Bergamot coffe & resto bandung

Hi, everyone.
Went to Bergamot Coffee & Resto by Sawo at Jalan Sutami Bandung earlier this day for lunch. We pass Bergamot Bandung almost everyday (the place is very near to our home) since they start the construction so we were excited to finally get to try Bergamot Bandung.

Upon entering you will be greeted with waterfall and greenery which makes really great first impression.
After that, Bergamot Bandung has one open space which creates a freeing feeling. The concrete flooring gives a cool modern vibe. And the wood ceiling balances it with inviting warmth. Overall, a very modern feel.

I do love the use of mirrors at the ceiling. Very gen Z.

Bergamot Bandung has a 2nd floor which has air conditioning. 1st floor is an open space so it is hotter but you do get some refreshing breeze every now and then so I think 1st floor would be great to get some fresh air.

The 2nd floor area was cool when we check it out so props to the owner because with all the glass on four corners, it can turn to a hot glass house situation real quick.

This is the outdoor area on the 2nd floor.
I do love the curving wall. Very chic & sleek.

We ordered Peach Iced Tea (Rp 30k) and it was your regular peach iced tea. Nothing special.

My husband ordered Nasi Goreng Kampung (Rp 38k) and it was so good. As good as you’ll get in your favorite nasi goreng right down the street. They got the smokey and sweet and salty flavor in perfect balance. And for the price, really worth it.

I ordered Tagliatelle Ilfungi Bisteqa (Rp 69k).
In my knowledge, I think they use Saikoro beef since it has the distinctive cube shape of Saikoro beef.
These cubes are often made from Wagyu beef, known for its marbling and tenderness. Saikoro beef is popular in Japan and is often used in dishes like rice bowls as a topping.

The beef is tender but I did expected sirloin or tenderloin slices as that’s how a bistecca is usually serve. But since is is a bisteqa and not exactly bistecca, I guess that’s fair.
The dish is delicious. The pasta was al dente. The mushroom sauce was perfectly seasoned. And the beef cubes were tender. So no complains really! I think for the price, you can’t really complain.

Review Bergamot resto bandung

Drinks came out really fast.
Food came out fast as well, we were busy taking pics for about 15 minutes and when we got back to our table, both dishes were already served. Color me impressed.
For a trial opening, Bergamot Bandung is doing well.

I do think they could expand their dessert choices tho. Nothing interesting here.

Review Bergamot bandung

Overall we had a nice time would def come back with my parents since they do have an elevator! Which is nice for old people who doesn't have much of mobility. Is it wheelchair friendly? I guess small wheelchair and baby stroller fits just fine.

Review Bergamot bandung

My only complain is we were left standing for a good 3 minutes before I actually approach the girl behind the counter to ask if I can just sit since no one were there to take us to our table when there were three perfectly capable waiters just standing there

Alamat Bergamot resto bandung

Parking is medium. I suggest go with small car if you have one. Also, no one were there to guide parking! The one guy with the uniform was just chatting away until the other one who where on the phone notice our car. We kept calling the one who were chatting to ask where we can park (parking area looks full) but I guess he didn’t hear us. The one who were on the phone finally got us our parking spot by moving a cone.

Pipinos bandung

Hi, everyone.
Went to Pipinos Bakery, Bandung last weekend. We arrived at Pipinos Bandung on a Saturday around 11.30 AM so place was actually quite empty but there were a few other patrons already at their table.
My first impression of Pipinos Bandung is the place is very kitsch and very gen Z, which of course I don’t mind. I do love the green tile and the use of books as decoration. Also, Pipinos Bandung is spacious! I actually saw a one year old running around. The kid was half japanese and so kawaii.

Backyard area of Pipinos Bandung.

We ordered Long Life Drink (Rp 30k). 
It’s a lemon, honey, and jamu spices drink. It was sweet and sour with a little bit of spiciness hit you at the end. Very refreshing!

Husband ordered Chicken Parmigiana Fettucine (Rp 60k). 
He loved it. You can also order half portion for Rp 48k.

I ordered Pesto Chicken Sandwich (Rp 48k) and also really enjoyed it. Personally it was a bit salty but just a tiny bit. Overall the pesto really complement the chicken. Oh, the chicken was tender too. And the sourdough was not too chewy.

We decided to order a tiramisu to share and this one is also delish! It’s not too sweet and perfectly creamy.

Overall we had a nice time. All the staff were helpful and kind. Our food and drink came out relatively fast. I think around 20 mins mark? We took some pics, got back to our seat, and in 5 minutes the staff delivered our food.
Parking was kinda small. But not bad. Can still fit around 8 cars.
You can come in group, there is one long table so make sure to book ahead; but definitely no more than 10 people. 

Pipinos Bakery
Jl. Ciumbuleuit No. 85, Hergamanah, Bandung.
Open from 7 AM to 8 PM Sunday to Thursday
And from 7 AM to 10 PM Friday and Saturday

Homeground restaurant bandung

Hi, everyone.
Went to a recently opened hot spot called Homeground Restaurant Bandung a few days ago. We went to Homeground Restaurant Bandung on a Saturday for lunch. We didn’t book ahead and thankfully got a table right away. We arrived at Homeground Restaurant Bandung around 11.30 AM and saw a few empty tables but soon the tables were filled by patrons.


Christmas Outfit Ideas 2024

Hi, everyone. 
Christmas is just around the corner. In two weeks we will celebrate Christmas so I thought I’d share with you a few Christmas outfit ideas for 2024. Last year Christmas Outfit Ideas I was really focused on lady jacket but this year apparently I really lean towards cardigans for Christmas outfit ideas 2024. 
Anyway, without further ado, here are 6 Christmas Outfit Ideas for 2024.

Christmas Outfit Ideas 2024

Starting out with my favorite look from all 6 Christmas Outfit Ideas, it’s a black and white dress. I added the three ribbon pins to make the outfit more festive.

Second outfit is pretty simple!
A green cardigan with a pleated mini skirt. 
A playful look perfect for casual outings.

Third look is my 2nd favorite outfit with the burgundy midi skirt. It’s a very demure look perfect for church or office setting.

Fourth look is something I put on for strolling around the Christmas decor stores. Would be great for Christmas shopping with the comfy red flats.

Fifth look is the only outfit with a lady jacket. Unlike last year where I wore three (LOL).
I really love the red & green color together. Super festive
