Pop Hotel Bandung

Our home for 5 days when we were in Bandung early this month, Pop Hotel Bandung after lots of research and some find it funny due to its colourful kinder garden alike look.

Why I chose this one?
1. Affordable, cheap very much like our Tune Hotels but much better since it gave us full access to its more than 100 tv stations and also free in room wi-fi. It's not honeymoon, we only need a hotel to sleep not stuck in the hotel only. More savings means more shoppings ^_^

2. It's a new hotel so I guess it's going to be quite comfy. In fact, there's not so many reviews on this hotel online but still I took the risk.

3. It's attached to a shopping mall, Festival City Link that is and it would be easy for us to find food or whatever at night. Do you think we're going to be brave enuff to go out at night in a place where we don't belong?

There's towels, soaps, body shampoo and even supply of mineral water for two everyday! Things that you are charged if Tune Hotels ^_^

The unique design of their toilet and bathroom like a capsule. Btw, the sink & mirror are outside of the capsule for you to wash your face / brush your teeth.

Comfy room for two despite lack of space.

Despite the complaints and comments by some of my partners, I don't regret staying in this hotel. Really recommended especially because of its convenience to the shopping mall.

You want dinner, it's there. You want a store like Giant/Carrefour, it's there. Handphone store, it's there. Branded items such as Charles & Keith, it's there. Even J Co is there but we didn't had the chance to try it out the original one from Indonesia. That one I regret. We spent most our time outside shopping and only went to Festival at night for dinner at the awesome foodcourt.

There's even in-room safe deposit box and simple breakfast in the morning. Usually rice.

The price was 3,216,000 rupiah / RM1,050 for 3 rooms for 5 days 4 nights stay.

Bandung Day 3 Part 1 : Tangkuban Perahu

Day 3 program is to spent the whole day sight seeing.

The first spot is Tangkuban Perahu which has its own history. It tooks us 45 minutes to an hour journey to reach there. It was very much like our own Cameron Highlands minus the crater of course.

A whole new experience for us. The weather was just nice. Not so cold. But when the wind blew, it was quite cold but we still manage it ^_^ It was an awesome view seeing a dormant volcano (for the time being) with our own eyes and sulfur smells since Malaysia had none. Thank God for that Malaysia is such a blessed country.

Poser of course. An extremely amazing view up above...

This was taken upper dock and we need to walk down a bit.

The view from where we came down

My awesome trip partners ^_^

Btw, the price ticket approximately only RM15 per person per entry.

The trip won't be complete without this photo.

A place to remember for the rest of my life. Breathtaking view. Nice weather.

Minus the swarming sellers ^_^

Bandung Day 2 : Dinner @ Food Court Festival Link

We ran to Festival City Link for dinner right after coming back from Pasar Baru. The food here seems okay as what we have tasted last night.

KFC Indonesia. Don't know what does JAGO means. Sedap @ crunchy nyer ayam maybe ^_^ We had our very own KFC in Malaysia. Not going to waste my tummy and tasted it here.

One of the menu. Giggled reading sup buntut! Aiyo! What's so delicious with butt? Actually it was sup ekor. They called it buntut here.

My dinner menu. Tadaaaaa. Thank God it tastes so good!

Last but not least, trying their sate that looks delicious but it wasn't at all. Malaysian ones tastes superb.

Day 2 and we already missed Malaysian food.

Bandung Day 2 : Lunch @ Pasar Baru

We were really starving after climbing level by level....shop by shop with lots of barang in hand. Things are so heavy yet we still didn't stop shopping. So head up to the food court. Once we arrived, quite a few came around to racun us to eat at their shop. The people here are so desperate to find money. Everywhere you go, the tailed you until you buy what they are selling. Quite annoying. Really blessed to be Malaysian.

Since we're starving and also so tired carrying so many things in hand, I just sit whenever there is a spot without thinking much. Came this menu without giving us the chance to think. To free the annoying aura, we just place an order.

Sadly, the food taste so bad. Barely eat, just paid and continue shopping.

Tired. Hungry.
