J.CO Donuts

Donut is not my favorite. But yesterday Patricia persuaded me with her “it’ll melt in your mouth!” slogan to try donuts at J.CO. It was a hot day, and I thought it was a good time to try. We went to Ciwalk and visited J.CO located at the first floor. We ordered two coffee lattes and two donuts. And I understood what “melting in your mouth” means mentioned by Patricia. But still, do I like it? The donut was too easy, if you know what I mean. I prefer the donut prepared by chef at PT Badak LNG – Bontang, East Kalimantan.

Batagor Street Seller

Baso tahu goreng (batagor) is a Bandung traditional food, consists of fried shrimped tofus, siomay, a special food made of starch flour with fish/shrimp. To prepare this food is by cutting all these fried objects into three/four small pieces, then pour with hot peanut sauce on top of it. Add some sweet soy sauce, and a bit kefir lemon. You can find street sellers vending this food every where in Bandung. They normally use a special box just like what you see in the picture above.

Bandung Food Festival

On 27 of June, a Bandung Food Festival was held in Cihampelas Walk. A huge varieties of traditional Sundanese foods were shown in this event. In one corner, there were a mount of candies and sweet snacks which can be tried freely. In this event, some traditional dances were performed on the stage installed in the middle of Ciwalk's garden. I will post the picture of dance performance after July theme day. The day after, on 28 June, a larger food festival was carried out at Gasibu, in the front of Gedung Sate. It's practically a national food festival since you could find all Indonesian traditional foods in this event.

Duck'n Duck King Group

Suddenly, Patricia and I just choosed duck as our dinner. I don't know how it just came to our mind. Duck! Hmm...
We then came to Parijs van Java, our favorite place for this kind of matter, spending time. We knew that there're some places that we could choose there, at Parijs van Java. We sit at Duck King Group Chinese restaurant, not only because it's the only restaurant that serves duck in this place, but also it has an excellent environment for having dinner.
All dishes we ordered that night, mixed barbeque, eggplant with salty fish, and shrimps with garlic sauce, were surprisingly deliciouussss....!
