|DAY 2|



Our day starts early say about 9 am. 1st spot was Pasar Baru and it was well known for ke-macet-an nyer.. Smack right in the middle of Kota Bandung so mmg kene gerak awal else we will caught in the traffic jam for how many hours no one can ever expected. Actually Pasar Baru was just few block down our hotel row. Say about 10 min travelling by car hahhaa .. X sempat nk adjust my lazy bum, dah pun sampai...

This place is basically most favorite spot for peniaga peniaga telekung, baju kebaya sulam kat malaysia. U can get really good price here if u buying in bulk and provided u're good at bargaining.

Sufficed to say, not my fav place to be. I dun really like it here, specially when I'm travelling wth 2 kids. It's hot. Not to say it was "that" hot. It was surely equipped with airconds and escalators but it was too congested. Pertama Complex type of place and pertama was considered spacey. Furthermore, there's sellers that keep "approaching" us selling keychains, drinking waters every 5 min and it scared Erin and Alis a lot coz they kindoff being a bit pushy u see. Not to mentioned, the beggars .. Pity them but lesson learned during my 1st time here way back then, u give one, 10 will come chasing after u...so either u prepare ur purse for the "attack" or do not entertain at all..Say NO to them politely. They're mencarik rezeki halal after all. One value I adored in Bandung local peoples, they work hard to earn every penny. Teenagers can be seen everywhere playing music instruments or singing or selling. Like it or not this is life. It's hard for some. It ain't pretty but it is life and it does mencetus keinsafan dalam diri. Iskkk..


-waiting for our driver-


-camwhore dgn kawan baru, cik tubbies-


-erin 24/7 without failed kendong bantal busuk, tempat asing kan, somehow de feel secure ade bantal busuk kot haha, sense of belonging orang kampung aku cakap -

We spent almost 1/2 day kat sini.. Antara yang di beli of course telekung utk kegunaan sendiri, telekung for alis and erin..super cute ade sulam apple lagi.. and souvenirs .. few baju kebaya sulam, kain lace.. kain ela like cotton, viscose mmg murah jugak tapi ntah kenapa bile dh banyak2 tu x terbeli pulak.. hahah u know the feeling when u surrounded with so many same things, just by looking at it u feel like puking... Somemore Alis and Erin was cranky here. Cranky big time. Maybe sebab x selesa..too manye people...panas.. macam macam la..so I sms-ed Kak Ema and asked her to get driver ready as we coming down already..




-assalamualaikum warah matullah-


-susah tul nk amik still pic pompuan ni taw, gamba minah kecik pakai telekung tp background pendedahan betis terlampau..haha abaikan background, fokus pada erin sahaja-



Immediately told Kak Ema we're ready to have our lunch. I changed alis and erin's clothes on the way, dh berpeluh2 sure derang x selesa.. Our lunch today was @ Rumah Makan Melayu. Sangat kene with my father punye taste. De tekak org melayu sejati hahah..So de agak gumbira la...siap jumpa tokey bg thumbs up.. Ke sebab tokey kedai tu gorgeous ?? kah kah kah... Trus rasa nk balik kunyah jamu masa breakfast , lunch , dinner... Since nama rumah makan melayu, so all the waiters and waitresses pakai bj melayu and bj kurung. Siap sampin.. Hebat !

We had Sambal udang petai, lemak singkong(daun pucuk ibu), begedil,ayam rendang, udang goreng for kids, lemak telor, sambal ijo and sambal belacan & ulam ulaman.. Enak banget.. I can see that this place also a fav spot for Pejabat (government people) to had lunch. Mmg pack during lunch.


-Rumah Makan Melayu-




-pic was self explanatory-


-nungguin kasir -


-starting from this pic, role of photographer officially took over by Erin. Nk sentuh pun x boley. Berdasarkan spesifikasi ketinggian fotographer, maka gamba yang terhasil adelah gamba lantai, like thousand of those, perut atuk, kaki mummy, pintu, siling, sampin waiter, kaki meja dan yang sewaktu dengan nye.-


-"Hang" ape ek cik abang ni.. lupe nk tanye, tp de femes la .Sume nk bergamba ngn de hehhe, ganteng kannn!! -


-motif bergamba cenggini? now i know where alis got the camwhore traits-

Gamba food lupe nk amik sebab lapar sangat. Next agenda after lunch, more and more factory outlet. Say no more. We went to Heritage ( not impressive,collections der x wow), Summit (almost the same like heritage),Raffles City FO , House of Donatello ( shoes heaven but not up to my liking, more mak datin's wannabe stuff), The Secret again ( my mum nk exchange baju), Kartikasari ( lapis legit and candies ), Amanda (the famous brownies kukus), Uptown FO and more. Sedar tak sedar dah dekat maghrib so balik hotel to get ready for dinner.

There's some FO not worth going though so my 2 cent advice to those going to bandung in future, listed out those recommended FO(Google it!) and tell ur tour-guide, else inform ur tour guide what kind of FO u wish to go. Midde class , low range budget or high class FO or u might ended up wasting time hopping here and there and checkout with nothing but empty hands. Especially when u're travelling with picky shoppers (read: Acu)Me in other hand, did my listing but i left it at home...hahah so another 2 cents from me.. Make a list and do not forget to bring it :)..

Overall... presenting hasil memancing on that day..





I also bought 1 Hugo sports beg spacey enough for a day travel for 200 000 rupiah, worth purchasing ! Alis and Erin got toys of their choices, Alis Barbie Pergasus set ngn kudo sekor.. Erin teletubbies merah nama Poo itu.. My hubby wish list was leather jacket but I didn't buy for him coz the one I saw was too pricey yet too simple.. Takut de x kenan nanti.

Next , last dinner in Bandung...
