A Lovely Afternoon at Sierra Cafe

We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone – Orson Welles

***

Yes, this was last year. It was November, and the rain never stop pouring here in Bandung. We were lucky the weather was so clear that day, so we decided to head over Sierra Cafe to spend our afternoon together. 

We went there on a recommendation of a friend. It turned out to be as good as what I expected. It was 4 pm, and there were no customers yet.Lanjutkan membaca “A Lovely Afternoon at Sierra Cafe”

Our Lovely Late Valentine’s Dinner at Nanny’s Pavillon

Last month, our so-called valentine’s dinner was featured in Nanny’s Pavillon, Bandung. I’ve heard so much about this place, but never got a chance to visit it even once. I mean, I could have. But since I heard so many good things about this place, I just want my first visit to be special. And then Fred came by (he lives in Depok) and we decided to take a try.

I’m glad we did! This place is totally great. At least for us. Lanjutkan membaca “Our Lovely Late Valentine’s Dinner at Nanny’s Pavillon”

Hummingbird Eatery & Guest House

Oh well, here comes another rainy day. I love the fact that the rain never stop pouring in November. And I got even more excited when I found out that the rain never stops in December as well. But you know, weather does, in fact, affect your appetite. I mean my appetite.. People living in cold climates tend to burn more calories each day just to keep their body warm. At least that’s what I read from the internet. So I guess that’s why I’m gaining some weight these days.

… Hey, I’m just trying to made up a pretty-reasonable story why I got this fat big ugly belly.

So, to fulfill my appetite, my sisters and I decided to take a coffee time at Hummingbird Eatery, one of everyone’s favorite cafe in Jalan Progo, Bandung, Indonesia. This place can be easily recognized from its ‘bird’ theme. And you know what? Hummingbird does have a huge bird nest that covers the outdoor seats! How cute is that?Lanjutkan membaca “Hummingbird Eatery & Guest House”

Madame Sari, a local traditional Restaurant in Bandung Indonesia

Speaking of culinary, most people here in Indonesia know that Bandung is one of the favorite city in West Java where you can hang out, shop, and have a good food with a reasonable price. A friend of mine has been asking her friends, who have been living in Bandung for years, about the favorite local restaurant where they usually have a nice lunch or dinner with their family. A place where you can sit for a long time and have a nice long chat without even being disturbed. Turned out that Madame Sari restaurant is one of the places they suggested.Lanjutkan membaca “Madame Sari, a local traditional Restaurant in Bandung Indonesia”

Kopi Scooter, Bandung Indonesia

It was raining heavily outside & I stayed all day at home waiting for the rain to stop. I love watching the rain pouring down. It feels so peaceful & calm. Sitting beside the window while enjoying my hot coffee will always be my favorite thing to do when it’s raining outside. I don’t know why but something about ‘watching the rain fall’ & ‘listening to the drip drop thing‘ makes me feel so powerful & refreshed. I personally love t.Lanjutkan membaca “Kopi Scooter, Bandung Indonesia”

The Stone Cafe, Bandung

Well, I was here because I was sooo bored & tired, and I thought this place might give me a nice short break during my hectic week. You know, that moment when you’ve been doing your college assignments all day but you got stuck and stressed? That’s what I felt that day. So I thought, “Maybe I should go to a restaurant or a cafe? Just me and my laptop, so I’ll be able to focus better on doing my assignment. Right! I’m going to a cafe in the mountain hill!”Lanjutkan membaca “The Stone Cafe, Bandung”

De Ranch, Lembang, Indonesia

In October 2012, my friend and I went to a local ranch located in Lembang, Indonesia. It was approximately 1 hour car-driving from Bandung.

What makes me so excited is that this is actually my first time going to a ranch! And what do you think of when you heard the term ‘ranch’? A horse, of course! I was like : “Yaaay I’m going to ride a horse! A real horse!”. To tell the truth, I’ve never ridden a horse before. I rode an elephant before in Pattaya, Thailand, but, you know, elephant walks so damn slowly and I knew it from the beginning that riding a horse might be completely different. Well, may be not when you’re accompanied by the ‘horse man’. They will make sure we ride our horse safely.Lanjutkan membaca “De Ranch, Lembang, Indonesia”
