Sugar Tribe @ Jl Trunojoyo, Bandung

Out of curiosity after looking at their instagram posts, i've come here. Currently there are 2 locations in Bandung (Setrasari & Trunojoyo). Sugar Tribe at Setrasari is a cake shop, while the Trunojoyo branch is a small cake & coffee shop with wooden rustic interior.

Red velvet - Rp 30.000

Red velvet, the mousse & cream cheese are not too neatly layered. There's still a hint of cream cheese & sour chocolate. But i found it overly sweet.

Mismatch - Rp 35.000

Mismatch, love the green tea mousse & little rice balls decoration. It gives a nice crunchy taste when you eat it. Don't like the green sugar coating tho. And again, it's too sweet...

MC Chocochips - Rp 20.000

This MC choco chips is far far from my expectation. The molten cake is not even melting inside and it's lumpy. Can you even call that a molten cake? The vanilla ice cream also has decent taste. I'll never ordered this again.

Overall, it's not a want to comeback for more experience. They really need to improve.

Pempek Rama @ Jl Rama, Bandung

Whenever i craved for pempek, i always came here to Pempek Rama. It's currently my no 1 Pempek restaurant in Bandung.

In case you don't know, pempek is originated from Palembang, Indonesia. It is made of fish meat (usually tenggiri fish) mixed with sago flour and served with a special vinegar. So special, you'll add some more *wink*

They provide 2 types of vinegar. If you're an avid spicy fans, try the bottle with red mark. But if you're not, take the other one.

Lenggang biasa - Rp 15.000

Lenggang is my personal Pempek favourite. Yum yum! This is a large size one along with 'Submarine' (i mean Kapal Selam lol).

Lenjer, Kapal selam kecil @ Rp 5.000, Pempek panggang @ Rp 6.000

There are also small size Pempek in various shape (like one I had in picture). I ordered Lenjer, Kapal selam kecil, and Pempek Panggang. Not too fond of Pempek Panggang, since it's harder to cut.

Tekwan - Rp 15.000

Last, this is Tekwan. First time ate it here, and i don't like it. The broth are too bland, you need to add chili sauce or soy sauce to make it tastier. The fish balls have good consistency, but lack of flavour too.

Okay now i'd love to hear about your personal favourite Pempek restaurant. Leave your comment below. See ya!

RM Sedap @ Paskal Hyper Square, Bandung

RM Sedap sells chinese food. If you dine in, there are 2 floors. Not much to say about the interior, since it is a simple one.

Ayam Nanking - Rp 65.000

For the food, i like their Ayam Nanking. It is nicely fried, well seasoned, accompanied with thickened sweet oyster sauce. 

Steamboat - Rp 60.000

Love their Steamboat chicken broth. But very petty for the ingredients. Only few sliced chicken, few sausages, meatball, lots of tofu and pakcoy. Huhuhu....

Cumi Goreng Tepung - Rp 60.000

Last, I don't like this Cumi goreng tepung. It's not crispy, and worst the squid is not fresh. Fishy fishy hmph!

My opinion, they need to improve. It is important to have fresh ingredients, and delicious cooking. Happy tummy is the best :)

Waroenk Anyar @ Jl Astana Anyar, Bandung

Just opened 2 months ago, Waroenk anyar has become one of youth hangout places in Bandung. It sells variety of light snacks, desserts, and drinks. They open daily from 5-11 pm.

There are only few tables here. But I like how they give enough space between tables to enjoy your crazy, chit chat time with your friends. Yay!

Seblak Siomay - Rp 10.000

Since i'm craving for seblak, i ordered this Seblak siomay. But it's not recommended. This menu lack spices.

All about Cheese

Next, i'm having all about cheese. Love the presentation. I actually expect mozarella kind of cheese spring roll. But i barely taste the cheese, it's more like a caramellized one.

Rabbit Ice Cream - Rp 25.000

If you follow me on instagram, you must have seen this one. RABBIT ICE CREAM. Love this one a lot! Adorable presentation, and a nice, refreshing lemon sorbet. Highly recommended.

Sujokdo - Rp 17.000

Sujokdo, don't ask me what that means hahaha, is single scoop ice cream (on picture is matcha & vanilla) topped with marshmallow, oreo, gummies, candy coated chocolate. Cute presentation. I just don't like the gummies & candy chocolate toppings they use.

