Jakarta/Bandung - Part 1

These are some of the photos that i managed to edit.. So far, this is the most enjoyable trip i ever had in Indonesia.. Me and ana arrived 1 day earlier in Jakarta and guest where we stayed.. MG Hotel in Mangga Besar.. URGHHH!! wrong desicion.. Had to go through a dark lane.. (Nobody knows about this)
We were so scared even to sleep that night. However, both of us did went out to find another hotel for the rest of the geng (4 of them).. Along the street hawkers selling food and the best of all they also sells .. kodok goreng, biawak goreng, darah ular, daging ular cobra (sapa2 nak kuatkan tenaga boleh datang sini) and other exotic animals and even sate babi.. huaahh.. gelinya.. cam nak nangis malam tu.. Conclusion, people in mangga besar mostly are chinese.. I had speghetti that night but no for ana.. she saw an animal been slaughted at one of the gerai.. nasib tak nampak.. kalau tak kurus lah badan..

The next morning, we move out to a new and BETTER hotel.. legaaa.. went to pasar senin while waiting for the rest to arrive in jakarta.. Plan goes wrong, Airasia got delayed, so kak zah and ita arrived in bandara around 12 o'clock.. Kak ina and abg pozi took MAS and they had to wait for almost 2 hours for kak zah and ita at bandara.. Kak ita do make many friends with the taxi driver hehe.. They went straight to Tanah Abang from bandara and plan to meet us around 3 at the hotel and goes to Mangga Dua for another 'shopping trip'. However, they got stuck at Tanah Abang (shopping sakan) and meet us at the hotel around 5 o'clock instead..

At night, we met with rendy our tour guide and had dinner at padang restaurant.. oklah, asal kenyang udah... then we went sight seing around jakarta and stop by at Monas Monument. Ambil gambar sakan noo...

The next day, we drove to Bandung via Puncak.. Puncak is a nice place to visit.. macam cameron highland, attraction dia adalah masjid di atas puncak bukit, tea plantation, sky diving (kena pergi sekali lagi) dan fresh vege and fruits.. Kak zah kepingin nak beli potato kat sana tapi tak kesampaian..

Arrived in Bandung earlier than we thought semua thanks to the F1 driver.. hehehe.. jangan mare ye rendy nanti kena jual.. Semua pakat mengucap.. remarks from abg pozi "hati-hati bawak, kat dalam ni ada yang ada anak menanti di rumah.. ada yang tak kahwin lagi nih.." hehehe.. sadis tu... we went shopping at Mode factory outlet.. gilaz.. gilaz.. kalau bawak banyak duit.. separuh keta penuh nie... after that, we were taken to the guest house (boleh buat cam rumah sendiri tuu..), lepas rehat jap kami keluar makan ke Roemah Nenek.. gambar tak masuk lee, ada dalam camera lain.. di entertain lagi dengan lagu sheila majid di sana.. huish.. glamour kami.. Balik, semua orang dah cape banget.. letak aje kepala ke bantal semua ke dreamland..

The next morning, had breakfast made by ibu indra.. tahu isi goreng and tahu goreng.. habis sepinggan tu.. after that we were taken to cibaduyut tempatnya barangan kulit.. the only thing that i wanted to buy in cibaduyut is 'singkong keju'. Unfortunately, the gerai is no more there.. rasanya dah kena halau.. frust betul.. tempat lain singkong kejunya tak sama cam di sini.. next we went to pasar baru.. shopping,shopping and shopping.. cape de... memang tak larat ke sana.. kaki sampai naik kematu deh.. having lunch at pasar baru food court.. makan nasik rames, sambal terasi memang sedap.. but i only had nasi goreng kambing.. that's my favourite since in jakarta.. After lunch, the kakaks continue shopping, but no more for me.. surrender dek loh.. On the way back to the house we stop at Cihemplas factory outlet.. they have heroes character in front of their shop.. very creative..

That night we had dinner at stone cafe in dago.. very nice place and exclusive.. really had fun there.. kak ina, you cheer us all with your humour..

So here is the 1st part of my trip to Jakarta and Bandung.. will be back with more photos of me and ana in yogjakarta...

Thanks to kak ina, memeriahkan suasana macam hari raya... Abang pozi thanks jadi teman melayan dalam mobil.. kitakan orang 'terbelakang' hehe.. Kak zah and ita, enjoy tak trip ni.. please comment jika ada rasa tak puashati, boleh kita perbaiki lagi. Mana tahu ada trip lain lagi ke sana.. Rendy our tour guide cum driver (:)) cum adik had given a 1st class service and entertainment.. ibu indra, thanks for your hospitality and the food (breakfast) are excellent.. tip top condition.. Although this ain't my 1st time to Bandung or even Indonesia, but this trip has made me plan for another incredible tour to indonesia..
