Day 2


HummingBird+Hartwood

We end up only using Bathroom of Hummingbird. Due to massive troops we got, we are not able to get the seat and end up going to Hartwood.

We Fortunately see a glance of the magical of hummingbird. First impression: Cute and Girly. Our group sat around a bit to see the food they served and all the decoration they got. we can tell that they want a perfection. The Concept of the Dining Hall is amazing. and i saw some food that they served. The Plating, Food Placement and Condiments saucer are carefully selected to give a very nice presentation. the ambience is very very nice. to bad we don't get a chance to try the food but we definitely will try em on our next visit to Bandung.

HARTWOOD
First Impression: Classy and Elegant Place to hang out. it consist of two part of dining area. Outside with full glass window with black frame. and inside with white rustic brick. the Design was exceptionally nice and the food are International western.  i tried a Chicken Salad and BLT Sandwich. also tried some of Chicken Penne Cream, Salmon Cake and Fish&Chips.          

Overall Food taste is Good and Well Cooked. The Price is Surprisingly cheap. with the result of the Ingredients of the food being low and cheap. What i really praise is how they make a good use of cheap material and produce a good taste. in example, they use regular National Brand of Cheddar cheese and Margarine in substitute of butter .

Salmon cake: Breadcrumbs Composition dominate the cake while the salmon meat smells fishy maybe because they use frozen Salmon. (frozen one tend to be more fish in my experience)
Chicken salad and BLT Sandwich: the Value is good. that means the Chicken meat is thick enough to not make us disappointed and the taste is fair. The BLT sandwich is  Good the chicken is juicy ( while usually other restaurant serve freakingly dry Chicken breast) and the vegetables, mayo and the cheese compliment each other nicely.
Fish and Chips: Nothing new.same old same old.

One other Plus Point is the Interior is nicely decorated. Our narcism level is getting higher over there supported by the heavy rain that hold us there :p

 Supper @ Takigawa Sky Meat Bar.
Late Night at Dago Area,  we tried the newest Place in Bandung. i believe they open around end of October 2012.
The Location is Super OOOWESOME! double O no A !
its like Build a whole 5 Floor Building and make only the 4th and 5th as the dining area in order the customer can feel the Sky concept.
i will Give 11 out of 10 for the Location.

the downside is the Material inside. In my opinion the Inside matrial (in this case wooden Floor and Wall, Decoration) did not match with the Awesome structure they build. its like they spend all their money to erect it but no left money to decorate.
The Takigawa Mostly Japanese Food. in this Place they add Meat bar concept and serve steak and other western food. the Japanese didnt match perfectly with the concept but the  Meat bar section helps a little. I expect more Sophisticated food and Decorations.

Food i tried is Japanese Rolls Fair Price and taste. a Chahan ( is a Japanese Fried Rice)  with seafood; Fair taste, small portion.
Mushroom cream Soup; The best food i have that night. Flavorful  and thick. Served hot.
I also tried chicken Katsu Ramen. kindda weird taste. Sweet and Salty dashi-Soya sauce taste ramen Broth.  lastly the salmon spaghetti with salmon roe. the Price is cheap. thats maybe why i can count the salmon roe. its Seven ( if you know what i mean)

Overall: Good Place to hangout.Superb view of Bandung city not a place to eat.
