Bandung the Factory Outlet Heaven & Yogyakarta the Paradise Part 3/3

Let Us Continues the Travelogue..

Day 5: Tangkuban Perahu

Tangkuban Perahu a well known crater in Bandung is the main attraction here!! As usual it was packed with tourist taking pictures every corner. The weather there was a little chilling so it was not that tired to climb up to the peak for a better angle shot!!

 

After a tired walk we rush to our long awaited lunch in Kampung Daun. The set up there was stunning. It definitely worth going for it though it is faraway!!

This is the well known nasi ayam penyet, not my favorite because of the sambal!!I’m not a fan of chilies!!

 

The grill fish is so tender and juicy. Chew it on with the white fragrant rice is so appetizing.

 

This so called calzone, a type of pizza with filling inside. It was just ok for me!

 

 

Fried Kangkung, nothing special about it!

Overall, this place worth visit for it environment NOT the food as its rather expensive and portion is really small.

Next is still SHOPPING at Jalan Riau, we went to THE SECRET which was the best among others..It was raining in the evening we have to run from one shop to another. There after, we thought of having a nice massage at MERIANTI, price is cheap but I couldn’t remember the price. I was given a few type of aromatherapy oil to choose from i opt for Lavender as this will never go wrong. They do serve ginger tea after the massage.

Dinner was taken at a Chinese stall in front of our hotel, we order Cantonese fried mee, Loh Mee and fried rice. It wasn’t that good though..

Day 6: Brownies

The one thing that is must buy from Bandung is Brownies. Well to me it’s just like another piece of chocolate cake. At Kartika Sari, there are lots of different Brownies types available. Just choose the one you like and pay at the counter.

 

 

Almond Brownies is my favorite!!!

With the brownies, our trip end in Bandung and we head back to Kuala Lumpur after that!

Bandung the Factory Outlet Heaven & Yogyakarta the Paradise

Finally I managed to upload this post after so long in my waiting list…

I remember clearly on that day we reach airport at 5.45pm and hungriness surround my thoughts and wait no more head to Taste if Asia. Urghhh yucks the chicken rice was bad. We end up walking across to McDonald which finally satisfied our hungry stomach.

Day 1: Candle Light Supper

 

Agus our tour guide suggested to try out food at this Paskal Food Market. The food was good and is very westernized. Entire area is covered with LED lights and in the centre I can see a wishing statue with fountain.

I must say the parmesan cheese garnished on top of the chicken chop is really delicious.

Happy Family!!

The night ends here, check in to Mutiara Hotel. I’ll give credit to the exterior environment that makes me feel totally in holiday mood. The plant surrounding is so refreshing and cooling. However, the interior (The room) is totally the opposite side where you can see small room, stinky wardrobe, dirty bathroom and old bed!! I don’t have time to bother, I need sleep…

Walking out of the room in the morning is great. Luckily we have our breakfast just right beside the swimming pool. Though the malay breakfast style is not my type, by sipping my coffee with a bite of toast next to the pool is great!

 

Day 2: Factory Outlet Shopping Spree

 

we spend a whole day glancing through tops and bottoms, trying pieces of cloths and flipping through price tag. For me, my favorite of all the factory outlet is Rumah Mode. Despite the beautiful design on the building, the fashion pieces in the stores is definitely great and edgy!!

My favorite picture of the trip!!.

Well picture is not allowed inside the outlet and I was busy shopping i kept my camera aside.

We head to one of the biggest shopping mall in Bandung, Paris Van De Jawa for lunch. We are too early, most of the restaurant is still preparing hence KFC is the only option!!1 Seriously the KFC is nothing compare to the one in KL…Weird is that they pair it with white rice and the sad part is there is not mash potatoes nor coleslaw!!

We begin our bumpy journey to Pengandaran Beach!

 

I’ll continue later..stay tune..

2 in 1 Crunchy Skin Meat Hunt

A few months back while I am really busy at work, I get sneak out some of my precious time to try out these crunchy skin duck and crunchy ‘caramel like’ BBQ pork a.k.a cha siew.

