Bandung - Day 2

Our day continue with shopping again....

We wake up as early as 6am in order to get ready to serang
the factory outlet again.
Rumah Mode...here we are..

We were there 10mins before the door open. There were also
a few other groups who have reached there much earlier than
us. The place will get very very crowded if you come a bit late.
Rumah Mode is one of the famous factory outlet in Bandung.
It's a huge bungalow converted to a factory outlet and they have
cafe selling all kinds of local food. So for those who have finished
their shopping, they can sit in the cafe while waiting for the others.
I didn't spend so much here coz the price is slightly higher than
other factory outlets which I can get something similar or nicer.
Ada la beli sikit2... We were there for almost half a day..
After shopping, we packed the snacks from the cafe as we
didn't want to waste time.

Then terus proceed to the next outlets : Secret, Heritage,
Cascade & Summit which is located along Jalan Dago.
I managed to find a lot of things that I wanted from Secret.
Dapatla a few pairs of jeans and some casual and office blouses.
Puas hati!! Cascade has a lot of nice dresses for girls so I grab
a few nice one for my two little girls.
So the whole day is really a good therapy for us...
The day ended up with a nice dinner again at the Sundanese
Restaurant called Karamba. We ordered a set menu again
and the food is excellent even it looks very simple. The aroma
from the rice which enhance the taste really make us wanted to
go for 2nd helping tapi malangnya nasi dah habis... We've been
told that they added some herbs and spices when cooking the
rice. That's why la sedap banget... Before we left place, the
waiter promoted their cookies which is one of their speciality.
It taste like "Kuih Bangkit" .. and it melts in your mouth.
So each of us bought 2 packs. ..a good sale for them !!!
Before going back to the hotel, Pak Zul drove us through
Paris Van Java to see how does the place looks like.
It's a huge shopping mall with a lots of cafe (looks like the
cafes at BintangWalk in KL).

We reached our hotel at 10pm and again we compared
each others shopping and terus pack in the luggage so that
we can agak2 how much more space we have for the final day
after shopping at Rumah Mode..very nice landscape..
Tahu Gejrot
Surabi (glutinous rice with choc filling and
sprinkle of cheese)
Sausage at Rumah Sosis next to The Secret..
Damn good!!!
They also sell frozen sausage for you to bring home
Heritage ( mid market brand )
Cascade ( up market brand )
Liwet Komplit Set... the rice taste
damn bloody good!!!
Some of the items on menu card
Cookies (taste like Kuih Bangkit)... recommended!!

Bandung - Day 1

I've been busy like a bee since I came back from my retail
therapy trip in Bandung. Cant even find time to write about
this exciting trip.. I left all the barang2 in the guest room and
finally, yesterday I managed to find time to keep all the stuff
and snap some pictures to share with everyone.

The "Rombongan Cik Kiah" arrived Bandung on Saturday,
25July at 10.30am local time. There are 6 of us in this trip.
We hired a van from the local agent and it costs us 400000 rupiah
(approx RM140) per day incl driver, petrol & parking. After c/in,
we didn't want to waste our time.. so terus ambush the Factory
Outlets in Jalan Dago. I was so excited until terlupa to take picture
but I could still remember the name - Grande, Blossom, DSA &
Happenings/Rich & Famous. These are the FOs we attacked on
the first day. The best part is baru first day shopping, our luggage
was almost half full. Everything looks very nice and cheap if
to compare with the original price. We finished our shopping
almost around 8.30pm until everyone were too tired sampai
dah tak ada energy nak jalan. Macam mana tak ada energy...
we had heavy breakfast just because nak skip lunch so that we
can have more time to do shopping.. Itu dia Cik Timah ...
when comes to shopping, makan pun boleh tolak tepi dulu..

We had dinner at Pak Chi Met Ikan Bakar in Sukajadi. Very nice
and cosy restaurant. All of us ordered the Ikan Bakar Gurami set
(Ikan Talapia). Since we have been starving ourselves for the
whole day, so habis the whole set sapu licin... The food was
exceptionally good especially the Ayam Penyet.
So the first day of our retail therapy session ended with this
lovely dinner and sampai hotel all of us sibuk checking each
others shopping.
What a relief and kind of wonderful feeling of having to do shopping for the whole day.. hahaha...

To all ladies out there I bet you guys have the same feeling when comes to shopping !!
