Shopaholic in Bandung day 2

Second day... I woke up the 'late-st' among all the girls in the room. I was on vacation, of course I wanted to sleep in as long as possible. We went down for breakfast at the hotel lobby. Ehemmm... But the hotel is only two floors, so basically we went downstairs to have breakfast. The breakfast wasn't anything fancy, it was just simple nasi kuning+egg, mee hoon, and bread accompanied with super-strong indonesian coffee and (chrysanthemum scented) tea.

While waiting for our supir, we were ambushed by all the sellers trying to get us buying souvenirs ranged from keychains, t-shirts, bags, pens and other stuff. If you DON'T want to buy from them, DO NOT TOUCH any of the items. They will follow you everywhere until you buy from them.

Second day itinerary was supposed to go to Ciwidey where the kawah putih is located. But.... there was an election held that day, so we might encounter the famous indonesian 'macet'/jammed on the way. So, we figured we might as well postpone Ciwidey plan to 3rd day.

So the plan was to go back to pasar baru to get whatever we "forgot" last time...

Blouses - I got mom's blouse here

Lunch at Pak Chi Met - Ikan Bakar Gurame set with rice

Kebaya Sulam... pretty sulam, i bought the purple-type only brown-ish color.

After lunch, we decided to 'recharge' at the hotel, bringing back again pleeeeeenty of shopping bags. It's more than the first day!

(below) Half day of shopping.. hmmm.. shopaholic? guilty as charged =D

We asked the nice supir to come and pick us up 2 hours after he dropped us off. We ended up taking nap and waking up at 4.30-ish. Then 5 o'clock went straight to jalan alun-alun where the king's mall is located. Our supir warned us to be careful with our belonging as there might be 'pencopet'/pickpocket along there. After that I was holding on to my millions of rupiah in my bag!

Some of the shops were closing when we got there, but still... we got to grab few stuff, some cottons,chiffons, pants, tops and flower girl dresses while we were there... Gesek(swipe)... gesek all we can... hehehehe...

We promised each other we'd meet at the front of the mall around 8pm before heading to dinner. When we wanted to drop off our shopping bags in the car, we saw Pak Tedy was checking out clothes in front of an FO. I didn't even get to see name of the FO. Apparently he was checking out the kids clothes. We took the chance to buy some also. Since I was still holding my shopping bags at that time, browsing was not easy, but Pak Tedy nicely offered to take the bags to the car. Heheh, how nice of him. Only then, browsing/shopping became easy...

After a tiring day of shopping, we were brought to Restoran Simpang Raya to have a feast of the famous indonesian nasi padang. We were served many dishes of nasi padang: meat, fish, begedil, veges, chicken and some I can't remember. It was already 8.30ish when we had dinner, I think we were feeling full from all of our shopping. So, some of the dishes were not even touched, but personally for me, i prefer the sundanese meal rather than nasi padang (is this jawa?). Few dishes were prepared with coconut milk (santan) which made it too heavy. The price for second day dinner was quite reasonable, if I can remember correctly it was about RP160k ~rm56 (including juices) for 6 persons :)

After dinner, went back to the h0tel. Before sleeping, compare barang-barang (in case if anything left off somewhere..heheheh).. then went off to bed because we had Ciwidey waiting the next day :)
