BUBAR-BAKSOS-KULINER!!!

things that you usually do when you are Indonesian, in a fasting month..
Well, not all Indonesian, usually the more fortunate moslem-and sometimes people who aren't moslem too- will add charity work to their agenda on the special get together on the fasting month, which usually consist of breaking the fasting day and sometimes sahur (to eat before dawn, to prepare the body for fasting all day)..

Yesterday, me and my group of friends done exactly that..
We started eating at maghrib on Achie's place, as she celebrating her birthday yesterday, there were quite a lot of people there..

After we finished eating, there was gossip and laughter that were thrown to the air, when you're a 20-something person, and most of your friends have already get a job, this is a very special occasion, a reunion with your friends that you haven't been seeing in months..

Then, at 9 pm, we started to separate 60 kg of rice, 50 cans of sardines, 50 cans of condensed milk, and 100 pieces of instant noodles into 50 separate bags, for the charity work. Initially we wanted to go to faraway place, called pangalengan or cililin to get a hands-on with the earthquake victim, but we just finished our bag separating at 11, so we decided to just going around the town to find somebody who really needs it, and we put our leftover money on some victim center for the earthquake..

We stroll around the city, from dago, to alun-alun, to tegalega, there were 3 cars in to convoy, so it supposedly easy to cope right? But the real thing happening is that we were having a hard time to just stick together and not letting any car get left behind..

The to the interesting part...
The culinary trip of Bandung Night feasts!

1. first we ate mi Acik (Bakmi Tasik), it is located on Gardujati Street-you should try to find AVIS tailor neon box, it's directly under that..
it was a noodle, a yamien, with homemade noodle,n the noodle is thick and kinda chewy, with a hot chilli to match! superbbb (Rp17rb-USD 1.7/bowl)

2. then in the same street we walk a little bit further to eat ketan hitam (black sticky rice soup with coconut juice), it's sticky, it's sweet' and it's warm, perfect for late night snack! (5rb-50 cent/bowl)

3. after the sweets, then we drove to a nearby station (St Hall) to eat perkedel bondon. Perkedel is a bite size-potato ball-deepfried dish, and bondon is a prostitute, why it was called that? Maybe because the St Hall, is not only the Station for public transport, but also the Station for whores back then.. (Rp1000-10 cents/piece), super yummy, with the crispy outside crust, and oh-so-soft and warm inside!!

After those 3 places we get to, our stomach just can't hold anymore food, so we decided to get home and get some sleep, there's no other need for sahur, as our trip is overwhelmingly stuffed our stomach, hehehee

i post the pictures later, it's still on my friends digicam
