Bandung Trip

Wow.... bulan ni makcik asyik berjaaaaaaalaaaan aje!! Macam orang kaya daaa... !! But the truth.... tuan punya poket aja yang tahu... hahaha! :)

Actually, this Bandung trip had been planned earlier with my girl friends from office... infact, tahun lepas lagi we all dah beli ticket air asia murah nih! The girls - Tda, Jun and Linda requested me to join them since I have been to Bandung before... lagi pun mmg dah kamcing kan... tak syok la kalau diorang pegi without me... muahahaha! :D

It was really, really fun!! ;) I had a greattt time with the girls!! LCCT departure waiting room pun dah cantik... compared during my Hanoi trip. Our bag masa ke Bandung tu ringan giler! (even my bibik pun terkejut how ringan the bag was!) Haha... ye lah.. dah plan nak borong barang!! Bawalah se minima yg boleh! *LOL*

We arrived at the Bandung airport around 1pm (local time) and our supir, Pak Andang waited for us at the airport. Pak Andang is such a nice guy... sporting giler.. hehe. First, we checked in at the hotel... the CASA dua Guest House. Punya lah corok location hotel ni... and so small! Alhamdulillah my room was clean.. boleh aaa.... tak leh comment byk2 sebab hotel murah kannn... :) Next... lunch at Bumbu Desa - sundanese food. Tda tak sabar2 nak cuba air es jeruk kelapa.. :) Sedap!! I like!! ;)

Arrival at Bandara Hussein Sastranegara Bandung Airport. The one in white in this pic is Tda... I am the one with yellow backpack kat depan sket tu :)

Our supir on duty - Pak Andang

Lunch at 'Bumbu Desa' - Sundanese Restaurant. See the 'Es Jeruk Kelapa'?? It's actually orange juice + kelapa :) I am not this pic... well, who do you think snap this pic??? :P

Infront of Bumbu Desa Restaurant - picture taken by Pak Andang laa.. :) Masa ni sume cun lagi... pakai kasut lengkap :)

After lunch terus ke Pasar Baru (since Pasar Baru tutup awal).... sampai je sana... wahhhh... the girls dah tak tentu arah tenguk batik2 and telekong2 yg cantik di sana :D Cik Linda on first day dah spent RM1000+ on batik sutera only kat kedai Batik Ahmad!! Banyak betul minah ni borong batik!! Yang cantik2 sume dia dapat... tak sempat makcik nak pilih!!. (Linda cakap... "tu aa... sapa suruh lambat sangat 'start engine'!! heheh) Unfortunately, Linda's debit card tak leh guna (at first we all pun heran pesal card tu tak leh guna... tapi on 3rd day kot.. baru tahu apa complication card tu)... so I offered my credit card lah. Takut karang gigit jari lak adik sorang tu tak dapat beli batik2 yg cantik tu... ;) Other than batik.. on first day ni kami kemaruk tenguk telekong2 yg ada jual di sana. Sekarang ni trend telekong pakai french cotton... the very the nice... tapi agak nipis lah kain nya! So I decided to buy one (takut kempunan!) kat kedai Toko Laris :) Beli jugak 4 other telekongs yg kain dia tebal sket (kat kedai lain)... for my mom, MIL, Kak Eina (who's going for umrah end of next month, insyaAllah), and of coz... for yours truly- yg ni yg over nih... beli 3 kot!! kah kah! Ya iya laaa.... (slang Indon lah nih!), telekong nya enggak dibawa dari Malaysia.... pasti kena beli ya dongggg :) We jamak and qasar our dzuhur and asar at the Pasar Baru newly renovated Musollah (pakai telekong baru of cozzz! :D) and later ke Rumah Mode. Rumah Mode was as grand as I remembered. By the time sampai sini dah gelap... Maghrib time! Tapi kali ni tak banyak yg I can get laa.. ... dapat lah baju Izzat and seluar Izzaty kot.... for myself and hubby yellek! :( After Rumah Mode, kami ke Natural pulak (outlet kat sebelah Rumah Mode aje)... haaa... kat sini banyak dapat.. esp tshirts for hubby! Later ke Zennith... somewhere kat Jalan Setiabudi jugak lah.. near Rumah Mode tu.. tak ingat borong apa kat situ.. heheh. By the time we finished kat sini... dah malam and keletihan... so off to restoran padang pulak... Restaurant Simpang or something.. tak ingat... cuma ingat it's somewhere at Chimpales Road. Next.... balik hotel.... kemas barang, solat, zzzzz....

