Now, let's talk about everyone's fave topic : food! Where are the nice places to eat and what local delicacies you must try at Bandung? Let's follow me...
We had our first dinner at Lisung Cafe & restaurant at The Valley...yes, it's on top of a hill. Actually, there are many other restaurants and cafe to choose from at the hill. Here, you can get magnificent view of Bandung city at night. The cafe is an open concept and you'll be enjoying your meal with cool breeze blowing on your face and the sparkling lights scenery of the city......

According to our tourist guide, people like to eat here not because of the food, but to savour the beautiful scenery :) We ate Nasi Liwet. For me, the food is good. Quite sumptuous for 2 person...coconut rice, ayam kampung, tauhu, crackers, salted fish, fresh ulam-ulam & salad...hmm kenyang! We also had 'Tofu Soup' for Aliya. Guess how much all these plus 3 drinks? Only Rp175,000 (around RM58).
On the second day, we had lunch at Kampung Daun Culture Gallery & Cafe. Definitely the most beautiful restaurant I've been so far! Here, you eat in the nature in nicely built huts....it's so refreshing and calming with all the green trees and clean, fresh mountain air.
Let's enjoy the great scenery here....

The price? All these plus Soto Betawi with 2 more drinks for only RM60 :-)
The second night in Bandung we ate at a restaurant near our hotel....Restoran Sangkuriang. On the outside, the restaurant might looked simple, but inside....it's a bit similar like Kampung Daun as you can choose to eat in the huts....more privacy :)

The food was marvelous! We had Sup Buntut (called sup ekor in Malaysia), kangkung hotplate and ikan gerume bakar....The ikan bakar was very nice!
We also managed to try Nasi Padang Minang....Bandung style, at Simpang Raya Restaurant..
Mouth watering, rite? Too many dishes? Hihi....the waiter will place all the dishes on your table and you choose which one you want to eat. You only pay for what you ate :) We had daging dendeng, ayam pop, begedil, sambal, ulam-ulaman and curry vegetable. We spent about RM30 here.

The last dish we try at Bandung was Mi Jawa. It is the first time I ate it and I love it! The taste is not like other type of mee dishes we have in Malaysia. This is a must try dish! Actually, mi jawa originate from Jakarta, not Bandung.
They cooked with charcoal! Really old fashioned....not using gas hub like we normally do. Maybe that's what makes it taste so good and different? Hehehe.....

There you go....some of the restaurants I was able to go to during 4 days in Bandung.Generally, the food are cheaper compared to the food in Malaysia and the vegetables are really fresh! The food is quite similar, just with slight different taste.
