendor around Bandung, but it is still recommended, especially for tourists who come to Bandung.

I found their vendor in Jalan Buah Batu, besides the Griya Supermarket, but I am guessing they have several other outlets all around Bandung.

Bakpia Djava from Yogyakarta

Dja? or DjaV? Djava?

Don't let the name confuse you. All we know is that they tasted wonderful!
Alia as one of the keen consumer of Bakpia already gives her thumbs up. So I guess it is quite recommended.

Too bad they sell them in Yogyakarta, which is two provinces away from our city. Perhaps we might get the chance to visit the city soon. Or perhaps someone is kind enough to deliver them again to us soon? :)

We can only hope...

Es Doger....Alhamdulillah!

What I love from Bandung and the surrounding area is you can find almost any type of food and sometimes you found an interesting one.

That day I went to Griya Yogya department Store with my mom in Cibabat, Cimahi and I saw a tent in the corner of their parking lot that sold the variety of local snacks such as awug, es doger, es goyobod, and so on. Suddenly it reminded me of es doger in BSD which I've been missed a lot. So, why not bought one?

Es doger is one of traditional ice cream that is made from coconut milk and served with toppings like black sticky rice, peuyeum, crushed coconut, etc.
Enjoy!

Hanging out at Kue Balok Kang Didin

This street vendor had been raved a lot and once a local newspaper published an article about this vendor. For your information, kue balok is a traditional snack from West Java area, it is made from flour and have a similar taste like pukis, waffle, or pancake. The difference is how they cooked, while the other are more modern, this one using specific equipment with brisket.

That day I had to pick up Aswin from the airport and since there still so much time until the airplane is landed, I decided to take a look this kue balok stall on jalan Abdurahman Saleh. The place wasn't hard to find because I could see motorcycles line up for on street parking and many people lounging around near the stall.

I opted for take away. I couldn't imagine myself hanging out with the youngster here. Well, I kind of tempted since the weather was cold and one or two drinks of wedang would warmed up my body. So, I just order 10 pieces of kue balok in variety of flavor, such as original, chocolate, and blueberry. The original one cost Rp. 1500,- and the one with flavoring cost Rp. 2000,-. I waited around 10-15 minutes for the kue balok.

Although some people said that it taste ordinary, but I think this one is quite different. It has more soft texture like pukis and after all it is good! So, I munched them while waiting Aswin in the airport.

Enjoy!

Bali (Culinary) Trip in March 2014: Kura-Kura Bus

For those of you who does not like the idea of taking a bus ride without Air Conditioner and weary with the old bus of Perama Tour, you can choose to take the newly launched Kura-Kura Bus. This new Japanese-Indonesian venture pledged to provide convenient travel service for tourist who like to go around Ubud, Kuta and Sanur but does not want to rely on taxi services.

With fares between Rp 10.000 ($1) for Seminyak, Legian and Kuta lines; Rp 30.000 ($3) for Sanur line; Rp 40.000 ($4) for Nusa Dua line; and Rp 70.000 ($7) for Ubud line, this is an affordable choice for you to travel. You can also use their daily pass for traveling experience cross-line.

Bali (Culinary) Trip in March 2014: Perama Tour

When you are traveling using backpack method, you will wanted to minimize the budget that you spent, including for transportation.

The price range is somewhat quite affordable with price for renting motorcycle starts from Rp 60.000 ($6) per day and price for renting a small car starts from Rp 200.000 ($20).

But if you don't ride a motorcycle (like us) or your bungalows cannot afford a parking space (like we experienced right now) there is an easy way for you to travel in backpack style. Taking a bus trip to Ubud from Kuta using Perama Tours.

With affordable price of Rp 50.000 ($5) per person, you can take the bus to Ubud from Legian Street every four hour. The bus quite old, with no AC, but the experience is priceless!
