09/08/2011 9 Comments

During last night of my stay in Bandung, my friend brought us to Badung Bar & Restaurant that I believe San Miguel is their main beer in this outlet. As my friend told me that this is their latest hangout spot that newly opened end of last year and its already famous among its neighborhood.

It was weekdays and it consider it alot people . .

Will walk in and at the side its filled with greens. .

and this place is seriously spacious. . as I walk further in, i cannot believe how big place it is just for a place to chill and with a few sections to choose from . . .

You can Either sit at the bar area, sofa area, normal dining area or upstairs. . so

and this is the upper area. . .Before I head up where all my friends are seated up there, I walked around and I jus love the ambiance of this bar. 70% made of wood as in rooftop, wall, bar counter, chairs . . .

then only I head upstairs

which is more like a sofa area and certainly this place is not huge but its merrier as the place is small and every 1 talking loud..

Price here is abit more expensive compare to others as I consider here more upper class. . :p

Then I tried out their San Miguel beer draft which is pretty good, not too bitter and smooth . .

and well, leaving Bandung with lots of shopping and this is what I had shopped during my 3 days stay there. . Severe damage in pocket!

Well, I can only say, Bandung is a perfect place to go shopping and eat + extra bonus is their weather is chill at night. ITs best for you to check when is their raining season before you get your tickets.

Full Itinerary will come out soon . .

Chill and enjoy the breeze at The Valley Bistro Cafe & Bistro Hotel @ Bandung, Indonesia

14/06/2011 No Comments

In KL I have never been to Lookout Point before where so many bloggers had blog bout it, yet still have not find a time to head there. . . .During my last trip, I believe this place would be similar to Lookout Point, where is called The Valley Bistro Cafe & Bistro Hotel located at northen Dago area, Bandung.

This is one of a famous restaurant especially to couples that filled with very romantic ambiance, open air concept where you just sit at their open space area and enjoy the chill windy breeze while dining your meal or sipping your wine.

Besides that, after this place had drawn alot of crowd from nearby states, they had also now build a Bistro Hotel more cater for love birds to have their wedding or anniversary here.

some girls they just cant stand the chill windy breeze and of course they do have indoor area which is dim with orange pale lights, and candle lights on each table.

While enjoying your dinner or moments with your love ones, enjoy the live band they have on that night, by singing all romantic acoustic songs .. .

and I was walking around surprise to see Mosandy went to go sing on stage!!!

The live band is good .. .

As we were full from dinner, auntie and uncle mo bring us to this place just to go for their desert, which is quite cheap. for a huge piece of desert for around RM10. . We tried out 4 slices and it was too dark outside i could not take the pics. The deserts are worth to try.

This is the open space area that we sit and many couples were there . . According to my friend, here is you pay for the price of ambiance and food wise is not that good. . .

Well, this is my view for the night and not only I love the view, I love the weather. . cooler than Genting.

A place I would recommend to come if you do visit Bandung ..

Shop till Drop @ Bandung, Indonesia

14/01/2011 22 Comments

Bandung is like consider a shopping paradise where we can purchase alot of goods from. Most of the factory outlet there are filled with some genuine, some rejects and some fakes outlets. Of course it depends on your budget and the area that you are heading to. Bandung have 3 districts that are famous for shopping. As the place I am staying is called Dago, an area which is only 5 minutes walk out to this great factory outlet shopping district.

In the streets of Dago, located at downtown area is where this factory outlet are located. The first factory outlet that I went, Glamour already cost me 60% of my budget alocated for shopping. The clothing materil is good, the brand that I love Nudie Jeans which is a famous brand in Australia, is available in this outlet too, took us about 2 hours in this shop as its huge in there. Besides that, can get Polo, Paul Smith, Hugoboss, Ed Hardy, and many more at a cheap price, ranging from ID 45 000 – ID 500,000, which means as cheap from RM20-RM300.

The whole streets have about 20 outlets here, so be prepare to get heavy damage here, do prepare alot of cash when you do come here, major credit cards are accepted too.

In this area also do have Indonesia local designer too, which is about 15 minutes walk from here.

Next destination we went for shopping was highly recommended by my friend is Setiabudi area that is filled with alot of branded factory outlet and one of the famous one in the area that shall not miss is ‘Ruman Mode’ which host alot of international branded brands with some of them are rejects.

Its more like a open concept area and it might look nobody outside but inside the factory outlet, its filled with LOTS of people. They have cafe and Javanese coffee is available here too, besides this the first shop we went in sell LV, Gucci bags with very reasonable price.

This is the 2nd area that I got totally broke for my first day of shopping. Just took me half a day to spend all my money.

The outlet is located at the streets of 41 Jalan. Dr. Setiabudi. All taxi driver SURE know this place.

Snapshots – Streets of Bandung, Indonesia

10/01/2011 No Comments

I have just coming back from my shopping trip at Bandung, a city where I really shop till drop.. Most of the things there are soooooo CHEAP! That will be on my next blog post and now let me bring you thru some snapshots, Streets of Bandung. So This post will be mainly more on photo’s . . .. . We will just love the temperature there, as at night its a bit similar to Genting Highlands weather, cool and chill and in the afternoon we were lucky that the temperature was around 20-22 degree for both days…

Bandung (pronounced [bənˈduŋ]) (Indonesian: Kota Bandung) is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia, and the country’s third largest city, and 2nd largest metropolitan area in Indonesia,[1] with 7.4 million in 2007. Located 768 m (2,520 ft) above sea level, Bandung has cooler temperatures year-around than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies in a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topography provides a good natural defense system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government’s plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung.

The Dutch colonials first opened tea plantations around the mountains in the eighteenth century, followed by a road construction connecting the plantation area to the capital (180 km or 112 miles to the northwest). The European inhabitants of the city demanded the establishment of a municipality (gemeente), which was granted in 1906 and Bandung gradually developed itself into a resort city for the plantation owners. Luxurious hotels, restaurants, cafes and European boutiques were opened of which the city was dubbed as Parijs van Java (Dutch: “The Paris of Java”).
