Oppss...almost forgot to update my blog. Ermm..this time..about my visit to Bandung. Before I start, I jump into conclusion about Bandung; shopping : awesome,shopping paradise, attractive places: awesome, food: nice, facilities: good and effective overall: OK....
Hmm..well, the 1st day, we (I, cici and cici's friend) landed at Hussin Sastranegara Airport at about 8.30 WIB time. Her cousin (Utal) picked us from the airport with his famous Kijang (it's actually Toyota (like Unser) but they call it Kijang).
We surveyed for several hotels and managed to get a good one...Utari Hotel..situated at Jln Dago..where nightlife is damn happening...that was what she said but I wasn't sure because night time is the time for me to zzzzzz...hehe... After checked-in, we went to Bandung Supermall and had our lunch there...I chose typical western food because I wasn't prepared for Indonesian food. Then, we headed to Pasar Baru...Before that...ohhh my Goddddd....it was really making me crazy because they have very lots of nice stuff over there...telekung, tudung, blouses and various textiles where the prices are much much cheaper than in KL...I spent quite a lot of money buying this and that...Bargaining wisely would be better. Since I am still new in this bargaining thingy..I couldn't get the lowest price for each item bought...Damn...I should go with Kak Ruhani next time..so that I can shop like crazy..haha...I bought a set of white brocade...for my wedding day maybe...hehe..Then, met Utal's friends..Sara, Firman and..erkk...forgot his name.
On the 2nd day...went to Tangkuban Parahu with Utal and friends...volcanic mountain actually..love the environment up there..cooling..but turn freezing because it was raining when we arrived there...so many cheap things I bought over there..even a new pink-colored jacket..hehe..luckily there was no purple jacket..huhu..
Up there..I had Batagor..a mixture of beancurd and fish...really yummy!! There was one item I bought..Kayu Batik...really looks like Batik and really unique to me..Cannot get it from anywhere else.
After to Tangkuban Parahu, we went downhill to Kebun Strawberry..well..I was so excited to pluck the strawberries, but unfortunately, most of the strawberries were too small and rotten. Just not our day..Then we return to the city for dinner. I had Nasi Timbel Komplit...hehe..what the hell is that, rite? It is actually rice wrapped in banana leave supplemented with ulam2, fried tempe, salted fish and sayur asam..also sambal belacan...wowww!!!really nice because u couldn't get this kind of cooking in Malaysia..But it's simple though.
3rd day..F.O operation...(factory outlet operation)..hehe..there were many F.Os...and i felt almost crazy..luckily i didn't bring that much money.
4th dat...again F.O operation..
5th day...return to KL..yippiee..miss my room..
