20th thing I'd like to share - Caffebene

So there's this cafe called Caffebene
It collaborated with Korean Actor, Kim Soo Hyun :)
It is famous for its desserts and also I love the interior of this place.
Here are some photos:





I went there quite late at night and so it was closing. We ordered some ice cream. I ordered the chocolate one, aaaaand it's delicious! Recommended!

19th thing I'd like to share - Cocobeans

Heyho!
So it's been half a month I have been busy :)
So here's my next post : Cocobeans in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Well, it's located near my home, which is rare because it means the part of city where I'm living is now developing! *so happy*
Mostly the menus are Indonesian and Western food. We tried the western one, and they tastes like another western food. So, there are no special taste that I will tell you. Here are some photos of the foods we ordered.



One special thing from this place is the interior. You see, in this city, it's still mostly restaurants or places with no special interior. Finally, for sometime now there are lots of cafes or food places that made good interior. Here's the photo:


Lastly, this is the photo of drinks we ordered:

They taste fine :) Prices are also in range of Rp 20000 to Rp 40000 if I'm not mistaken (I went on Easter and I have just written this post now). Services are good and we also were given small chocolates in form of small eggs because it's Easter!

This post ends here!

18th thing I'd like to share - Three Bears Cafe Bandung

Hello!
I have mentioned about my outing with this girl, japobsganbare.blogspot.com 
so here I'll write about our visit to a cafe, Three Bears.

It is located in Paskal Hypersquare Bandung and it's not difficult to find.
It has great interior design, maybe I should go for the word "cute" instead.
I cannot tell much about the food and deserts since we only try one of many menus there.
Here is some photos of the place:








The place is great, maybe we came when it's the right time and not too crowded. Deserts are delicious, but drinks are not too recommended. Foods are just fine.

15th thing I'd like to share - Trip to Kawah Putih

Heyya, I know I'm supposed to be writing my dissertation, but I'm in a block (yeah I use the term writer-block). Seriously I have many things I needed to be done but I do not have the interest in doing them.

Let's just write a post about my trip to Kawah Putih this year.
Kawah Putih is a destination spot for those who are nature enthusiast. It is located in the south of Bandung, West Java. It is a beautiful crater lake. For more information, go to this link.


Here are some photos I took there:






I went with my family and we rented a  car to reach Kawah Putih. If you go there with travelling agents, word is that you need to pay for minivan that will take you from the parking spot and it cost a little plus you will need to wait for enough people to join the same car you're riding.
I don't find it too cold there, but the weather is quite unstable so I suggest you to bring umbrella and jacket. And also if you have a weak lung, it is better if you prepare a mask. Umbrella and mask are prepared by people there, but you have to pay for it of course. 



This post ends here. I hope you find it useful and helpful.
Love

10th thing I'd like to share - Lombok

 In july 2014, I had a chance to spent the holiday at Lombok, Bali. Ever heard of it?
It's an island near Bali and yes, it has great beach compared to Bali.
Here are some photos I took from my 4 days trip there. I went to two islands (Gili Terawangan and Gili Nanggu) and the rest of the days I went around the city and shopping for goods.

The first island I went to called Gili Terawangan. It has developed much, and it is intended for tourists who seek fun and pure holiday so it's made like Bali. There are so many small hotels, each have cafe or restaurant in front of its hotel. Each also have sun bathing spots, so if you don't live or at least order foods or drinks from its hotel and cafe, you're not permitted to sun bathe on their spots. Foods are great, it is quite cheap for the big portion they serve, mostly western food. They also provide bicycles to go around the island and many other facilities to enjoy your holiday there. Inside the beach is many coral reefs, and it's not that deep near the shore. I don't recommend swimming here because it will cause your feet bleed if you wear no protection.

The second island is Gili Nanggu. This island is more private and cleaner than Gili Terawangan, and there is only one hotel. It also has turtle breeding. It's a small island, you can walk from one end to the other. Also its waves are small so you can swim here with bonus : there ARE so many beautiful fishes!! It's a recommended beach for snorkeling :)

Gili Nanggu - crystal clear water usually, but it's a bit clouded since the day is not sunny
Gili Nanggu - you can see the other island in your eyesight
Gili Nanggu - the same photo as above, only a different perspective
Gili Nanggu - me posing here, you cannot see other people here since it's more a private beach

For nature enthusiast, I think you will find Lombok better than Bali since it is still clean and not much of tourists there.
I am grateful to have a friend living there, so I could cut my expenses ;)
All expenses I had include airplane tickets, boats, and a little for foods.

Fyi, Lombok has original spicy foods, especially seafood. For those who can't stand spicy foods, I recommend you to ask the restaurant or food counter to make the food less spicy ;).

Hope you find my post useful for you. Love,
