I think i'm gonna be a fat one, or even a pig (!!), since i always eat and eat and eat. My activities weren't so busy recently, so i spent my times with watching DVDs, going out, and of course, eating. Especially, last month, when my friends and me -Happy Team- going to Bandung....
There were promo sales for Surabaya-Bandung flight which must be bought at December, and flight around February - April. And that was so cheap. So, last December, we -12 people- already bought the flight tickets for this trip. But, in the end, there were 3 of us can't join the trip, including Hun :'(. Poor Hun, poor me. Then, i have another friend who replace one ticket with his name. So, we started the trip with 10 people.
However, i was so amazed with that number of people joining this trip -10- !! It was surprised that we can go together for a trip with 10 of us together. It almost all of us. We coordinate our trip together, and having fun together for such quite big number of people to be gathered for. Since last time we went together to Bali, Bangkok, Jakarta, maybe just about 6-7 people.
Well, let's our trip begin...
Day 1 - We purposely manage our trip from Friday - Sunday, to avoid busy working days, so many of us can join this trip. We gathered together at friday noon, waiting for our flight at Juanda Airport hurriedly. But it turns out they delayed our flight for about 1 hour.
When we came to Bandung, we already booked two cars to pick up us going to Hotel and wherever we want. So, the drivers were waiting for us to pick up us, with hand a paper written there : "HAPPY TEAM"
.......
Wow... we were surprised... x_x. One of my friend who booked the cars said to them we booked the cars in the name of HT. Haha.. how comes.. But that was a nice greeting to Bandung, since the airport was soooo small.
While some of us check in to the Hotel's room, some of us were waiting at the lobby. And, when we are not doing anything, we used to take a picture. Haha. So, we took some pictures there. Again and again for the next two days (everytime we wait there).
After check in at Hotel. We are going to some cafes at Dago, which one of us said that Dago is quite beautiful place at night. So we go to Sierra. It's nice outdoor cafe which we can see Bandung from to the top.
Food is quite good, but not the best i think.

| Mushroom Cream Soup |
It's Late night but we still don't want go back to Hotel, since we just have a very short time in Bandung. Then, someone told us to go to Motzen. That was a beer cafe. It's near Sierra, and same view, we can see Bandung night light from top. Because its name is beer cafe, so we ordered Beer Tower. Haha. But in the end, no one really want to have it lot.

| Apple Struddle which is very very good !!! |
Day 2 - It's quite difficult to sleep in a one standard hotel room within 7 people inside. Even they are 7 GIRLS. Which is so damn loud and very fussy. Plus plus is we are alllll together !!! You can imagine how was the situation. But it's all no matter, since we feel soooooo damn happy.
Today we were planning to go to Tangkuban Perahu and Lembang. A lil late because of the car's problem, but finally we started to Tangkuban Perahu at 10am. So, before that, we took lot pictures again.. Haha..
Since we haven't breakfast yet, so we were looking for something to eat, along our way to Tangkuban Perahu. Which we found is the local Bandung's food : Roti Bakar (TOAST) and "Colenak". But, it was super disappointed for us. Call us villagers or maybe Surabaya people is so poor. But we ate Roti Bakar which is sooooooo thin and nothing special for Rp. 25.000,- and it just a small WARUNG. Not even a standard eating place.
Damn !
But, when we met our Bandung's friend, he said that near Tangkuban Perahu is maybe already a recreational area, so they raise the price, and that price is quite nor-mal for Bandung or Jakarta people !! Err.....
So, let's not talking anymore about the most expensive toast. We finally arrived at Tangkuban Perahu. It's very nice area actually, but Indonesia always can't preserve their own asset. However, you can see my taken pic below.
We took sooooo much pictures together there. And when i see again just now, i really missed that moment.
Along our way back to Bandung, we stopped at some places. (And again is food place, haha). There was a place sold Milky-Tofu. It looks like common tofu in Indonesia, but inside is very smooth and nice.
Then, next stop, we went to Sapu Lidi (which means broomstick). I wonder maybe this place was built and named during the Harry Potter booming's period. Haha. Look at the S looks like thunder at Harry's forehead. This place looks like eating at the traditional Indonesia's farm. We ate at small gazebo, with no chair. So, we sat at the wooden floor of the gazebo. Food are delicious and very worthed with their unexpensive price. Outside they also sell local snacks.
Next food station, we go to Kampung Daun. This place was so hugeee. You can't call it a restaurant. Just call it a small village, since it's soooo damn large. Its place even has a small river around, and you need to walk through some hills till you can get your table at the top of this location.
Your table is also like a small gazebo, but it feels more natural, seems like a gazebo in a middle of forest. Very nice place. Food is quite so-so. But, it's a lil difficult to call the waiter if you need something.
Last station that night was at Maja House. This one also a good cafe. They also have a hotel and club inside. The hotel looks so nice. They only have 12 rooms, and every rooms has different interior.
Food here is also very delicious. I'm craving now for all the food i ate at Bandung... arghh...
This place i really love is greentea ice cream, with some applechips, which is super super delicious. I wish i could buy the applechip to take home.....
Day 3 - Time to packing. But nothing to be packed, since we go to Bandung not for shopping, but for eating.
Batagor Kingsley. That was our breakfast menu + Durian Ice Cream. Yummy! I like durian, but i don't really like food which is durian flavor. But this ice cream really nice, so i like it.
Batagor actually is a food, consists for Siomay and Tofu with peanut sauce. It's quite delicious, but not my favourite. I take home for my parents and Hun, they like it so much. I didn't take the picture, but you can go browsing to see how is actually this food looks.
Another food spot we went to before we go home is Primarasa. It was like foodgift center. They sell brownies, banana bolen, and some typical Bandung's snack. We bought quite lot there then what we bought need to be packed in a cartonbox.
Our last journey end in a Hummingbird Cafe. The place was super super cosy. The food were also super super delicious. They mixed the good place with delicious taste and nice appereance of the dining plate. We took a lot pictures also.
This cafe i think is so artistic. Food is also very delicious, and price is so-so. You buy the food including the environment. It realy worthed to eat here. They cook nicely with very nice appereance too, and nice ambience. Good one !
And finally we split into some group, continue our journey each of us. My group were going to airport to take flight back home Surabaya. Some are going to Jakarta, and some are extend in Bandung.
We had last trouble in airport when we want to go back Surabaya, but i'm so tired to write now. I'll write it later in another post.
Today we were planning to go to Tangkuban Perahu and Lembang. A lil late because of the car's problem, but finally we started to Tangkuban Perahu at 10am. So, before that, we took lot pictures again.. Haha..
