Hartwood Bandung: Great Food & Place To Dine Out

No matter that many new restaurants and cafe are coming to Bandung, still I found it hard to decide where to take our family for dinner. Saturday evening is always very crowded in Bandung, so easy access (and less trafiic) to the restaurant is very important. Yes there are many beautiful restaurants in the northern part of Bandung, but it is far away from my house which is located in the southern part of the city.

Restaurants in the heart of the city has been our preference, and one of them is Hartwood Bandung. The restaurant is located on Jalan Cimanuk (near Jalan Riau), very close to the factory outlets area on Jalan Riau.

Hartwood Bandung is also only a few meters away from our favourite coffee shop in Bandung: Two Cents. Read our full review of Two Cents: A Cafe To Start Your Weekend in Bandung.

Jogjakarta in One Day: Our Mommies Day Out Trip

Lately, I made many short trips with my family and friends during weekend. Having limited days of leave from the office was the main reason, other will be to have "a me time" with my friends. And that what we did when we decided to explore Jogjakarta in one day.

Thanks to many flights from Jakarta's International Airport Soekarno Hatta to Jogjakarta. We left Jakarta at 06.00 am (Garuda Indonesia's first flight) and took the 09.00pm as our return flight.

During the day, what we did was mainly shopping and enjoying Jogjakarta's culinary. We stopped by at Ullen Sentalu museum, but did not join the tour until the end because of our time constraint. We ended our day at Epic Coffee, a very nice coffeeshop in Jogjakarta, my favourite so far.

Here's our Mommies Day Out Trip, from breakfast to dinner in Jogjakarta. Pssst, we made 10 stops in one day!

When you are staying in a hotel which is located in the northern part of Bandung and Lembang, it's better to stay at you hotel for dinner to avoid the traffic jam in the area. That's what we did when we stayed at Mercure Bandung Setiabudi.

What's better than having a BBQ in the cold air of Bandung? We went downstairs to Hardy's Dining Room around 7.30 pm. The restaurant was already busy with other guests who were enjoying the BBQ Spice Grill at Mercure Bandung.
