My mom and sisters gone nuts in Bandung Pasar Baru... Spent more than 8 Millions (Rupiah yea!) in that Pasar Baru itself for 2 consecutive days.
On the first day, Agus picked us up at the Airport and we headed straight to Simpang Raya for Nasik Padang luncheon.. Fuh! it was superb. Then, we checked in a small hotel, Hotel Serena (due to last minute arrangement, room unavailable at Grand Serela). It was fine with this hotel at rate RM90/night in term of location and cleanliness.. Anyway, we only need a room to put our bags and sleep..
Then, right after that, we headed to Pasar Baru until they closed the shutter at 5.30pm. Next morning, as early as 8.30am, we already in Pasar Baru for the 2nd time..bought anything we wish for and left the PB around 3pm.. muahahaha...
Our best catch during this trip:
1. Cottons - bundle of this...
2. lace for sister's wedding...
3. other kain
4. kebaya etc...
so guys, worth going there.. but bear in mind.. don't go during school holiday, the city will be so 'macet' and you lose your time on the road.. and definitely there will be zillions of people in the Pasar Baru too... penin.. penin...

Munawwarrah oh munawwarrah...
Tadi alang-alang ke Medan Mara, terus la ke Jln TAR. Pening lalat tengok kiri kanan depan belakang tudung Ekin, tudung ala munawwarah... and suddenly clicks my mind to look for Aryani Boutique -jalan punya jalan sampai melecet kaki baru sampai kek kedai tu..
Phewww.. it's full with all mak chik mak chik yang tgh kemaruk tudung ni. Me, bluntly joins them and terpegun tengok masing-masing with their own style trying..
Tapi dalam terpegun tu... i grab 3 pieces too.. i am officially Aryani-Munawwarrah too.. hehehe.. nanti i post the pic later eh..

Post Bandung Stories..
Sigh.. hhaaaa... all of us are safely back home with broad smile, very thin pocket. We departed out from Bandung Hussein Sastro.. Airport at 5.30pm, 17 Jan and reached KL around 8.30pm. We travelled back by Indonesia Airasia flight - more less like Bas Budaya zaman travel KL-Kajang dedulu.. hehehe
Out of my two experiences of visiting Bandung, i would like to share with u guys out there..
Firstly, ask yourself before u depart to Bandung..
1. What is your main plan? - Shopping, Shopping n' visiting nice places, Shopping n' Spa? or mainly visiting?
2. If shopping, What to buy? Telekong Semayang? Pants and Shirt keje? Baju Anak? Jeans? Kebaya Sulam? Lace? Japan Cotton?'
3. If shopping n' Spa - Yup.. i did this... Very Nice.
4. If visiting, sorry i am not interested in this! Hahahaha.. Better find out from another blog.
My both trips to Bandung were mainly shopping trip. After 2nd trip few days ago, my view of Bandung has changed a bit. Dulu ingatkan Jalan H. Juanda or local knows this as Dago street lah yang paling best and happening, but this time.. i found new street which offers more and better selection - it's Jln Riau-Marthadinata...
Ok, let me tell u my itinerary..
14 Jan - Arrived in Bandung around 11am and pick up van from Hotel already there to fetch us. By 12 already in Grand Serela Hotel lobby. But since room not yet ready, so we had to pack our quarter full bags into hotel safe and we went out for lunch and quick sightseeing (at factory outletlah ni..) around the hotel... Me and family managed to come back around 1.30pm (after lunch n sightseeing) and checked in sstraight away. Our room was 202. But my 3 girlfriends only came back around 3pm, they stucked in the FO already.. aiyahh..
14 Jan 3.30pm, all of us took 2 taxi (Gemuh & Blue Bird) to Rumah Mode as our first destination since this FO is the most jauh from our hotel. This is a must for everybody coming to Bandung as this FO sets the standard of a goog GOODS sold in Bandung Factory Outlet. Nevertheless the price is a bit higher but they offer better system and arrangement for all items sold in the FO. Alah, mahal pun dalam Rupiah je ibu-ibu, so doesn't cost u much really. We were there til dinner time. I spent 1.5Million here for 4 of us.. Papa, mommy, Iman & Ilham.. hahaha. The dinner was in Dapur Sangkuriang - Sunda Food which famous with Gurame Fish Soup. Nice food - all in all only cost us IDR 150K.
15 Jan - as early as 8.30am, we already in the taxi to Pasar Baru. 6 levels alltogether and it's crazy.. u need at least 2 days to cover all the shops in here. Me and family spent around 4 hours til lunch time in this outlet, but my friends all spent til 4pm.. crazy. They came back to the hotel with full hands and thin pocket.
What i shoppe in Pasar Baru:
1. Interested in LV imitation handbag but none willing to give my price - so bye bye.
2. Seroja Jaya - at 2nd Floor. This Pak Hilus kedai jual mcm2 busana muslim, 2in1, 3in1, Kebaya, Sarung laki-laki. This shop jual baju kebaya sulam siap silk at affordable price, Kalau tambah kain and selendang, tambah skit lagi la. Ikut kata Pak Hilus, kedai2 dalam Pasar Baru pun ambik dgn dia jugak.. so try la.. go there and bargain for half the price offered. And buleh upah jahit terus.. dia ada tukang jahit bersama dia... upah jahit IDR100K only for 24 hours service.
3. Qatifa - Level 1 - was proposed by Pak Hilus to go to this small shop. Her telekung sembahyang here cukup panjang with my size and considerably cheap to.. All less than RM100 here..
Then, we went out from Pasar Baru as my daughters get cranky and hungry already..so we left for lunch in another Sunda restaurant in the hotel area.
But, what my friend bought?
1. Tudung Ekin or Mak Indon with the beadings- they bought like nobody business.. berpack-pack.. hehehe.. (sorry, Ed!)
2. Kebaya from any shop but the next day the came back for Pak Hilus and shopped Kebaya again... + tempah baju.
3. Telekung Semayang..
4. Baju Indon.. really cheap..
5. Fake handbags.. bag main-main..
In the evening, we just went to FO in our area.. we have Heritage, Oasis, Secret, StAmp, Cascade, Terminal Tas, Coral and Summit.. I would give thumbs up for Heritage for baju keje and baju-baju anak. Cascade for kasut and baju anak too.. Oasis - u can tempah your Jeans here.. need 2 nights at least.. they measure u, cut and sew.. and get it ready in 2days. Hehehe.. Terminal Tas - all handbags sold in here. U name it Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Coach, Bonia.. choose and pay! The rest - enough to fill your free time!
16 Jan - our day started with Spa at Roger's Spa in Jalan Dago. This spa opens as early as 7am and u can do hair, body massage n' scrub and manicure, pedicure etc here.. it's cheap weih.. i do hair treatment and massage + scrub = less than RM100 only! So do take a taxi and tell him to go to Roger's Spa - Jalan Dago. Roger's located opposite to Borromeus Hospital. Nice Spa really!
Then, my friends headed to Pasar Baru again - tak cukup-cukup lagi nih! and I went back to hotel to take turn with hubby. It's my turn to take care of the kids. But then, all of them wanted to go out. So we went out for Lunch in Simpang Raya - Nasik Padang in Jalan Dago and lazying around the small-small FO around the street. We had blossoms, grande and etc around here. Worth visiting too.. mana tau kot2 ada yang berkenan.. hehehe
17 Jan - we went for 2nd, 3rd round of FO checking around Jalan Riau-Marthadinata. Bought some more.. even the bags were full already.. ehehehe..
By 1.30pm, after having quick lunch in the hotel cafe, we checked out and the van brought us to Prima Rasa for Brownies and Lapis Legit Bandung. This is a local bakery where locals shopped. Taste? WALLAH.. really nice! I recommend this place!
Finally by 3pm, we checked in airport... all pictures will be posted in next issue.

