Sundanese Food

First of all, let me just tell you guys that on this Wednesday, i am heading back to Bali. I have been spending my days in Jakarta for about a month. My mom was telling me to celebrate my birthday here with my brothers and friends, but finally i made my mind that i am going to do it with mom, dad, sister and bali friends. Since my day to Bali is in keep getting closer, so I asked my friends to accompany me for a visit to Bandung.

Fang Fang and me had been talking about this visit since a week ago, asked friends to join but there was no final answer untill friday nite. The trip was a day trip. And here it goes!

We headed Bandung at 4 o'clock with Fang Fang's car. Fang Fang, Adi, Sella, and me were in the car, and Dirga was also joined in after we picked him up from Kuningan the place where he had a swimming competition.

It was a long ride, and I was as the driver. We were riding on the highway, a large size, and bumpy road on the end of it. Dirga and Sella were sleeping during the journey and Fang Fang and Adi stayed with me.

After 3 hours driving, finally we arrived. Directly we had our dinner in a Sundanese restaurant. It was a nice restaurant, good food, as well as the price. Not long after we finished our food, we went to unsure place tried to find hotel to stay in. Visited some hotels, Fang Fang, Adi and Me were waiting in the car while Dirga and Sella went to the lobby asking for prices, room available and take a look for the room condition.

Hotels after Hotels, finally we made our decision to spent our night in The Batoe hotel. It was a nice hotel and price. I mean the price is worth the room. It was a new hotel. One room eight people occupied. Went to the room, Dirga had a poop and I had a quick shower. Rushed going to PVJ mall (Paris Van Java) to meet Hendra, Bayu and Joven who were late comers.

Had a sit in Red Bean cafe until then Fang Fang met her mom and sister. It was really nice to see someone face that was mesmerized. She was really happy. Spent about an hour and we headed Jack House club.

I thought it would be another cafe, but I was wrong. It was a club. A cheap club, good song and fun. The drinks available were extremely cheap, it was almost half of standard price. Almost had a bottle of Jim Beam which was only Rp. 250,000 where in other place it was about a million. Waited for quite some time until the waiter came and told us Jim beam wasn't available anymore. Selected another bottle, and it was also unavailable. Last choice was jugs of beer. We had 4 jugs and drank it by a card game.

The night was over and we headed back to our hotel. Just imagine! A room 3.5 m x 4 m occupied by 8 people. How i was supposed to sleep. I slept in one bed with Sella and Joven. The other bed was Dirga and Hendra. Adi and Fang Fang were spending the night at the bed foundation ( The bed had 2 layers, one was the bed and the other one is the one that Fang Fang and Adi slept on). Bayu who had the biggest body sacrificed his self to had his rest on the sofa.

Almost no sleep i had. Really small space and the other reason was that I couldn't stand the room temperature which was so hot. Not only me, but Bayu also had a bit of sleep.

Woke up at 9. Everyone had their shower and we checked out from the hotel at 12. We went to Dago street, and had our lunch. I didn't, since i had my brunch which was supposed to be breakfast at the hotel restaurant. I enjoyed a small glasss of strawberry juice at the place where everyone had their lunch. Walked to Kartika Sari bake shop and bought some cake and bread for mom and us.

Our next desitination was Distro ( its a shop that sells clothing for people around our age). Went to shop after shop and I had 2 T-shirts and Dirga had his long sleeve.

Places we should visited are done and so we headed back Jakarta. This time, i was the passenger and Hendra was a driver for his own car. He drover like shit, really fast, scary but safe. It was only one and a half our drive which was actually supposed to be 3 hours. Shit, it was really fast.

Keep on opening my blog, and u'll see more......
