| [2016 Bandung] |
It's maybe too late to post this but hey, better late than never right ?
First, how to start this story ? Ohh yeahh, December was quite the best month of my 2016, why ? It's simply because holiday duhhh! and what's the best part of this year's holiday ? For me, I spent my December with traveling to Bandung, Bali and lastly Pontianak! I know, I was super tired too after that trip.
DAY 1
 |
| [From left : Bryan, me, Eline, Muti, Brazel] |
So for this trip, I had my own squad. First was my best mate from my year Bryan ( @bryan_aristaa ) and Brazel ( @brazelton.tasek ) and next, we had my junior, Eline ( @monicaadelinee ) and Muti ( @mutiarajesslyn ). We started our trip really early that day and we stopped at the rest area for breakfast. It was unexpectedly that the road to Bandung was clear and no traffic even it was a national holiday. It was such a blessed to start our trip!

What's good in here ? Well, basically it was hard to go to this place because it was on the uphill and also it is a cafe in the hotel so it was a bit crowded even in the morning. Coffee was good but mediocre, simple art latte, smell nice and it was not so bitter. Too bad that we can't try their bagel ( if I'm not mistaken ) because it was out of stock.
This place was really refreshing, because it was located on the uphill, we could feel the breeze and it was really fresh. We were like don't wanna go from this place. The view was good and it was really a romantic place. Maybe one day I could bring my partner to have a date here, Ihiiyy! Anyway they have a really nice Cinnamon Roll!
So that's how we spend our lazy morning to noon at Eugene the Goat, we continued our trip to the next destination! It was a tourist's mandatory place! Tangkuban Perahu Mountain!
Yeahh, Tangkuban Perahu Mt. is always an iconic place to visit in Lembang, Bandung! The view was amazing! The crater was very far from the observer cliff, I really wanna went down there and have a nice photo but it's okay since it's still look beautiful!
What we did here ? We just ate! HAHAHAHAAHA. There's one meatballs stall that I really loved because it was so fkin' delicious! It was really nice to ate warm food in the middle of cold weather!
After that, because Bryan and Brazel was pretty tired. We decided to eat at Kampung Daun Resto in Lembang too. But too bad, It was really a bad traffic in Lembang because of the landslide.
Kampung Daun Resto was the best place if you want to eat and take a nap because of the ambience and also the concept was the "gubuk" restaurant where it was quiet and private. We slept for about 2-3 hours before heading back to the town. Also we waited for the traffic.
Back to the town, we had a really nice rest and bath, but we still hungry and that's why we went out to eat. there's one place that you should visit at night. It was not a restaurant but a food stall at the roadside. It is a really famous food stall called Bistik AA!
It is located on Jl. Astana Anyar no. 218, Bandung ! So if you happened crossing this street, you better stop for awhile and try this fuckin' delicious fried rice and Chicken steak ( or katsu ) on the top of it! It is cheap and so delicious! This is the best street food I've ever so far in Bandung!
And after eating that delicious thing, we just hang around at some bar for one or two shot and also beers, we just talked and chit chatted, it was a pretty good way to end our first dan and we looked up for the next day!
We started day 2 a lil' bit to late, and it was already bright that day! We had our breakfast at Please Please Please, it was one of the "hits" cafe in Bandung! And also we came to eat there because they had buy one get one breakfast only promo!! LOL! That's the main reason we came there!
Please Please Please
Jl. Progo No.37, Citarum,
Bandung Wetan, Kota Bandung,
Jawa Barat 40115
Despite of their eye catching promo, I was a bit curious about this place too, because it was so cute and also instagable hellaaawww! It such a waste to miss this chance to not visit this place while in Bandung.
This place was placed with many neon light which is their charm about this place, and this place interior was painted with such a light color as soft pink that dominate this place.
So now, let's talk about the food. Since we came here for breakfast, we only ordered breakfast menu! We got Big breakfast, some big sandwich that I forgot the menu name and waffles! Let's start from the sandwich first, it was actually an okay, the portion was really humongous and because of the big portion it was really hard to ate it and it's all carbs! Next, their big breakfast was delicious but mediocre, typical menu that you could found easily everywhere.
The best thing was their Waffles! It was crisp and light, texture define everything. For me, it's their Chicken Waffle that won my heart! Their chicken was super tender and fried nicely. On the top of that, it was honey that complete this dish! What a perfect breakfast to start a day!
We didn't do much at our second day because we were late to start our schedule but it's still packed. If I need to point out one of the highlight of our second day, it would be the Kawah Putih ! Because it was really far from the city itself and very tiring to go there.
What's very memorable about this place was we were occasionally visit this just to took many picture, but after we arrived and just took our first photo group, suddenly it started raining! OMFG! We ran all over to the car which where very far from the crater itself.
But the rain stopped eventually after about an hour we stuck at the car playing poker, we continued visiting this place, took so many picture and played around. Kawah Putih was a Sulphur crater that looks really beautiful and the crater was so clear also, but it was a bit smelly. Thanks god, I was born in Indonesia because we had so many beautiful scenery and nature here! Other country might be have a better infrastructure and more developing than us but some of them might be don't have a magnificent view like this.
After a tiring day, we just went to our hotel and had delivery food for our dinner, we just chill and listening to some music. JK we also drink alcohol until we drunk and the rest is historyyy muahahahhaa! P.S we had a really good time LOL XD
We didn't do much on our last day, it was because we scheduled this day for chill and buy some snacks and souvenir for our family and others. We only went to two places before leaving Bandung.

First, and probably for our breakfast, I found this place on ig and it seems it was the new hype in the town! It was Sydwic!
Let me tell you something, this place was effin' BEAUTIFUL ! So lovely and I really love they put the plants all over so nicely! It looks like a magic garden! So fuckin' love this place! Really really love this place, the lighting was perfect!
But what's the important thing about a cafe is their food right ? So for the food I was a lil' bit disappointed or maybe just unlucky, all the rice based food we ordered was a yuckk! Because it was not a rice, it's almost taste like porridge, a very plain porridge I mean. Idk if they purposely make their food like that or I'm just unlucky, but anything except for that was good. I love their chicken, meat and other toppings on the bowl. For their noodle and sandwich also nice too.

Well, at first I didn't believe that they said this place was not so big as it seems, but I gotta admit it was a bit smaller than what I expected. But the good thing is this place have a really nice ambience to hang out with your friend.
Gotta admit that they have a really nice coffee but for the food like quiche and cinnamon roll, it was a so so. Cafe Latte was so nice, simple art latte, but still could feel the caffeine kicks and also it so balanced and not too bitter.
It was our last stop before leaving Bandung, but we still didn't get enough of Bandung. We wished we could back here again as soon as possible and explore more! Because life is too short to only know what you know now right?
Yeappp, it was a really fuckin' long post! I hope you guys like it too! Brace yourself because part 2 & 3 coming throuuuuuuuuuu! :p
