Jakarta Jan' 2011

This year, my sister and I took our parents for a trip to Jakarta. It also includes a day trip to Bandung. I must say that I really enjoyed myself. Better than Hanoi last year. Not bcoz I didn't bring the kids, but bcoz I think Jakarta is a great place to shop for kain batik pasang and telekung.



I also like the food there. Like this traditional Javanese food called
Nasi Timbel. Simple food.



And of course a trip to Indonesia will not be complete without trying its Nasi Padang. We had this at Garuda Restaurant. The taste is like 20 times better than Sari Ratu. Like seriously ;)

On the 2nd day we took a day trio to Bandung, which was about 2.5 hrs drive. Yeah, a lot of shopping there too. Pasar Baru and the many FOS along Jln Riau. Also went to Chihampelas but honestly I don't like the stuff they sell there.

We had dinner @ the R&R on the highway. Masih lagi sempat shopping kat FOS kat situ hahaha :)

On the 3rd day, we toured Jakarta - surrounding places & city centre ie Sunda Kelapa Harbour (it was built in the 1500 and still in operation), Old Batavia and Mall of Indonesia.

One thing I didn't shop for - handbags. Gotta say I have lots of them at the moments.

I will definitely go to Jakarta/Bandung again ;)
