Jakarta - Day 5



Reach Jakarta dah tengahari, straight to Tanah Abang - Jakarta version of Bandung Pasar baru.. but this area kedai2 dia tutup awal, 4.30pm dah berbusy semua kedai tutup & pekerja2 dia balik..kat sini byk bukan local people, U bleh jumpa Indian, Chinese , but semuanya cakap indon okay..
kat Jakarta takde " van - angkutan", tapi dia ada Bajaj.. very famous public transport , motor yg dah dimodified, leh naik bertiga campur driver dia.. memang cepatlah naik Bajaj ni.. very the laju..
I'm sure siapa yg dtg Jakarta mesti naik Bajaj ni kan..

Ni org2 berniaga kat tepi2 jalan kat Pasar tuh, but sorry , sepanjang kat Indon nih, I tak beli lansung mkanan kat tepi2 jalan, for hygiene purposes k.. sebab dia kan a bit kotor jalan2 dia, and berdebu..

Sekali pandang mcm Datuk K plak wak ni.. this type of food cart - you can find everywhere, kat Bandung or even Jakarta.. selling macam2 food...drinks.. etc.. plg famous jual Bakso.. bersepah sepah..
My dear ni memang suke giler dia nak amik gambar ngan Bajaj nih...

After left Tanah Abang, we went to Batavia Aaprtment , the place we r going to stay pai the last day.. walaupun dekat jer ngan Tanah Abang nih, tapi memandangkan Macetnya Jakarta nih.. jauhlah jadinya..



Hah.. this is ahlf of all the girls & ladies sementara menunggu our luggage , begs & etc...

Yg my mak mentua , auntie , and SIL ada lagi dok angkut beg.. we all ni dah letih..





We went out for Dinner at Garuda jln Sabang dekat jer..

By ths time we r not wth Coaster anymore.. tapi with two vans.. our Guide Pak Pree departed just after send us kat Batavia.. sedih gak as he was nice to us.. same with the driver & another guy , i.e Pak Pree's assistant...





Good dinner kat Garuda.. food dia more to Malayisn food, adalah sambal petai - yg betul2 pedas sket.. and the best thing.. ada Teh Tarik... omg.. cam ketagih dadah jer tgok teh tarik... dah berhari asyik teh botol Sosro jer..
Lepas Dinner half of the Group nak gi HRC.. biasalah , my autie , mak mentua and my SIL , semua tak berapa nak ikut.. letih lah..


So we went to Plaza Indonesia.. Jakarta's HRC besar lah dari KL, plus dia 2 tingkat..

We bump into Shanty & Marcel.. tapi tak adalah aku jakun nak amik gambar ke apa.. lainlah kalau Ahmad Dhani ker.. chewah.. Cam biasa my anak2 buah semua nak beli brg HRC.. i bought t-shirt lah.. since I'm collector's of HRC t-shirt.. tu pun sebab selalu org bagi, ni first time my dear beli, tu pun dia bising..



Ni kat depan HRC shop.. kat Plaza Indonesia gak kitorang borong semua CD2 group2 Indon.. sebabnya, bapaklah murah CD kat sini , plg mahal pun RM10..patutlah artis dia leh cari makan..International Artiste pun tak semahal kat KL k..


Ada gak lah CD Raihan & CT tapi sekeping dua jelah.. tu pun ceruk2 jer..

Left HRC, I balik Batavia, sgt2 letih..and Zzzzzzzzz... Jakarta.. panas lah mlm2..

I miss Bandung..

Puncak to Jakarta - Day 5

Woke up & felt very2 good... this is the view from the Villa..
Last nite we had our dinner inside the Villa, cam biasa the caretaker of the Villa will cook for us.. memang best sejuk2 makan hot food, plus the food not so Indonesian food sangat..


This is the villa.. memang besarlah dan sgt dijaga cantik oleh the Care taker.. tak taulah siapa owner dia.. all deal was done by my dear's bro's fren kat sini..



One last kiss before we left for Jakarta..

Ada swimming pool , tapi sejuk giler, siapa nak mandi lah..


on the way down.. jalan so sempit, so the coaster cannot naik ti=o the villa, so we had to jalan sikit..


kat bawah ni, kat area Puncak ni byk kedai jual lampu & antiques.. and memang ada kat area Puncak jer.. so, we stop dulu kat sini.. most of us beli lampu & home decor.. my sis in law, mak mentua semua borong habis..

and the Price ... memang murah giler..

tgok kat belakang I tuh... mcm 2 and sgt cantik...

Puncak , Bogor - Day 4 continues..

After left the masjid , we move straight to the Safari..Bogor punye Zoo..
memang best giler as to those yg pernag pergi.. dahlah segala binatang ada.. and byk giler lah binatang, and theyb walk freely everywhere..
kita yg visit ni leh dok dlm bus jer lah.. nak turun boleh, tapi yg dekat haiwan2 jinak lah..
nak turun area tiger , lion tuh memang nak tempah maut lah..
cannot okay..


