Pan-O at FX Sudirman

I’ve never been to the newly renovated FX before although it located just accross Bapindo, where I worked for the previous company. Well, when I worked there I visited the previous FX building but only some shops and some restos in the basement were open. So when we heard that the Pizza Marzano offered a special discount at FX, we went there and were amazed by this mall. This is a totally different mall than what we’ve visited before. The most impressive thing is all the meeting rooms provided by this mall, they were really futuristic. FX is famous for “the slide” which you can ride from the top floor to the ground floor of the mall only in seconds. If you want to try the slide you have to pay Rp 100.000 per peson, and an addition of Rp 50.000 shall be paid when you want to have the pictures of you. Well, I have no gut to try the slide, never.

That day we had lunch in Pizza Marzano, but we’re not going to write about the pizza as it has been written in our blog. We’d like to write about the dessert we had that day although we were fully loaded with the pizza: we tried a delicious stacks at Pan O. It’s a cozy restaurant located in the ground floor which provide different pancakes from different countries. Then we saw in the menu that they had “stacks”. From the pictures I believe it’s kind of pancake as well.. We haven’t tried or heard anything about stacks before, of course we love pancakes, but we don’t know how a stack look like. That’s why we only order original stacks and this is how it’s look like..

The stacks came with butter and maple syrup..as it was still hot the butter melted when we placed it over the stacks...hmmm yummy... Let’s talk about the price now.. I might say it’s not cheap, but also not very expensive. These three pieces of stacks costs Rp 30.000 and of course you have to pay more when more special menu is ordered. But for this cozy restaurant it’s well worth it, you can have pancakes with a cup of coffee while surfing on the internet as free wi fi is provided.

Arisan Cafe & Resto – Bandung

We’ve heard about this resto some months ago as it participated in discount program from our lovely credit card, but we’ve just visited this resto about a week ago when I and Rene decided to have a saturday night dinner, just for the two of us *this is going to be our monthly or hopefully bi-weekly program* Seems it was a good choice cause at night Arisan becomes a romantic resto.

Located near the Sate Building which is Bandung’s icon, this resto really offer the facility to conduct “arisan” (women’s gathering I might translate) because the tables and the chairs or sofa can be occupied by 6 to 8 persons.You may not see small table for 4 person in this resto. We sat on the table for 6 that night, cause it wast the smallest.
We ordered mixed grill and chicken steak with a chocolate cake as our dessert. The steak were not so big and the taste were not special. The mixed grill which rene ordered is much better than my chicken steak. But my disappointment was well paid off by the chocolate cake...mmm it was very yummy!

The steak’s price range from Rp 40.000 to Rp 100.000 for the imported steak, while the cake’s average price is Rp 15.000. I might say that this resto is a bit expensive without the 50% discount program. Compared to another resto, with the same price we can get bigger and much better taste of steak. But still I might say this is a perfect resto to hang out with your friends. The name Arisan really suit this resto.

Our New Years Vacation - Part 4 - the end

Day 4, 1 Januari 2009

Akhirnya tiba juga ke end of our liburan. Hari ini kita musti check out dan pulang. Rasanya males banget mikirin tar musti di jalan 10 jam lagi..hiks.. Apalagi mikirin musti kerja lagi..hehe.. Kita masih nyempetin renang paginya, biar najmi puas berenang di yogya. Sekitar jam10 pagi baru deh kita check out dan meluncur lagi ke bandung.

Seperti biasa kita berhenti berkali-kali, jam makan siang kita berhenti di daerah sebelum Kebumen, maaf nih lupa nama restonya.. Ga lupa kita juga menyempatkan minum dawet yang penjualnya berjejer di sepanjang jalan di daerah Banjarnegara. Ternyata kaya gitu ya rasanya dawet..agak mirip dengan es cendol bandung ya.

Terus pas jam makan sore kita udah nyampe ke Pringsewu lagi, dan kasih makan najmi di situ. Najmi sempet ikutan sulap loh..tuh liat, yang ada cuman kepala najmi doank, kemana badannya ya? hehe..

Kita ga makan di pringsewu, karena pengen nyobain yang namanya bakso SR di daerah Tasikmalaya. Sekita jam 7 malem kita pun nyampe di bakso SR. Pas banget tuh lagi ujan, terus kita makan bakso dengan kuah yang panas..mmm enak banget deh. Dulu bakso SR ini sempet buka di bandung, tapi ga tau kenapa ga bertahan lama. Padahal kalo liat di tasikmalaya ini sih rame banget, banyak bis pariwisata yang parkir. Ternyata jualannya ga cuman bakso, ada juga parasmanan dimana pengungjung tinggal pilih aja mau apa lauk untuk nasinya. Wah tau kaya gini tar lagi kalo ke jawa tengah, mendinganmakan di bakso SR deh daripada di Pringsewu. Dan satu hal lagi yang paling special, di bakso SR ini ada cireng yang menurut rene cireng terenak yang pernah rene makan.

Jam 10 malem kita nyampe di Bandung..langsung deh pada mandi, solat dan tidur. Untungnya baru masuk tgl 5 Jan, jadi masih ada waktu untuk istirahat dulu. Sampai ketemu dengan cerita liburan lainnya ya...