Vanilla with All about Chocolate - Rp 25.000

Last one is Vanilla with all about chocolate. Two scoop vanilla ice cream with various chocolate kind of toppings.

That's all folks! I'll still come back to Waroenk Anyar to try their other menu, especially curious for their breadbox & indomie menu. Thanks for reading till the end 

Lotek Mahmud @ Jl Mahmud, Bandung

This humble home restaurant has opened since my sister still a high school girl. That means 25 years ago. It remains her Bakmoy favourite, and mine too.

What amaze me is there are no Lotek Mahmud signboard, but people just know it's there. Here is a sign that you're at the right place.

Nasi Bakmoy (nasi 1/2) - Rp 17.000

And this is my champion, Nasi Bakmoy.
Very generous cuts of pig meat, fried beancurd, celery, fried shallot in a very fragrant and wonderful broth. Yum! If you like it spicy, you can add their homemade 'sambal kecap'. But, I don't like how stingy they are. They charge Rp 1.000 for every additional takeaway 'sambal kecap'. Meh!

Petis Tahu - Rp 16.000

Next on my top list is Petis Tahu. I love how the Petis sauce taste is not dominating, but nicely blend with cuts of fried beancurd, beansprout, cucumber, fried shallot, and chips.

Gado-Gado - Rp 16.000

Their Gado-Gado's peanut sauce consistency is great, well complement the steamed potatoes, lettuces, long beans, cabbages, fried beancurds, chips, and cuts of boiled egg.

Nasi Lengko - Rp 16.000

I don't understand the popularity of Nasi Lengko here. Nothing special for me, standard taste with standard ingredients. What do you think?

Rujak Uleg - Rp 15.000

While their Rujak uleg is just too sweet for me.

Saka Bistro @ Jl Karang Sari, Bandung

UPDATED! Saka Bistro has become one of my favorite coffee time cafe in Bandung. I really really like the ambiance and enjoy my sip of coffee here.

As i stepped in, i'm greeted by a cute vespa honk honk...hehe... The room is spacious & bright, has plenty windows, some pop up color here & there. Every corner is instagram worthy. It's a great place to chill out/hangout with your friends or family, and even to work with your laptop. There's also wi-fi available if you need it.

For the food, I ordered this Hamburg steak. Standard taste of beef patty, fries, salad & sauce. I just like the runny egg

Hamburg Steak - Rp 60.000

While the Sticky ribs is good. It's a fragrant green rice with caramelized tender juicy ribs.

w

Sticky Ribs - Rp 67.000

Overall, the food taste is standard. But their latte art is fabulously GORGEOUS and taste great. This is a must must order if you come to Saka Bistro. You can choose which art you want from their instagram @sakabistrobar or @tan2_saka . Don't forget to call if their barista Tan2 is there tho. He's the man behind all the cute and beautiful latte art here.

3D latte art - Rp 40.000

Dapoer Pandan Wangi @ Jl Patuha, Bandung

My first post! Yay!
Got really hungry as i'm writing this post huhu, as it's so YUMMY.
If you're in Bandung, come and try it, then leave me a comment below.

As you step in Dapoer Pandan Wangi, you'll feel traditional sundanese ambiance, as they use wooden tables and chairs. And you'll notice 'lesehan' area at the upright corner.

Their menu are all about sunda and indonesian F&B. Here are some that i tried,

Tumis kangkung kemangi - Rp 15.000

Tumis kangkung kemangi is sauteed with shallots and chili, giving a subtle hint of spicy. Good thing they only use kangkung leaves and upper stems part.

Terong raos - Rp 17.000

Their Terong raos is well cooked. Soft inside, CRISPY outside.

Tumis pete telor - Rp 22.000

I don't eat stinky beans, but i like how its aroma blend in the Tumis pete telor. Sauteed with onion, adding sweetness to this menu

Sop ikan gurame kuah merah - Rp 60.000

Sop ikan gurame kuah merah is served in a hot pot, so it will stay warm to your last sip. It's infused with lots of spices, such as lemongrass, lime leaves, kemangi leaves. While the slightly red colour comes from tomato juice, giving a sour fragrant taste. All of that plus tender gurame fish meats. Ohhh i LUV it!
