Ice Cream Durian Bang Didi

This was a post when I went to Bogor couple weeks ago. Every time we go there, our first stop is always at this Durian ice cream stall. This stall really serves the best durian ice cream. At least, until now I haven't found any others who can beat Bang Didi's. He was very generous in using the real durian fruit, unlike other vendors who used ice cream more than the fruit itself. It was a little heaven melted in mouth. Definitely recommended. 

They have 2 size of glass, small one was 8k and big one was 15k. To me the small one was more than enough, but I saw many people preferred the big one.

 

Guidance: From freeway exit Bogor, took left to Tajur and you will see a big supermarket on your left side. I cannot remember was it Hero or Giant. Beside it, you will see an alley, turn left and on your left you will see a stall beside the road named "Ice Cream Durian Bang Didi". You will find it for sure, the queuing line was too hard to missed.

Luna Negra

One day before my buying trip, I managed to squeeze a lunch date with a friend of mine, Merry. We decided to meet at Luna Negra. I haven't been here although the place had opened for quite some time and promptly becoming a must visit dining in town. It was Saturday afternoon and I have made reservation earlier as I heard all the sayings that Luna was always full booked, but when we reached there, the place was almost empty although I did see quite names on the reservation list, and yes the place start too filled up while we were eating. 

Entering Luna, there's a wine cellar on the left side and passing through the bar, we were guided to the dining tables. The place was nicely decorated, with bricks and dark woods where they put two big plastic trees in the center and there were big silver balls hanging between the trees. I loved the ambiance and how they design it. It immediately took place in my heart.

Like all Italian bistro, we were given complimentary bread while we ordering. Luna served cuisine from Italian, Asian to Western, however the waiter told us that their specialty was Italian. We decided to have Pizza Calzone (92k) and a Tiramisu (48k) to shared. I ordered their Luna iced tea (25k). It was a homemade ice tea, black tea, black grass jelly with fresh mint leaf. I didn't like it, it was typical ice tea and the grass jelly was too thick to be drank using the straw only. However, I loved both the pizza and tiramisu. The value of the presentation and taste was equally balanced... in a positive way. Pizza calzone was a clam shapped pizza with the stuffing inside consisted of smoked beef, sauted mushroom, tomato sauce and mozzarella. The pizza dough was baked perfectly, not too thick, not too thin with a perfect seasoned for the stuffing. The mushrooms were delicious. While the tiramisu was a very smooth melted in your mouth type of dessert. 

 

In my opinion, Luna surely earned the right to be one of the must visit dining place.

HOME

I'm back!

Every time I went on traveling, no matter where, no matter how fun was it. Still, no place beats home. The feeling popped every time I step in to home after going abroad was the best. As much excited I was for each buying trip I had, didn't hide the fact that I hate flying. I never like plane, I am not phobia of height but I just always get nauseous if I am in plane. I can't stand the inflight meal smells, I can't stand to sit in the middle seat, so I always took the aisle seat, I can't stand the long hours. When I was a kid, Doraemon was one of my regular show, and up until now I am still wishing if I could have his "pintu kemana aja". The imagination if I could go anywhere abroad without taking a plane. 

My former boss is a Singaporean, as a Regional Country Manager, he's in charge on branches in several countries which requires him to travel frequently. He once told me he travels around 120+ times in a year! Gosh, I can't imagine if I was in his shoes.  

This last buying trip, we took a red eye for our return flight and it was delayed for an hour due to heavy rain. After they decided that it was ok to fly, during the flight, the plane was having major turbulence. It was not a minor only a minute turbulence, it was big! and keep on coming every second in about half an hour, and when I looked at the window, there were thunders. I was freaking out. There was a pregnant stewardess on the plane, working. She was 6 months pregnant and I kept on looking at her during the turbulence, yet she was so calm... that also calms me down a bit. I was so relief we landed safely.

Anyway, I haven't unpacked. I was not feeling quite well during my buying trip. I guess I was too exhausted before and during the trip.So I will be hibernating first for a day before start the photo shoot for CLOSET 5. Stay tune! =)

October's Buying Trip

The past few days really make me realized that as a human, we can plan but it is up to Him whether the plan can be delivered or not. Last week I have been very busy. I just launched Lemon's CLOSET 4 and bless me that it was well responded. After the week, I thought that I will have couple of relaxing days before my buying trip. I have planned two lunch dates with couple friends of mine, a manicure pedicure session and a relaxing back massage. But as I said, we can plan but it's all up to Him. Something came up, got me so occupied that all those plans above sadly need to be cancelled. 

So now here I am, Saturday night... less than 24 hours before my flight, haven't packed, tense shoulders with a 3 weeks old pedicure. What a mess!

Anyway, enough writings. Start packing. Hopefully tomorrow I can still have a nice brunch before rushing to airport. I'll be off until the 6th, back with tons of great stuffs for Lemon *finger crossed*. Wait for my CLOSET 5 soon to be launched at http://www.facebook.com/lemon.onlineshop.

Cheers and Gud nite!