At Batik Ahmad... the salesgirl yg comel tu namanya Siska (ala2 muka Nora Danish je nampak.. cute giler Indon ni!!). When I commented that her name was like 'Bawang Merah', she answered 'Namanya aja... tapi hati serupa Bawang Putih'... cute! :D

2nd day. We left the hotel at 8am to go to Pasar Baru again (2nd time!). Kali ni jumpa pulak blouse yg dah siap with jahit sulaman which I like so much! Infact, on top of my 'must buy list' is kain sulaman yg macam tu utk buat baju! Tapi kalau ada baju yg dah siap... lagi okay! Jimat duit tempah baju ek? :) Kain dia kurang quality lah dari kain that I bought dulu... but still okay.. sebab MURAH!! :) Then temankan June beli kain lace for her nieces yg nak kawin tak lama lagi. While waiting... sempat lak beli tudung for my mom and MIL kedai hujung tu. We later went to kedai HORAS... borong kain batik serat nanas pulak!! :) Kelakar giler masa pilih memilih kain tu.... the girls and I had fun berebut2 kain idaman... kah kah! :) When we go further up kat Pasar Baru tu... jumpa lagi baju blouse yg bersulam tu.... this time better quality! and better design!! Apa lagi.. borong aaaa! Berebut2 ngan Tda! Luckily masa tu Tda and myself je yg ada... so tak la berebut with the other girls.. hik hik :) After solat at Pasar Baru... pegi makan kat Restoran Ikan Bakar Pak Che Met... yummy as per my previous visit. Glad the girls liked it too.. kalau tak sure kena kutuk sbb recommend tempat tak best! :P

Our menu at Pak Chi Met... package ikan + udang bakar... sundanese style.. yummy!

The famous 'frestea' :) Rasa cam green tea aje..

Anyway, after a good lunch, we went to kedai tempe... nak cari jeruk salak for Tda. Leka tenguk orang tu goreng tempe.... looks yummy... but no thanks... perut masih penuh after lunch kat Pak Che Met tadi :)

Tempe goreng anyone?

Macam2 tempe jual kat sini... :)

We later went to kedai Toko 3... where they sold original jeans (so we were told!). And true enough.. all kind of jeans are sold here... and nice!! :) I bought Levi's 502 (men's cut) for myself! :) Mind you... not for hubby tau!! hahaha! Tergoda tenguk orang lain beli... makcik pun nak jugakkk!! hehe. Lepas Toko 3, we all ke Heritage.... and Cascade... then Oasis, ForMen... dan outlet2 sekitar tu.... I had fun at ForMen and Oasis. Kat Heritage.. didn't get much (to my disspoinment!).. tapi bila kat Oasis dapat beli kodroi Versace you!! wow! :) Pakat four of us beli the black kodroi! :) Then beli bag (ni kes bag beranak la ni... barang belian dah terlebih beli!! uwaaa!!). The bag is nice.. I like!! branded lagi!! :) Kat ForMen also I got Versace shirts for myself and hubby :) Very, very nice!! I tell you! :) Dah penat kat situ... ke Secret dan Merdeka pulak... haha! gila sakan shopping! :) Balik around 10pm again! Kali ni... penuh bonet Pak Andang... like this..

