Indonesia 2025 (iii): Sukawana

Off to Bandung

After spending 2 nights in Ciletuh, the gang returned to Jakarta half-heartedly. We had a late lunch at this Pondok Bambu Kuring. While the food is a a tad on the expensive side, it was delish. Okay, with our tummies full, now we can head back to Jakarta 😊.

The chicken and fish were moist and juicy

The menu and price list

When we were back in Jakarta, we bid adieu to the rest of the gang.

We continued on our journey to Bandung. Believe it or not, it just took us 2 hours to arrive in Bandung, apart from our dinner stop at the R&R. You should've seen the highway road heading towards Jakarta. It was jam-packed with Jakartans returning from the long weekend.

Dinner at Solaria




melaka mendonia?

I've seen YouTube videos from Indonesian travellers, who were praising the R&Rs in Malaysia. Whilst I've only been to just one - Rest Area KM88A - it's pretty big, clean and has lots of shops and a big mosque 💪


That's a big number

Bandung

The next day, my friends took me do De.u Coffee Dago for breakfast. It's a hot nongkrong spot right now in Bandung. So much so they're expanding and adding a multi-storey building.

Most items in their menu were "sold out". It was still early I guess. We chose the Beef Ham & Cheese Panini. And before leaving for Sukawana, we must make a stop at Sari Sari. However, they ran out of celorot 😔. Bah humbug

Google, please make the yellow cone go away 😁

Sukawana

We made Bobocabin Sukawana as our home for one night. It's located north of Bandung, to the left of the Lembang area that Malaysians usually visit. Staying in a tea plantation may not be a thing for most people. We opted for the Grand Cabin with Extra Bed and Hot Tub. The latter really made a difference because we basically soaked in the hot tub after dinner and breakfast. If you're staying for more than one night (like the guy in front of us at check-in who would be staying for 4!), you could partake in the tea walk and waterfall tour for instance. Of course, Bandung and Lembang are not that far away. It has to be said that the drive to the Alfamart that night to get our mie supply was in total darkness albeit a short drive away! 🙈

The breakfast options

Since the room could fit up to 4 people, we could choose 4 items off the breakfast menu. No nasgor for my friend though 😅
What a view for breakfast


One non-controversial pic I hope 😸