Dekat kan giraffe nih, binatang2 yg jinak2 nih, kalau nampak keta atau van harus dia serbu..
nak mintak makanan..

This is my favourite shot, hippo nih tgah lepak giler..Selamber jer tgok org ambik gambar dia.. Cnt really remeber berapa entrance fee dia.. but memang worth it.. all access..

Entrance fee termasuk tgok show gajah2 ni, and show2 binatang lain..

My dear ni sgtlah xcited nak ambik gambar ngan gajah, pdhal i sgt2 takut okay..

Ni masa show parrot nih.. alah yg dia terbang ambik duit kat tangan tuh..

Banyaklah gambar binatang2.. then dlm ni gak ada jual tshirt yg gajah lukis , souvenirs etc..

letihlah.. byk sgt binatang...

FYI, i memang tak pernah pergi any ZOO before this termasuklah zoo negara or zoo taiping..

so sgt2 excited...apatah lagi all the kids dlm rombongan kitorang tuh..
So after the Safari, lepas minum segala, we headed to Puncak.. tidor kat another villa kat sana..

dah forsee akan sgt sejuk, so dah siap2 beli arang segala for the fire place... tapi villa ni best & besar giler.. siap ada air panas.. so kira okaylah..

Bandung Day 3 continues..

Okay.. back to Bandung..
Kitorang sambung shopping lagi kat all the Outlet..
Kali ni pergi Cascade..
Very nice & cosy giler.. & the choices of clothes much2 better..

And this is kat Heritage..

Actually dah letih, tapi tetap gak Shopping..

Malam balik kat hotel..

Then we decided to keluar and sight seing Bandung town at nite..

This time kitorang lepak kat Beta Cafe.. tempat " lesehan " or lepak lah..

The specialities kat siti is the Bandrek Tea.. tea campur kelapa kot..

And tempat dia, duduk atas lantai.. nak baring ke aper ker.. up to you.

Memang best giler, cam tak nak balik jer..

Then dia punye ala- ala bandung waffle, semua pun ada campur2 kelapa..

Okaylah..

Balik hotel dah letih giler..

Btw balik kitorang tak naik cab - saje jer naik " Angkutan" , kat Bandung jer ada ni..

Dia cam Van - cim mini bus, they will send you anywhere as long dlm area2 dia lah..

Macam mana dia kira 'arae' dia kitorang pun tak tau..

For sure.. laju giler..

Terus tidor..

Bandung to Bogor Day 4


Okay.. day 4 dah nak gerak dari Bandung headed to Bogor, will be staying there..
Itu semua beg2 nak diangkut ke dalam coaster kitorang..
That's our beg dan our room yg terbukak tuh.. the best thing about this Hotel..
Not only cheap, selesa, and for sure the whole level tu, the whole row
semua bilik kitorang punye family..
and depan tu jer tempat nak makan, keluar bilik terus breakfast..
breakfast dia simple, but nice..
again good service..
we'll miss Bandung for sure..

Kat belakang to our coaster lah.. bus kecik.. just nice for the whole family &all our bags and bags..

Bndung jer yg banyak kuda kuda kat jalan2 raya..

On the way to Bogor stop kat this shop, dia jual semua souvenirs, home decor etc...

Sangatlah menarik.. tapi nak angkut balik tu satu hal..

But believe me, kat sini jer ada tau, after you dah tak jumpa dah..

Left Bandung , on the way to Puncak lalu Cipatat.. cam x -rated je words tuh.. , then
Cianjur.. Ci stands for Sg actually..
tak taulah, Pak Pree tourist guide tu yg bgtau..
ni berhenti kat 1 big stop , tempat ni jual segala mcm jeruk lah.. keropok dll..
kalau tak beli kat Pasar Bandung, you can buy it here, after dah pergi Jakarta, dah tak jumpa Dah segala mcm keropok tuh..

Jem or " macet' is everywhere.. tapi best tak boring sebab celah 2 " macet"tuh ada jugak org dagang tuh.. jual segala macam benda , paper , playboy - versi Indon, makanan, toys etc.. you name it..

reach puncak just nice time Asar, co singgah kat Masjid dia.. memang tinggi lah seba kat Puncak kan.. tapi masjid ni sangat cantik , especially kolam ikan dia.

Siap ada tempat letak beg / kasut/etc.. so takyah risaulah kasut ker slipper ke hilang..

yg paling best, dari tempat letak kasut tu ada air cam flow jer otw nak masuk masjid.. plus air dia memang sejuk giler.. by the time reach sini meamng dah terasa lagi sejuk dr Bandung town tuh..

Bandung Day 3

Day 3.. shopping continues..
Ari ni we are going to Cibaduyut.. places that sell more shoes & leather bags..
Dia mcm mana yek?? dia have so many shops by the road.. tapi jual brg2 kulit jer..

