A great restaurant in Bandung hills - Sapu Lidi


Sapu Lidi - Eat on Rice Paddy Field!

Real cool, I wanted to come back after the first time... My regret: I wished I had been able to go on a little paddle tour on the lake... next time (ok... it may be a small lake...). The ambiance is cool. The food is very decent.

Cool Angklung performance in Bandung

The entrance price is not cheap but the show is worth it - especially the interactive part with angklung. I loved it. This year (2009) it was more interactive than 2 years ago.

(the website was not performing very well last time I browsed it - 2hrs ago.)

A huge new Friday-night hit among Singapore’s three Ms (models, media types and the moneyed), restaurant-cum-bar Mimolette is tucked within the Turf Club off Bukit Timah (not far from Sixth Avenue). The colonial-house venue and its tropical-greenery surrounds make for an exotic and exclusive setting – though one can’t help feeling for the stabled horses nearby; the late-night outdoor disco’s pounding R&B numbers must interfere with their sleep. Visit the restaurant for brunch, lunch or dinner, and expect New American-meets-French fare. Executive chef Kelvin Lee has an impressive CV with stints at 3-star Michelin restaurants in France and top regional establishments, though initial reports from disgruntled diners to TOS staffers have pointed to cuisine being ‘overpriced and ordinary’.

Bandung, Resaurant "Dapur Sangkuriang"

It looks like a place for tourists (which it is anyway) but the outdoors section is cool, with many stilt huts arranged around a few koi pounds. Each hut can "sit" 4 to 6 persons. Except that you won't be sitting on chairs but on the hut flooring (like a matt). Food was good even to the standard of my Indonesian family ;-)

Kampung Daun, Bandung

http://kampungdaun.net/

Deep in the hills of north Bandung, there was a remote tropical forest, thick with bamboo groves and plants and trees of every variety. It was a dark forbidding place where the villagers were afraid to visit.
But, there was water there, supplied by a beautiful waterfall.
