Bandung: Tempat Makan Berkesan

1. Belle Vue

                                                                                     

    Escargot au Vent

This place is actually a hotel in Setiabudhi. The building is so beautiful. It was designed by the owner, which is shocking because he is not an architect. The architecture itself has a ghotic elements and marvelous views from the top. The restaurant is on the 5th floor of the building. It offers you varieties of food, starts from french cuisine, italian dishes, wine, desserts, and many more. The uniqueness of this restaurant is they have an everyday promo, it can be a 50% discount for selected dishes, free dessert, buy 1 get 2, etc. -FYI, it opens 24 hours/day- The place is beautiful, the view is stunning, the decoration is superb, what else can can I say.. My most favourite dish is the escargot. Escargot is actually a snail. This is an original French dish, which is also their signature dish. The thing I like about their escargo is that the escargot is covered with pastry so that it has a balance texture between the pastry and the escargo within it. However, you have to spend quite a costly price, but it is all worth a try. This is a place where I said "Yes" when he asked me :).

2. Mujigae

3rd: Bibimap, you have to mix the sauce and the rice all together in the bowl

4th: this is the drink! You have to lift the upside-down bottle, and mix it with the salty cream

I have just visited this resto twice. It is located at Cihampelas Walk or what so called as CiWalk. This is definitely a place for the K-Lover. The decoration and lay out are so creative. I was amased when I first went here because I've never visited such a restaurant with Korean elements all over place. Here, you can make you order trough the iPad that is available in every table. You can also request a video that will be played in a big screen inside the resto. It offers you Korean cuisine obviously. The food is delicious, but personally I don't think that the dishes are stand-out. The beverages are pretty unique, I hardly explain it to you but you'll understand as soon as you visit this place ;)

3. Braga Permai

This is an old restaurant who has so many variations on their menu list. It has a chinese cuisine, western, Indonesian, Italian, and cakes&chocolates! The special thing about this place is their delicious food and not expensive price. My boyfriend and I are a money spender for food. But here, we can spend less than Rp100.000,00 and yet felt so full already. For a restaurant class dish, this one is pretty affordable and of course with a good quality.

4. Takigawa - Meat Bar In The Sky

Left: Volcano sushi; Right: Wakame Salad

I love hanging out with my Dad and grab some food. Our favourite place to eat is Takigawa. He usually orders Kamameshi; a baked rice with toppings (scallop, shrimp, ell, etc). And my all time favourite dish is wakame salad and also volcano sushi. As I know, there are only 2 Takigawa restaurant in Bandung; at Trans Studio Mall and Dago Atas. Takigawa - Meat Bar In The Sky is located at Dago Atas. There, you'll be giver 2 menu books, the Takigawa menu which is Japanese cuisine and the meat bar menu which are mostly western cuisine with varieties of steaks. The place itself is beautiful, the price is in the similar range with the other restaurant in Dago Atas.

Les Sardines

Je viens de voir un vidéo que mon ami m'a donne récemment. Dans notre dernière conversation, je l'ai dit que je suis tellement occupé par mon tâche au campus. Il y a environ quelques semaines je n'ai pas vu son message. Finallement, ce matin j'ai des temps pour le lire grâce à il n'y a pas d'activité pratique au campus cet semaine (peut-être je te le diras au l'article prochain). En un mot, il m'a donne un vidéo de chanson français. Il a dit que le rythme et les paroles peuvent me faire danser devant l'ordinateur portable LOL. En fait, je pense que le chanson est très amuse. Le mélodie est excité  il y a aussi beaucoup de gens qui dansent avec le chanteur sur le vidéo. Ce comme il y a un grand fête là. J'ai vu les commentaires aussi, il y a quelqu'un qui a posté "Ceci est la musique qui te reste une semaine dans la tête." 

Voilà le vidéo !

LES SARDINES – PATRICK SÉBASTIEN

Pour faire une chanson facile, facile,
Faut d’abord des paroles débiles, débiles,
Une petite mélodie qui te prend bien la tête,
Et une chorégraphie pour bien faire la fête,
Dans celle là, on se rassemble, à 5, ou 6, ou 7
Et on se colle tous ensemble, en chantant à tue tête.