Ada yg 100% leather dan ada gak yg tak..
So, u really have to check betul2 k..
Price range lebih kurang sama jer..
I bought one pair shoe je kat sini..



Aha.. that's my dear.. ngah nak beli air kelapa..

Btw that' teh botol SOSRO.. punye kiosk..

I've told you yg kat sini memang famous giler Sosro nih..

My dear pun dah addict kat benda ni sket..

After we went to Pasar Baru Bandung.. this is where the Heaven to Shop for Fabrics..


very very cheap..nilah yg org selalu cakap beli barabg nak kahwin kat Bandung.. well if you really want to buy all the lace segala , memang very cheap. Plus byg giler pilihan dia.

Aha.. that's me lah.. model tak berbayar..

Sini goes level by level.. kalau level kain batik tuh.. kain batik jer..

level kain lace , kain lace jer..
Then dia ada level just utk telekung & persiapan nak gi Umrah..

Telekung dia yg sulam2 tuh memang cantik & murah, haruslah beli, and it comes with avery beautiful bag..

We had our lunch here..

Kt food court dia..


My dear was pointing at Sup Buntut.. he.. he..

But of course again we makan Nasi Timbel Komplit..

Nsi with lauk , sayur ec.. Memang complete lah..

Kalu nak round kat sini whole day memang harus baru cukup..
My dear suka sebab dia byk beli kain nak wat seluar pergi kerja,
very cheap compared kat KL nih..

Bandung Day 2

Day 2..
Geessh... sejuk giler..
Dahlah the jacket I bawak, just nice jer.. tak membantu lansung..

Anyway started the day - with No Breakfast..
The Villa owner - as dah biasa kat sini will prepare &
send breakfast to the people staying in the Villa, but by the time I bangun..
semua dah sejuk dah..
tak ada selera yet for Indonesian Food..
Mak aih.. susahnya la pulak..
Here is 1 hour early, that's mean I bangun kul 8am kat sini
actually kat KL is 7am..

And that here means we are already late...
Kat Indonesia they starts their day very2 early...
Argh... this is not a HOLIDAY.. utk org yg tak suka bgun pagi like me..
Anyway the idea that today is for SHOPPING..
adleast get my eyes open wide lah..
Went to Bandung - the Town..
We started shopping at Rumah MODE - my favourite ,
TEMPAT YG PLG BYK I SHOPPING - JUST BCOS THE ITEMS
ARE 100% ORIGINAL with very2 low prices..
Imagine my AX Tshirt - RM139.00 kat KL, but here
its only RM30...
So if u r looking for Guees, CK, AX, Bebe tshirts..
semua ada kat sini, plus Miss Sixty.. best giler..

Kat sini gak ada Java Bean Cafe.. the Jakarta Version of Central Perks in Friends..
Yes, here they still serves you.. NO SELF SERVICE mcm kat KL..
and the Sofa , the place cozy giler..
This is the Best Place..hmm..
Anyway tak lepak lama.. we have berpuluh lagi outlet to go..
Hmm.. now I starts to like Bandung...
We went to Natural dan semua outlet sepanjang jalan tuh..

Lunch at Kampung Sankoeriang..
again Minang's food, so sorry, I'm not so keen on the food
esp looking at the tiny chicken..
Just not my taste..
I memang ada masalah sikit makan2 luar ni, just like my mom..
But the rest of the family are really enjoying their food..
Anyway , my Dear is really enjoying everything..
the food, the people.. yes org2 Bandung ni pendek2..
cam Hobbit jer, I mean thegirls , ladies..


But if you are in Bandung, there will be so many people so called "Org Dagang.."
they are not Bandung people, they came to Bandung just nak berniaga..
at times they can be irritate & scary, cos they will follow you everywhere..
with all the sorts of things they want to sell.
Mainly souvenirs.. cheap one..
But DO NOT TOUCH.. or else you will end up force to Buy Them..


Lepas lunch, we straight to Perkampungan Angklung or
" Angklung Village ".

Kat sini I'm very impressed the way how Indonesian people ,
really appreciate the Angklung and they can create this village.

It's like a Kampung, with a big main hall where they'll have show on Angklung, from the very mak small to the biggest Angklung..
and from small little boy to adults that are specialize in playing Angklung..
and the way the plan the show etc.. was damn good...
So many tourist and the girl as the host, suara dia pun sedap even when
she just sing Burung Kakak Tua..

First, she's introducing the Angklung..the notes etc..
After they will have all the shows with all sizes ofAngklung & kids from all ages..

By ths time all of us dah dpt angklung each..
Then we try the angklung...then there's the best time when we all are invited
by all the small kids, to go down to the main hall & menari with all the kids...

Best & cute giler..
there's so many tourist & memang happening..

That's wrap the day..
after we all headed back to Bandung Town..
had our dinner again at Sederhana Restaurant..
and guess what..I had a very bad migraine,
mainly due to tak makan nasi & slightly change of weather..

Check in at hotel, take my actve fast.. and.the rest is history..
what a day..