3rd day, again... pagi2 lagi kami ke Pasar Baru (3rd time okay!). Kali ni last... hehe. And dah tau apa nak beli.... kerepek... and later I need to change the telekung I bought (nak cari yg neater sket workmanship dia..) and later terus ke kedai atas jual baju bersulam tu! Kali ni terpaksa berebut dengan June and Linda sekali... hahaha! :D Anyway by 10am.. we left Pasar Baru to Jalan Dago. Ni pun sakan gak sopping lagi nih!! We starts at Grandie and outlet2 selorong dengannya... tapi masuk kedai ketiga... June ajak ke Rumah Mode balik... ada benda tertinggal lah tu. So okay... "Pak Andang... bawa kami ke Rumah Mode lagi!!". Puas kat Rumah Mode... ke Natural lagi... and Rumah Mode Plus pulak.... then baru ke Jalan Dago again. Sakan gila shopping!! We ate lunch at Restauran Sederhana..a Padang Restaurant. This time... Tda managed to order her jus avocado' aka 'Jus Al Pukat'??? Looks so yummy... tapi bila minum everyone terkedu... mak oiii... pekatnyaaaa!!! Tak tetolan makcik doh!!! Tapi dah order kan.. so telan aje lah masing2... kah kah! Later.. bila sambung shopping... nampak Tda macam pucat semacam aje.... then dia muntah.... quite bad... kesian member.. hehe. Tendangan jus al puket may be?? hehehe.. sorry tda... bila ingat balik mmg kelakar kan?? ;) After a while, dia okay balik... and active bersopping again :) We decided to go to Toko 3 again. This time I called hubby to get his size and preference... belikan dia Levi's 501.. and one red tab levi's for myself (again!). Wow... rasanya this trip I bought 4 seluar!! Caya lah!! :)

4th day, last day nih... so we all dah plan nicely how to spent the last hour in Bandung. Pagi2 lagi cik linda dah call Pak Andang minta tolong beli bag china tu kat Pasar Baru.... lagi beranak bag!! hahaha. Then Pak Andang sampai around 9am... we all ke Oasis... Tda nak beli another kodroi (different colour pulak)... and to ForMen... nak beli Versace shirts lagi! :) Then kami pakat nak lunch kat Kampung Daun. Wow... this place is so nice! Very cozy :) I like!! :) Here's some pic of the girls kat Restoran Kampung Daun...

Our menu at Restoran Daun - 'Nasi komplit' - Sundanese Style... yummy!

We all makan sakan kat sini... memang dah plan.. since dah habiskan our IND rupiah.. cuma tinggal some to bayar airport taxes and exceed baguage... we wanted to pay this lunch using my credit card. Tapi bila sampai kat kaunter bayaran tu... I was told 'line off'... some more... RM not accepted!! I was like "WHAT??? how on earth are we gonna pay?? Nasi dalam perut dah jadi t*ik!!!" Panic siut!!! The other girls pulak sume ke toilet and I was left alone with the counter girl for a while. Then later.. when the girls came... baru la I managed to think... kumpulkan balance2 rupiah yg we all ada... sib baik cukup you!! Phew!!! Kalau tak... mmg tak boleh bayangkan nak pinjam pulak duit Pak Andang... or may be kena tinggal basuh pinggan?? and tertinggal our flight... uwaaaa!!!! :P Memang tak leh lupa lah peristiwa pahit nih!!! :P

Anyway, kat airport... setelah beratur lama... we found out berat bag kami terlebih 40kg!! Siut betul!! hahahaha! June champion among all.... followed by Linda, and yours truly (what?? how can?? ni sure sebab bag aku berat... mana logic tda nya bag lagi ringan dari aku!!).. and lastly Tda. Terpaksa lah bayar all those in RM.... rupiah nya sudah abis kat restoran tadi laa.... :P

Alhamdulillah.... we all akhirnya selamat sampai ke Malaysia..... :) We really had fun!! Nak pegi lagi sama2... of coz.. :) InsyaAllah... kalau diizin Allah s.w.t :)
