Brussels Spring

There are so many good places to eat in Bandung, and everytime I visit Bandung there's always has another new restaurant sets up and open up for business.. It attracts me to visit..

Our next stop in Bandung was Brussels Spring situated in Sumatra Street.. It's a nice place to hang out in Bandung..I've been curious to this place since our last visit to Bandung, and now my curiosity was paid off..

Check out their menu, the food varies from the small bites food like sliced cakes..


Waffles and pancakes.. We like their menu, which has colorful pictures hehe..


Ice Cream.. They not only served the sweet dishes, they also served the main course like pasta, steak, fried rice, and many more..


Simple and minimalist indoor dining area.. Or you prefer to seat outside..


Nice place, we seated in their balcony.. A good spot to enjoy the Bandung fresh air..

Surely, we ordered their specialty here.. Waffles.. We tried the savory waffles, Milanesse Cheese Waffle (35K), crispy waffle topped with minced meat, spinach, mozzarella cheese, and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.. It's so cheesyyy.. Yummy!! The waffle was crispy outside but soft inside.. the topping also a perfect match with the waffle.

And had their Coccain (17.5K).. Haha relax peeps it's not a cocaine as an illegal drug in a real meaning, Coccain in here is a suckao.. "Suckao" compound of two words 'suck' and 'cocoa' , its a small thick & smooth hot chocolate drink.. The suckao serves in a suckao cup with a tea light candle pot and also comes with a special spoon which at the end of the spoon serves as straw, you can sip your chocolate from it..

This is a DIY (Do It Yourself) drink, so you prepare, decide the proportion of chocolate vs milk suit to your liking, and drink it.. You can choose what chocolate you like; dark, white, or milk one.. We went for the dark one.. Mmm this is a must for chocolate lover..

The two dishes we ordered above are their recommended menu, and all of them turn out to be delicate.. Brussels Spring is a nice place to enjoy small bites or main course with a cozy place at affordable price in Bandung.. We heard from the waiter that they will open their branch in Jakarta soon.. Waa can't wait to visit it to try their other menus..

Warung Kopi Purnama

Old and classic, it reminds you in the old times sipping a good cup of hot tea or coffee and munching your favorite toast.. Yum..yum.. Who says old-style food is not nice?


Here's what we got when we're in our short trip to Bandung.. The first stop in Bandung, we began with having a light breakfast in this old-style coffee shop/kopitiam, Warung Kopi Purnama - Purnama Coffee Stall..


Stepping into this coffee stall, make me feel like if I've traveled backwards in time.. The owner has retained the stall original antique furniture.. The place is far from modern concept, with wood panel style building..


The place served a variety of drinks and old-style breads with various toppings as their main menu, but you also can find heavier meal like fried rice and some local foods from various street vendors outside the stall..


Since we were too early that day, we only can find this one Kembang Tahu (Bean curd Soup) street vendor.. Ok we gave it a try, Kembang Tahu - Bean curd Soup (6K).. The texture was not really soft but we really liked the ginger soup, it's good to warm up your stomach..


Need something sweet in the morning, we ordered Roti Srikaya - Srikaya Jam Bread (9K).. This old-style bread was so soft and fluffy, but i think it wasn't a toast bread, it spread with homemade srikaya/coconut milk jam.. I think they made it using palm sugar.. Tasted soo delicate


Not only tasted the sweet bread but we tried the savory one, Roti Dadar Ham - Egg and Ham Bread (13.5K), it's just an omelette egg with pork ham on it.. Although it was just an ordinary foods but it still pleases me.. It sure did bring back my childhood memories

Sierra Cafe & Lounge

Ok this will be our last meal on this Bandung trip.. We have a dinner at Sierra Cafe & Lounge.. They serve quite a good variety of foods; International selections, Asian, and Indonesian..


Located at the hill of dago surrounding by gorgeous landscape view.. That nite we planned to grab a seat on their outdoor terrace dining area. But seemed the weather was not friendly, it was raining at that time, so we seated on semi open air indoor dining area. But we still can enjoy the view and nice cool weather, it was a really enjoyable experience as it's the best way to see the entire Bandung city from such height.


They have a spacious dining area, really suitable for large group customers.. That time we seated on their ground floor, since the 1st floor was full already..


After we seated and order taken, we was served with this crackers..

Apparently, most my frenz craved for Indonesian foods and others craved for something soupy and warm..


Since I and E not really hungry, so we shared this Beef Udon (42.5K).. We thought it will be nice eating something warm with a cool weather, but sadly the soup was too salty..


My friend who is creamy food lover ordered this Sierra Special Soup (21.5K), it's a zuppa soup..


with really thick creamy soup on it.. of course she loved it hehe..


Ayam Betutu - Betutu Chicken (39.5K), my friend said the chicken was a bit hard..


Nasi Campur Bali - Balinese Mixed Rice (39.5K), steamed rice mix with fried nuts and shreds spicy chicken meat, boiled egg, and Balinese seafood satay..


Nasi Uluwatu - Uluwatu Rice (39.5K), steamed rice with fried shrimps, sauteed long beans, melinjo crackers, and others..

In my opinion, the food here is fairly but the best part is we can enjoy the great view of Bandung city from here..

The first time I stepped foot into Nanny's Pavillon, I just fell in-love with this place.. The place looks so nice! I love the way they deco this place.. It's a pavillion surrounded by white wooden fence in the middle of garden with simple interior which is relaxing and practical..

Lembang Kencana

Last Saturday was a holiday, it's a Vessak Day.. So we managed a one day trip to Bandung with my frenz.. When we arrived in Bandung early morning, we straight head to Lembang.. Lembang is located in the north of Bandung, the weather is cooler and fresher than Bandung..


And our first stop was this Lembang Kencana Restaurant, this restaurant is more like ranch for me hehe.. The restaurant offers milk, yogurts in all kinds of flavors, and regular Sundanese foods..


We were here to have a quick breakfast and of course to drink their Fresh Cow Milk.. Other than plain milk they offer several flavors like; Mocca, Strawberry, Chocolate, Coffee..


We ordered Plain Hot Milk (7K) and Chocolate Hot Milk (7K).. Tasted really fresh and its warm us up in the bright windy morning...


Strawberry Yogurt (12K), its fresh cold yogurt with strawberry juice for my friend who doesn't like milk (^_^)

Shake it...

And some toast to complete our breakfast; Strawberry Cheese Toast (6.5K) and Chocolate Cheese Toast (6.5K).. Not really good, couldn't taste the cheese hehe..

The milk is fresh from their own cattle and you can proof it by just walk out to the back..



One happy cow family hehe...