 

Chewing this crunchy yet sticky caramel like cha siew while the fatty meats slowly melt in my mouth before I swallow down was so delightful on that bright morning. For a fact the taste of the dried “sang mee” as well as the bowl of wanton (skin wrapped with minced pork) was very common. The main highlights was the cha siew; some may call it glass cha siew “Bo Li Cha Siew” It can also be eaten together with the normal chicken rice.

 

On another day when the sky turn dull, I sneak out to try this delicious Roast Duck. The tenderness of the flesh and thin crunchy skin is blew me away!

These fried Hokkien Mee and Cantonese Fried Mee was something just to fulfill our hungry stomach as the duck will definitely be to little for our spacious tummy! Hokkien Mee is good but the other ones wasn’t that good.

Tehehe my rabbit was so obvious in this pictar…I found it adorable…OMG..

Munakata, Authentic Japanese Ala Carte Buffet

Though it’s Christmas eve, I did not chose to dine in a western restaurant not even bother to order a turkey instead I went to Munakata! I had been eyeing on Munakata for more than a year! Finally I able to try it for the one last time before it is closed for renovation.

Surprisingly there were no jam at all, thus we able to reach there by 7.30pm. The building was quite old and was not well maintained…The lift especially makes me feel uneasy! When we walk in the restaurant the manager greeted us and seat us down at a corner table!

There is 2 station where one serves sashimi and sushi and another one serves all kinds of tepanyaki meat! We start off with some green tea, sashimi and chawan mushi. Green tea was pleasant while Salmon doesn’t look fresh but taste like fresh marines!!

 

Chawan mushi was simple yet delicate!

 

Here come the Tepanyaki Goodies!!!

Beef was tender and juicy, perfectly good when match with fried cabbage…

 

Chicken meat ball were too normal to comment!

Chicken meat stick was grilled to perfection!

Grilled eggplant is extremely tasty!! The mince meat is too good!!

 

Flaky Salmon, Saba & Cod fish just got me ordering more & more.

 

The legendary Grilled Unagi was the star of the night! We ordered more than 20 plates! It was served hot and the meat is flavorful and delicious!

The orange salmon nigri sushi is hard to resist!

Scallop!!!! As big as 50cent!! Do need to elaborate more? Unbelievable chewing experience!!

Well this noodle tame my stomach after all the yummy food! The clear broth was good!

Time for mouth watering dessert, the macha ice cream. I must say this is the best I ever had!!

Cameron Getaway

This is the third trip up to Cameron in 2010, still haven’t get bored of it yet! Unfortunately, year end trip isn’t a good idea as it’s school holiday and it’s raining season! Traffic jam along the Tanah Rata that we rather walk with our foot then driving. Lucky we stay in Parkland apartment that located approximately 1km away from the Tanah Rata town.

We bring a lot of food for steamboat at our apartment. The apartment is quite a decent one but try to request for level 2 as it does not have lift and bringing all your stuff up to level 3 or 4 will be a nightmare!

Since I have post quite some review in Cameron already so this post it’s all about photos.

2010: The most Thrilling Christmas Celebration Part 2

 

Part 2: Midvalley, Huggie Teddy World

Today trip was well planned just a week beforehand. Me and Thomas woke up rather early for Neway K-Lunch Karaoke.

Such a relief after singing and screaming at the top notch BUT sore throat after that!Nah that doesn’t stop us from capturing Christmas moment at Mid Valley.

Huggie Teddy was the Christmas theme for Midvalley this year. From the very huge to the very tiny little teddy bear. The first spot was at the north court selling all kinds of souvenirs and toys. Shot captured with Huge Teddy lying on the big yacht.

 

Some bokeh shots of candy decor…

Heading to the center court; crowds surround every teddy bear as well as all the huge standing toys.

 

Along the path, the Gelato Fruity Ice Cream booths grab my attention! Order 2 scoop of ice cream that consist of mango and chocolate flavor and snapping around with the giant teddy bear..

 

 

 

 

I look so tiny over here…

North and centre finish and now the south court!! The snow, rain deer and icy white xmas trees!

 

I loves the idea that Midvalley team had contributed for this year xmas celebrations.. It is really a memorable shopping moments for me...

Keep coming back for Garden Xmas decorations reviews…
