Halo.. Halo, Bandung.. Part 2

Okay, let's pick up where I have let things off.. After going to Disini Bakery, my mother heard about this other bakery that her friend once mentioned. It turns out that the owner is a pastry teacher, so she opens classes.. She's the famous Ny.Liem..

This is the proof why I think rainbow cake and red velvet is overrated! Just see the pics below..

It's the ad they have.. Overrateddddddd

I admit it looks cute. But it doesn't taste good. They don't use cream cheese.. They use butter frosting which made them dry and not as moist as a good red velvet should be.. For the rainbow cake, it's definitely just an ordinary sponge cake with food colourings

Even the cheap cakes has been turned into a rainbow cake

 As I went inside the store, which is not too spacious, I was first attracted by the colourful pastries. But then I realised most of them all are just "rainbow cakes". I don't recommend this place cause I think they're just one of those people who exploit the trend of having a rainbow cake. It has nothing special, they only add food colourings. My mom also bought the supposed to be famous kue lapis from this place. It's not good. It's too dry. It just looks good cause they made it very pretty with a square-like pattern, unlike the ordinary kue lapis. But, it's not good. and it's expensive..

Sorry, Ny.Liem, your fake rainbow cake and red velvet is an embarrassment.. And I think you are exploiting  and ruining the cake itself..

Next stop, of course, the famous Primarasa.. I have done a review on this place in my other Bandung trip review.. Click HERE to see that post.. The thing that I love about going to Primarasa is that there are lots of food hawkers outside.. One of them isssss... TAHU JELETOT.. lol.. I can't say the name without letting out at least a smirk..

Hunted because Of the Taste.. it's H.O.T... lol

So yummiehhh

I don't have the natural talent of eating spicy food. This fried tofu is spicy, but I don't know where the spiciness came from. There's no chili in the filling. I just ate one and couldn't stand the spiciness. Unline my Mom, who is a spicy food lover, this means nothing to her.. 

 You can't leave Bandung without buying snacks! This is my favorite place to buy Bandung Snack. Snack Corner is located at Jalan Riau no 51. They have variety of snack choices as you can see on the pictures down below. They also have testers so you will know which one you like..

Yes, that red basket is full. We bought two baskets of snacks.. and we are not ashamed!

Choicessss

Choicessssssss.. I'm so confused which one to pick

The gigantic wok which they use to fry the snacks.. Too bad they were not frying anything that time

Last but not least, the last destination has been a compulsory place to visit when we are at Bandung.. I have been going to this place since I have a memory of my life.

Say hello to my most favorite Sundanese Restaurant in Bandung... Asli Laksana.. It is located at Jl. Soekarno Hatta no 395 and no, they don't sell laksana. Across this restaurant is another Laksana restaurant. So the owner has two wives and of course, they don't want to share things.. So the two of them opened the restaurant separately. I never visited the other one though. My dad said Asli Laksana is better than Laksana (which is just across the street). I trust my old man. Oh, there's also Ampera, another famous Sundanese restaurant with lots of branches scattered all over Bandung.

It is always this packed. They even have a special parking space inside the alley next to the restaurant cause they don't have enough parking space anymore

This is the karedok stall. I don't really like karedok. They are basically raw vegetables mixed with peanut sauce. BUT, whenever my parents ordered them, I couldn't help getting some on my plate cause they are so damn fragrant!

They have lots of long tables. The place is quite big so don't worry of not getting any tables. The plates of foods are just put on top of it. You can just take  whatever you want. They have the same system as Padang restaurants. So if you wanna lie about what you've eaten, you surely can do it. My brother once stole a fish when he was just a kid. He was so hungry, he couldn't wait to be seated. But it turned out he took a salted fish, which after a bite, he spat it out and threw it to the floor.. -__-"

Oh and that big pot and the big bowls next to it are some of the dishes that have to be ordered. They have sayur asem, many types of gulai, etc.. They also have sop iga and it's also tasty

This is the most spicy but delicious chili I have ever had. At first you will feel it's somehow sweet but it will give you a spicy feeling lingering your whole mouth and lips. I know I can't eat spicy food, but I can't help eating my meal with this chili cause it is SO DAMN GOOD AND YUMMY! It's so spicy that they started making the 'not too spicy' version.. 

This is VINA'S COMBO. I will always have these on my plate of rice. Okay starting from the top left, otak goreng.. Yes, it's brain, but it's so yummy I don't feel gross out at all. Next to it is pepes tahu. I usually open the pepes jamur. But this time, they ran out of it and I happened to open the wrong pepes.. So I gotta eat it since I've opened it. It's yummy but I like the pepes jamur more. Next to it is jarit and babat goreng. I love their jarit babat goreng. They are sweet and savory. Lastly, it's the fried kalasan chicken. The fried spices is delishhhh that I could only eat that with the rice.

 You can tell the waiter to heat up the dishes that you picked before you eat them. But my Dad usually only tell the waiter to heat up the otak goreng (I won't say fried brain cause it's just so weird), Kalasan chicken, and babat jarit goreng.. I love love love this place and I recommend it to you Sundanese food lovers.. They have so many varieties of Sundanese food which is PURE MAD LOVE. Plus, the yummy spicy chili that can only be found in here. I have never seen or taste anything like that in other places..

So yeah, we have come to an end of another Bandung review.. Hope you enjoy it and I also hope you can try the food for yourself..

These were only half of the things that we bought. We ended up buying carrots and avocados worthy of 5kg each..
