		<description><![CDATA[Actually, I didn’t come from Bandung city. I came from Cicalengka district, Bandung regency. But because Cicalengka is not quite popular, I often have no idea how to explain this district when some people ask. Beside, Cicalengka has same temperature and culinary as Bandung city. By the way, since I lived in Surabaya, I miss my homeland. Cicalengka and Surabaya are totally different. Surabaya is a metropolitan, while Cicalengka is a village. You can see many rice field and garden there. Although the number of those green areas have decreased due to manufacturers. But don’t think that Cicalengka offers you only panoramas. There are also two tourism sites. First, Cinulang waterfall. It’s located between Bandung regency and Garut regency. However, this area is a part of Sumedang regency. Well, this may confuse you. But Cinulang Waterfall is still recognized as Cicalengka tourism site. Second is Aki Enin cottage. It’s a new tourism site in Cicalengka that offers village panorama. You can see rice field, river and mountains while enjoying some traditional and humble menus, such as fried fish and chicken, tahu, tempeh, vegetable and its spicy sauce. Yes, all you can find here is greenery land with nature product, instead [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don’t claim yourself a coffee lover or a gourmet if you never drank luwak coffee. Yes, luwak coffee. Or kopi luwak in Indonesian. It’s not a kind of coffee made from luwak (palm civet a.k.a. Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). Just, the production process involves civets. This little mammal lives on the trees and eats the chosen coffee fruit. And it takes only a healthy civet to produce good quality coffee bean. Luwak coffee is so popular because of its unique making. It seems like people has just discovered a kind of new beverage. But the truth, luwak coffee has been existed in Indonesia since Netherland colonial era. It was started at the beginning of 18th century when Netherland opened the commercial plants gardening in Java and Sumatra. One of the plants is Arabica coffee from Yemen. In cultuurstelsel era, the colonial government forbade workers to pick the coffee for personal consumption. However, the people wanted to try that fine coffee. Then, they found a kind of civet which loves to eat coffee, but they only digest the pulp. They let the epidermis and coffee bean out from their body through dung. People picked the coffee beans in civet feces, washed them, fried [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been two months I live in Surabaya. How does it feel? As we know, Surabaya has hot temperature. I am still not accustomed to that. Sometimes, I miss Bandung temperature. It is chill, so I do not have to use the fan all the time. Different region, different culture, different temperature, different culinary too. I have tried some Surabaya culinary. Except kupang lontong, I do not have any problem with those. But if I do have, it does not matter because I can cook. I am not a chef. I am just a woman who wants to cook, not for myself, but also for my family. I miss Sundanese food. Like steamed goldfish (pepes ikan mas in local name). It is pretty hard to find goldfish here. I must order first before having it a day after. The good news is, the ingredients are easy to find: Banana leaf Ginger Citronella Laurel leaves Tomato Basil leaves Hot chili pepper or red chili (if you like) Large yellow union Garlic Union Turmeric Brown sugar Salt Maybe you ask about the recipe measurement. Well, I never use it, except for making cookies. I always use instinct. The taste depends of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was raining when my husband and I took a walk at Dipati Ukur Street. The rain was not so hard, but pretty chilly. We need something warm to eat. And suddenly, I saw kentang arab’s booth there. What a coincidence! So, before backed to the hotel, we bought that potato-based snack. It’s my favorite. I had tasted kentang arab long before I got married. It was delicious and crunchy. I really like it! But I never had a plan to cook it by myself. Because it would be a bit difficult to make than, for instance, french fries. Then, when we moved to Surabaya, we did not find any kentang arab in this city. Hum, I think it is originally from Bandung. My husband wanted that snack when he came back from work. So, I went to the market and bought the ingredients: potato, wheat flour, eggs, cheese, salt, and cooking oil. In the afternoon, I started to process those ingredients. I peeled the potato and chop it. Then I boil it for while. I used to do this when I was about to make french fries. The boiling process has a purpose to make the potato a little [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For our little honeymoon, my wife and I decided to spend a quality time in Grand Royal Panghegar for two nights. Panghegar is not merely five-star hotel, but also apartments and office block. It is located at Merdeka street, a strategic area in the centre of Bandung. We stayed there in the Deluxe Condotel room. The view is not so good, though. There is well-designed swimming pool down there, but further, we can only see a banal street and old school building. However, Panghegar is pleasantly near everywhere: malls, book stores, heritage places (i.e. Braga), factory outlets, town hall, electronic centre, French Culture Centre (CCF Bandung), museums, cathedral, culinary places, etc. But it is also near a railroad! What a noisy it supposed to be. Luckily, we stayed on the 15th story, so I did not hear any train passed by at the moment. Although, another noise heard. It was Panghegar’s ongoing renovation. Day one, in the morning, I was pretty surprised by a letter: “We kindly inform you that today, starting from 08.00 to 16.00, the water from pantry sink and washbasin taps will be shut off due to maintenance work for the potable water plumbing system.” Ok. No [...]]]></description>
