ABOUT BANDUNG : Hipster Cafe + Culinary + Shopping + Family Getaway
7:41:00 AM
Two hours driving from Jakarta, Bandung is becoming a popular destination to escape from a busy capital city. My friend who works in Jakarta told me that he visits Bandung once in a month, because he thinks Bandung can offer the relaxation and a chill feeling. I’ve visited Bandung a couple of times since i grew up in Jakarta. As a capital city of West Java, Bandung now becomes more and more develop. The new government is successfully managing Bandung as an attractive city and being so friendly for young people and family. Let’s see what Bandung can offer :
ARMOR KOPI AS THE HIPSTER CAFÉ
Bandung has so many kind of hipster cafes. Some of cafes are managed and founded by creative young people. Yes, Bandung is also listed as a creative city in Indonesia, this is naturally happened because there is one of the best universities of Indonesia located in Bandung. It calls Bandung Institute of Engineering, even though the name sounds like it specifically for engineering, it also famous with its faculty of art.
Cireng, the most famous Bandung meals ! |
Woke up early morning and heading to a beautiful coffee shop located in the middle of the pine trees. It just felt so amazing having my first glass of coffee, Fried Banana and Cireng (a traditional Bandung meals made of flour and deep fried) in the middle of natural pine trees. This is definitely how those Bandungnese start the day. Armor Kopi is located in TAHURA (a nick name of natural park). There are plenty of coffee shops you can find here.
BANDUNG CULINARY
Bandung also usually been chosen as the culinary destination as it has such a very unique traditional delicious foods ! Let’s start from my favorite :
Durian Ice Cream (USD 1)
I have to admit everything about durian will always be my favorite ! haha Sorry for the selfish opinion, but seriously guys, if you are fan of durian, you should put this one as the number one list. Durian Ice cream usually served in a plastic glass and it contents of durian ice cream and some real durian fruits. You can easily find this ice cream in food stalls.
Batagor (USD 1)
A plate of Batagor contents of deep fried flour mixed with fish, fried tofu, and peanut sauce. Easy to find as this one also Bandung special culinary menu !

Bakso Cuanki (USD 1,5)
As Bandung is located in highland area, the weather here is so perfect around 15-20 celcius degree during day time, even colder at the night. That’s why a bowl of soup also become a favorite meal. Bakso Cuanki is made of Meatballs, tofu and boiled flour mixed fish served with a hot tasty soup. This was recommended by my Bandung Friend Aris (click his name to see his page). The store is located at Jalan serayu No 2, Cihapit, Bandung.
