An Unforgettable Weekend in Bandung - Part 2

Cause we’re already in Dago area, after having our breakfast, we went to Kartika Sari Dago. I haven’t been there for a while and I was amazed with their new look. Beside the Kartika Sari, there’s also cafe and even Factory Outlets in the second floor. They also have some cozy meeting rooms. One more thing, they even build a basement for the parking area. Wow...really a nice place!

Next destination is still to look for Bandung’s fave food, so we went to Kue Bawean in Jalan Riau and Gepuk Ny. Yong. Gepuk Ny Yong is quite expensive now, it cost Rp 8,000 for one piece of Gepuk. You may choose to buy the original or the spicy one.
Already in Riau area, we move on to Primarasa on Jalan Kemuning. Some of the team were shopping there and some were having a photo session at Bestcare, the baby shop right in front of Primarasa.

After having some shopping, we decided to have delicious cheesecake at Cizz on Jalan Laswi Bandung, not far from Primarasa. We ordered blackforest cizz, triple cizzcake and strawberry marble cizz. Yummy...
Enough in Riau area, we move on to Batagor Kingsley on Jalan Veteran, too bad we didn’t take any picture there. We ordered some batagor and siomay, and also bought batagor to be taken away. After batagor, we went to Rasa ice cream and bakery, to try what I told them “the best ice cream in Bandung” Because everyone was full, we only bought one single scoop and they agree that the ice cream was delicious.
Finally it was time to have lunch and we went to blackpepper in Jalan Maulana Yusuf. Although everyone was really full after a half day dining experience, still each person ordered one portion of steak.

After the great and heavy lunch, everyone was agree to visit some Factory Outlets before we try something else. We went to the Cascade, Heritage, The Summit and Stamp. But only myself who did the shopping for najmi and his cousin, while the rest thought that Mangga Dua is cheaper. Because I haven’t found anything for najmi’s cousin, so I asked everyone to company me to a factory outlet called “anak kecil” and finally I found something there.

To close our dining experience session in Bandung that day, we went to eat Sop Buah Ewok near Gedung Sate Bandung. It was also the first time that I had the es buah ewok, and when I tried it, I really regret why I haven’t tried this delicious food until now? The fruit are fresh, mixed up one another giving it really fresh taste.
Time flew really fast that day, and after the sop buah session, it’s time to go to the travel which will take them to Jakarta. Before we went to City Trans travel, we bought baso tahu lavie on Jalan Imam Bonjol, and there we met Samuel and Audrey who picked up Yuni. Before saying goodbye, we took one last picture.. Hope that everyone will keep the Bandung’s memory in their heart like I do.

PS. I’m writing this story during my maternity leave, and I really miss each and eveyone of you girls.....Hope to see you all again very soon

An Unforgettable Weekend in Bandung - Part 1

I often spend my weekend in Bandung, but this special weekend I’d like to write here is the weekend I spent with my beloved team; Lusi, Mely, Sisca, Yuli, Yuni, and Yenni.
We left our office Friday afternoon, then we go directly to Bandung. Thanks God the traffic was really fine that we could arrive around 8 pm in Bandung. We went directly to PVJ to have dinner at Zuki Suki, but we had to wait because the resto was full. So we decided to have a cup of ice cream from Gelato Bar first.


Then we were walking down the shops in PVJ when I got a call from zuki suki informing that our table is ready. Yippiieee we were so hungry.. The dinner was to celebrate my bday which has already past one month hehe... everyone loves the food.

After the zuki suki experience, we went to my home, except Yuni who was picked up by her husband and was going to join the team again tomorrow morning. Bye PVJ, we’re going to visit you soon..

The next morning, everyone woke up early and by 7 AM , everyone is ready to leave my home. I had to leave najmi with my mother and Rene that Saturday. So sorry Najmi..
First destination was to have a chicken porridge at Mang Oyo on Jalan Sulanjana Bandung. We arrived at 7.30 and the place was really crowded. We had to wait for a while to have our chicken porridge. It was the first time for everyone except for Sisca and myself, but they all like it.

Toko Coklat Bandung


Having read a review on Toko Coklat on one of architect magazine, we decided to visit this shop. As written in the magazine, the building is very unique, yet it is a very cozy place to hang out with your friends or your loved one.


We tried some chocolates which cost Rp 3,500 each, a glass of ice chocolate Rp 15,000 and also a chocolate cake which cost Rp 10.000. Hmmm yummy...



The chocolate was really good, even better than Dapur Coklat. The Ice Chocolate was ok, but the cake was lousy, or we choose the wrong variety of cake? This Toko Coklat located on Jalan Progo, near Riau area. Next time you shop in the factory outlets in Riau area, make sure you also visit Toko Coklat. I guarantee that you’ll agree the chocolates are really special.
