3D2N Bandung Trip: Dusun Bambu Family Leisure Park, Bandung (Part 2)

If you are enjoying walking in a flower fields, you will love visiting one of the latest attractions in Bandung, Dusun Bambu Family Leisure Park. Dusun Bambu is massive in size and it is decorated with a lot of beautiful flower fields.

Too bad there are no educational signs to inform visitors on what kind of flowers being put on display here. The red flowers are so beautiful though. Hopefully people are being aware of their surroundings when they are busy taking pictures around the flowers.

Love this daisy fields. Half of the daisies are still blooming but it will be even prettier when all of them are in full bloom.

There are a small section dedicated for strawberry picking but there were no more strawberries left to pick. U_U.

My brother and cousin are busy challenging each other in some archery game at the game section.

It looks easy to do but these bows are no jokes. A lot of people experiencing sore in their hands and shoulders after a few round of archery. I suppose Ramsay Bolton did not learn archery in one day.

One game of archery costs IDR 30,000 per person, which I suppose still considered pretty cheap as they let you to try out until your hand is sore. The trainers will teach you on the proper technique to use the bow and arrow before the session too.

3D2N Bandung Trip: Dusun Bambu Family Leisure Park, Bandung

Back in December (whoa, that's like a half year ago, time flies), my family and I visited a popular tourist place named Dusun Bambu Family Leisure Park in Bandung. Coming to Dusun Bambu has proven to be quite challenging because the road up here is not that big, and there are so many people want to come here which results in a massive traffic congestion. After a few hours of my cousin's effort behind the steer, we finally managed to reach Dusun Bambu.

The park is basically themed around nature with an area of paddy field, a lake with a lot of trees behind, a flower field, a river, strawberry field, rabbit petting area, etc. The main attraction of Dusun Bambu is gotta be the lake. The 6 houses at the other side of the lake can be reached if you are hiring boat to play on the lake.

There are two types of boats, one looks like an inflatable rescue boat while the other looks like sampan (or canoe?). I am not really sure what is the purpose of the houses there, it can be purely decoration or restaurant but I suspect they are there for decoration purposes.

The park at Dusun Bambu is really big and this is quite nice because it lets you take picture without getting photobombed by so many people.

I wonder what kind of flower is this. The quantity of the branches is a lot more that the quantity of the flowers themselves.

As Dusun Bambu is located pretty uphill, most often you will be able to see the misty mountain weather. It's nice to feel cooling weather once in a while especially since downtown Bandung is quite hot.

8 AM - 9 PM (everyday)

3D2N Bandung Trip: Martabak Andir, The King of Martabak in Bandung

If you are on vacation to the city of Bandung, there is one street food that you must not miss. It is called Martabak and you can only get the best from Martabak Andir. Andir is not famous for nothing. You need to wait for a minimum of one hour just to get your hands on the hot piping sweet or savoury martabak.

For your reference, "Martabak Manis" refers to the sweet one (usually with chocolate, cheese, nutella, etc as fillings) while "Martabak Telor" refers to the savoury one which is cooked with a lot of eggs, choice of meat and spring onions. Huh? Oh you had no idea what is martabak?

Martabak is actually something like a folded pancake. In order to make the pancakes, the hot buttery pans are prepared and then the liquid dough is poured on it to create this thick and yummy looking pancake. The thing about Martabak Andir is you can choose so many variety for the pancake from green tea, red velvet (the red one) and even taro (the purple one). The filling is then added on top of the hot piping pancake. Oh my gawd just talking about this makes me wanna eat.

We order two types of sweet martabak with Nutella Cheese Martabak. The nutella and cheese (Kraft cheese) are added on top of the original batter. The combination taste so heavenly since I am a nutella lover.

Despite the already-awesome nutella cheese martabak, the highlight of Martabak Andir is gotta be the Martabak Pandan Jagung Manis (directly translated to sweet pandan corn martabak). The pancake is green because it is fused with pandan leaves as coloring. There is no chocolate element in this martabak and hence, my mum has her slight reservation on this flavor. However, once she tasted it, there is no going back because the taste is so good.

Uhm, well, let's keep closed eyes on the amount of butter used to whip out this goody street food. Hahaha.

We are right in the middle of summer and Noona feels like getting herself a break.

While she's hoping for an awesome beach bod for August, it's time to browse around for some cool styling tips for the summer look which can make you look great with the blue ocean as the background. If you are also looking for one, look no more than to the hot and sexy Son Dam Bi in her latest pictorial for the Traveller, which happens to be a travel magazine too.

Steal Her Look: Sulli's Pattern Summer Blouse

Her look:

Sulli's Instagram has always been interpreted as something sexy by the netizens but Noona supposes Sulli just tried to make her IG looks different and unique. After all, nothing makes a lady attractive than the mysteries surrounding her, right? Anyway, those bizarre posts aside, Sulli is not ready to leave the entertainment world yet and she is still one of the highly sought K-Pop idols for fashion pictorial. Thursday Island has made Sulli their face for adverts for the S/S 2016 collections. If you have Sulli's style, you can adopt her style wearing pattern blouse.

3D2N Bandung Trip: Seeing European Village in Lembang, Bandung

Our adventure at Farmhouse continues. Farmhouse is actually a pretty newly established tourist attraction in Lembang, Bandung. The attraction was just opened back in December. The theme of the tourist attraction is actually inspired from a European village. This can be seen from the decoration of the stores and restaurants inside Farmhouse.

The area is not very big and hence, you can expect a bit of crowd during school holidays or big holidays like Christmas.

Some little details on the wall. That tiles are so Dutch.

Wall decoration at Farmhouse Lembang Bandung

Talking about the Dutch, visitors are able to rent those traditional Dutch costume and wear it for photo-taking anywhere inside Farmhouse. I have to say that this is such a creative idea. Let's just hope they take proper washing of those costumes as Indonesian weather tend to be hot and humid and well, you don't want to smell other people's sweat when you wear that costume. XD

We were given some coupons for free milk and sausages. But if you are not into milk and sausages, there are other things that you can buy inside Farmhouse. For instance, there is this juice bar stall. The village suddenly looks pretty modern to me now. Hahaha.

There is also a restaurant at level 2 of the most-corner house. The restaurant has not been opened when we visited back at end of December. Not many reviews can be found on the internet about the restaurant yet, I can't help but wonder if the restaurant has been opened after all.
