Sam's Strawberry Corner - My Favorite Noodle Restaurant in Bandung

Sam's Strawberry Corner has always been one of my favorite restaurant in Bandung. It's located on Jalan Dago (near to Sheraton Bandung Hotel). I know this place from my Malaysian friend who tried the noodles during his visit to Bandung and I became a fan of this restaurant after my first visit.

They started this as a cafe in Bandung 14 years ago which sells fresh Strawberry Juice. And they has expanded their business through franchising and have some outlets in Jakarta now. I have been once to the outlet in Karawaci. 

They are famous for their home made noodles (we call it bakmi or mie in Indonesia) and their fresh strawberry juice. For the noodles itself, they have 2 types... salty and sweet (they called it yamin). I personally like the sweet one. It's sweet because they use sweet sauce (we call it kecap in Indonesia). Both types of noodles comes with shredded chicken. And you can add meatbals (we call it bakso in Indonesia), dumpling (we call it pangsit in Indonesia), beef tripe (we call it babat in Indonesia), chicken feed (we call it ceker in Indonesia), or the combination of them. The price for the noodle is from Rp. 22.000,- to Rp. 50,000,- depends on the topping you would like to add. 

For the strawberry juice, you can have it either with milk or without milk. The one with milk is the one which color is more pinkish than another one. The price for a glass of stawberry juice is Rp. 17.000,-. They also have strawberry juice with lychee which is quite popular too but I personally haven't tried it.

Other than that, they also serve some other Bandung's famous dish like siomay and batagor. Batagor is abbreviation from Bakso Tahu Goreng (fried meatball and tofu). Batagor is actually fried type of siomay. And both of them are served with peanut souce and sweet souce (kecap). For this time round we ordered batagor. You can order by peace and the price for 1 peace is Rp. 10.000,-.

Soto Ayam Ambengan Pak Sadi - The Best World Street Food

Singapore hold World Street Food Congress in June 2013. This event is designed to reward 20 best street food in the world. And Soto Ayam Ambengan Pak Sadi was announced as the best! Don't you want to try it?

Source : Kompas

He started selling Soto Ayam in 1971 and his first stall was in Ambengan Surabaya which now become the name of one of popular local dish from Indonesia "Soto Ayam Ambengan". Twelve years after that, he decided to name his restaurant as Soto Ayam Ambengan Pak Sadi. Now, he have 15 outlets across Indonesia.

As how he named the restaurant as, this restaurant is known for the Soto Ayam (Chicken Soto) which is very taste with his own secret recipe. You can choose what kind of Soto Ayam you want to order (from chicken only, chicken with skin, chicken with egg, etc) But I personally like Soto Madura Daging (Beef Soto) more... Accompanied by the Sate Ayam (Chicken Satay) and kerupuk (crackers)... Yummmyyyy... One bowl of Soto cost you around IDR 30,000 - 40,000. For you who dont eat so much rice, you can choose to mix the rice with the Soto (they will give a little rice and you dont need to pay for the rice). Or you can order rice or lontong separately which cost you IDR 6,000. 10 pcs of Sate Ayam cost you IDR 23,000.

Christy Pudding - The Best Pudding in Town!!

Chocolate Pudding is my favorite dessert... And if you like Pudding, you have to try these pudding from Christy Pudding! They have huge selections of pudding in any flavors you like... Chocolate, Caramel, Tropical Fruit, Blueberry, Cappuccino, Green Tea, Mocca, Mango, Strawberry, and Durian... The ready-to-eat pudding are available in 2 sizes : Small (which cost you IDR 9,000) and Medium (which cost you IDR 11,000) but you can also order different sizes you want. 

Other than the pudding above, they also have traditional pudding which is mixed with coconut milk. There are 5 flavors for traditional pudding : Coconut, Cendol, Tape, Lychee, and Nata de Coco. These also available in 2 sizes with same price with the regular pudding. But as they dont have this available in the store everyday, you should order in advance if you want to buy these puddings. 

Other than pudding, Christy Pudding also sell Chocolate, Pastel Tutup, and Fruit Salad. I havent tried any of these so I will share with you once I have tried them... :)