Bandung oh bandung.. part 1
I am dreaming of my bandung trip terribly lately.. hehehe..everyday and nights, whenever free.. i'll be surfing the net and get as much info as i can..in order to ensure our trip (family & friends) will be as smooth as expected.
I have made reservation for accommodation already. At first was thinking to stay in Galeria Ciumbulueit but then after reading bout it, that place is quite far from the Riau-Dago shopping streets.. and not easily accessible - need transport all the time to go in/out.. So not really a good choice.
Then, after reading and talking to Pak Agus (was introduced by my big brother), Grand Serela is a 3 star hotel and located within walking distance to FO. Thank goodness. But the rate is slightly higher but after i did some calculation to prev hotel + transport and this hotel.. it's the same amount though.. so let's stay in Grand Serela.
My thinking is.. my buddies - loub, ed and hanim will surely find their way in/out FO at any time they like.. and me? - maybe stranded with the 2 angels and in/out of this hotel numerous times a day.. hahahaha..
Some info quoted from my reading...
Bandung is Dago and Dago is Bandung
Once you are in Dago, it is easy to go anywhere. Grand Serela at Jalan Riau just around factory outlets such as the Heritage would be my first choice... , Grand Setiabudi less convenient for its location except it is near the famous Rumah Mode factory outlet
And please read the lengthy review at this page:
http://www.samyeap.com/bandung-grand-serela-hotel-review/
Below are some of the worth mention factory outlets in Bandung.
1. Rumah Mode ( the best in Bandung and a must visit) - Jln Setiabudi
2. Terminal Tas ( lots of branded ladies handbag)
3. Summit
4. Heritage
5. Merdeka Outlet
6. Level FO
7. Victoria FO
8. Mode Plus and Donatello – Jln Setiabudi
9. Secret Factory Outlet- the latest FO at Jalan Riau
And for Pak Agus services, this guy can provide hotel reservation (with some mark up to Indonesian rate!) and also transportation to anywhere u like.. and the charges he gave me was like a day rate (24 hrs available) for 7 person transportation = IDR600,000. This is pretty expensive for me.. I'll try to negotiate again if we agree to hire him on 12 hours basis..
that's all for today..
