our driver, paid him RM175 per pax for 2 full days of driving us around to outlet stores, supermarket etc include lunch and dinner (totaled 8 of us RM175 * 8 = RM1400) He came pick us around 8am and we back to hotel about 9pm/10pm for 2 days, nice and comfortable seats, only peeve is hard to get to the last row for those sitting behind

gift from our driver: layer cake, just ok, slightly dry

buying local snacks, mostly fried (fried banana, tempe, peanuts etc)

Visit to Toko 3 selling jeans at reasonable price (Levi’s is around RM100-200) Above is just a fake mannequin

Free length altering for jeans

Our first lunch: nasi padang in Mitra Sederhana Pasteur, this shop has many branches in Bandung. The dishes are appetizing and nice, except 2 items: the beef tendon are not probably braised and still very tough and beefy smell, one vege which probably just blanched with no taste and raw smell

Avocado milk with chocolate, not that nice, milky taste

Mitra Sederhana Pasteur in Jalan Pelajar Pejuang 45, No.64

Nice snacks outside a supermarket we visited: Srabi Notosuman Polos, coconuty snack

Free dinner included: Stone Cafe

Great view and cooling weather

dining room

Food included in our tour package: nasi penyet (menu price for this is about RM20 for each set containing rice, chicken, a small bowl of sweet sour soup which is too sweet for a soup supposedly should be savoury) Nice chicken dish though

Nice, rice is container in the banana leaf dome

complimentary fruits

Visit to a mall: Champelas Walk, they are many local shops around this area as well, but we opt to go lunch earlier instead :S Only realised many shops around when the driver driving us to our lunch destination

In supermarket: their kraft cheese are not refrigerated!

Best meal in this trip: the fried tofu is surprisingly very nice, crispy outside, but soft inside, the other dishes are very appetising as well when eaten with hot fluffy white rice

Shop Name: Kedai Belacan indonesian cuisine: Jalan Halmahera No.4 Bandung, West Java, Indonesia

Another shopping mall: Trans Studio

Avocado produced locally

Dinner to same nasi padang shop, but another branch. The dishes is nothing special now since we had it the day before, and the dishes are cold and probably better to dine in this shop for lunch time, the rice felt cold and slightly hard as well

Pisang keju, fried banana topped with grated cheese, yummy, IDR12,000 (almost RM4)

closed up

yummy, sweet and salty with firm banana flesh

nasi padang available in Air Asia Indonesia

beef, vegetables, fried anchovies with white nice, very nice and homey

Nasi Palembang

flavoured rice with beef stew, the beef is very sweet, not nice

chicken rice

wanted to have other dishes, but this is the only dish leftover, just ok

AirAsiaIndonesia

KartikaSari, bought it in airport

banana bread, hot out of oven when bought, can be kept for less than 1 week. IDR40,000, about RM11, taste just ok

Overall, i find the clothing in Bandung is not very cheap, just reasonable price, total expense (roughly):

Air ticket (all inclusive of meals, baggage etc): RM240

2 days tour (van transport + lunch + dinner): RM175

Hotel (3 nights per pax for sharing room): RM220

Spending money: RM500

Total ~ RM1100

Recipe: (adapted from Annabelle White)

2 oranges (boiled for 90 minutes, cooled, deseeded and blended) original recipe is 1.5 oranges

5 eggs

150 sugar (reduced, normally flourless orange cake use 1 cup of sugar which is about 220g sugar)

300g ground almond (originally recipe is 250g, due to my almond meal is coarser, i increased it to 300g)

1 teaspoon baking powder

Boiled the orange for 90 minutes changing the water 2 times, to remove the bitterness of orange

blend the boiled oranges

blended

Beat the egg for 1 of 2 minutes, add in orange puree and blend it again

Mix almond meal with baking powder together

egg mixed with blended orange

mix in all the ground almond

Pour into a greased and baking paper lined bottom springform pan

level it slightly

done

Overall, the taste and aroma is good with strong citrusy smell and almond aroma, but it is slightly too wet, perhaps due to me using “leftover” ground almond which are of coarser texture (finer texture was used to make macaron). Next time will use finer almond.

I did make this cake the 2nd time using fine ground almond, and up it to 320g as well (since original recipe state to use 1.5 orange, and i am now using 2 oranges, so it will probably be alright to up the ground almond A BIT 😉 hoping to have a less wet cake. And the 2nd time turn out ok, without the slight wetness.

NOTE: did tried to bake it at later time using more ground almond, and finer ones, ie 320g fine ground almond (with 2 boiled oranges weigh 325g before pureed), it did turn out less wet.

All Day Breakfast menu

Lunch and dinner menu

Nutmeg Gravlax “Croissant-wich” – smoked paprika Gravlax topped with scrambled eggs, toasted croissant. RM26, not bad, can try

Salt beef and Cabbage, RM25, ok, first try of salt beef, served with boiled new potato and pickle

Dessert in The Daily Grind across the road

Old Fashioned Waffles with fresh cream, stawberry, ice cream & syrup, RM18, looks good, but it is far from it, the cream and strawberries are ok, problem is with the slightly stale, not-freshly-made waffle