Ha ! Qu’est-ce qu’on est serré, au fond de cette boite,
Chantent les sardines, chantent les sardines,
Ha ! Qu’est-ce qu’on est serré, au fond de cette boite,
Chantent les sardines entre l’huile et les aromates. (2x)

Bien sûr, que c’est vraiment facile, facile,
C’est même complètement débile, débile,
C’est pas fait pour penser, c’est fait pour faire la fête,
C’est fait pour se toucher, se frotter les arêtes ,
Alors on se rassemble, à 5, ou 6, ou 7,
Et puis on saute ensemble en chantant à tue tête,

Ha ! Qu’est-ce qu’on est serré, au fond de cette boite,
Chantent les sardines, chantent les sardines,
Ha ! Qu’est-ce qu’on est serré, au fond de cette boite,
Chantent les sardines entre l’huile et les aromates. (2x)

Et puis,… pour respirer un p’tit peu, on s’écarte en se tenant la main,
Et puis, … pour être encore plus heureux,
On fait là, là, là, en chantant mon refrain !
Là, là, et les mains en l’air, là, là !
Là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, ……..

(Parlé 8 mesures)
Et maintenant, on se resserre tous !
On se resserre, et maintenant qu’on l’a connaît, on va chanter la chanson des sardines ! Attention ! Allez !

Ha ! Qu’est-ce qu’on est serré, au fond de cette boite,
Chantent les sardines, chantent les sardines,
Ha ! Qu’est-ce qu’on est serré, au fond de cette boite,
Chantent les sardines entre l’huile et les aromates. (2x)

Ha ! Qu’est-ce qu’on est serré, au fond de cette boite,
Chantent les sardines, chantent les sardines,
Ha ! Qu’est-ce qu’on est serré, au fond de cette boite,
Chantent les sardines entre l’huile et les aromates. (1x)

là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, …….. (8 mesures)
là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, là, …….. (8 mesures)

have fun!

I don't mean to write a self-reflected post (almost) all the time, but this thing just passed my mind.. This ispiration came while I was watching a serial film on TV LOL

Well, I have to admit that from this week ahead, I will be in my highest level of activity which will also affect my sensitivity and temper. I'm just started the 'praktikum ' and it means that I'm adding 4 more SKS to my schedule. I'm also having some extra-campus activities and these things keep me busy all the time. However, complaining will not solve any problem. 

My teacher said, "life is a process", and that's what I believe until now. The condition presses me to be more mature and being able to manage myself even better. No body wants to have such a responsibility, but unfortunately everyone have to take the responsibility for the sake of temselves.

Eventually, we have to deal with the real professional world. To make money by our own, to live separated with our beloved family, and to determine our very own future. But the positive thing is this doesn't indicate that we're losing our happiness nor 'childish' side. We just have to do this in balance, to keep having fun while doing our job/responsibility. And one more thing, don't procrastinate!

At the end, the message of this post is: you are never too old to have fun and yet you are never too young to take responsibilities. Work hard, play hard, and pray hard.



Sincerely,



Delicia

Sad?

Is This Real?

The title of this post has became one of my greatest fear recently. 

IS THIS REAL ?

Time runs by so rapidly. I almost can't catch it. I start to lose my breath. Time is just like the wind. You can certainly feel the its flow, but you do not know where it goes. It blows and it leads you to somewhere you don't know. This place is called 'The Future'.

This past few weeks, I've been vanished from this blog. To be honest, it is so unfortunate to sacrifice the things you love and allocate your time for something more 'important'. This academic year of 2013/2014 is going to be my third year at this institute of technology. And this is all start to get real! Yep, university is like a 'trial and error' learning place. If you fail on your test, you will get a bad score. But in the real world, you being fail will affect many things like your income, your future family, and even your collegue or your very own corporation. Well.. That's a pretty big deal.

Now, I have to start planning my future, at lease for the next few years. Where will I do the internship? When is my graduation target? Where will I continue my master? What major I'm going to choose? But first of all I gotta ask myself, have I done enough in the past a couple of years? Or maybe I'm just playing around and traying many things for fun without any concern about the near future? Some say that being overthinking is not good, but for me to be unprepared for what you'll soon face is even worse. 

Eventually, I have to be more mature and wise. It doesn't mean I have to give up all my happiness/hobbies. In fact, I olny have to be more focus with my goals and well-managed my time. Personally, I don't want to let my future self down. For me, there are no enough space for regret and disappointment. I am pursuing my happy ending and I'm gonna give it all. 

Happy ending is not a fairy tale and hoping is not enough :)



Hug & Kiss,
