Several place we visited for lunch and dinner. All places have their uniqueness, so far we love the food and the ambience they offer.
La Costilla
New spot in Bandung, a cute cafe with this iconic pink cactus wall that very insta-worth for taking pictures. Located at Karangsari, a step away from Jalan Setiabudi. They offer an affordable casual dining, combination of modern Western food with Spanish twist flavour.
Their specialty in baby back ribs, so we ordered one and the taste is da bomb, with their sweet spicy BBQ sauce. The problem is just the ribs still have too many small and fine bones stick to the ribs.
We also ordered the aromatic tenderloin and baked potato soup. Both of them are superb.

Another cute newly opened place in Bandung. Dominated with white, pink, and light green colour that really perfect for background of your photo. They have downstairs and upstairs, you can choose wherever you like to be seated. For outdoor area, there's backyard and small place in front of the entrace. Menu in here dominated with western menu. Because we're not really hungry, we only order their dessert, molten lava cake. They served it nicely and the chocolate filling totally melted. Love it. Maybe next I should try their main course.

KenKen Bigul Kitchen
For pork lovers in Bandung, you might know this place. Yes it's KenKen Bigul kitchen. The place filled with cute posters about porks, and they served many choice of pork dishes in western and Indonesian style, you choose. But they're famous for it's suckling pork of course.
Everytime we came to Bandung, we absolutely will go to this place. As their flavour and taste is very fit with our appetite. We ordered Nasi Bigul Special and Nasi Bagor with additional Sate Samchan as always.
Their spicy is very unique almost same with Balinese' suckling pig. The sambal matah is also my favorite, it's very spicy but in a good way.

Congo Cafe
Famous for it's solid wood gallery and cafe, we tried to had our early dinner here. The concept was design so fascinating that feels like we're in the middle of jungle, full of trees.
There's two separated building for people to choose, indoor and outdoor. We picked the outdoor place, viewing to their another indoor building. The weather is quite windy so if you're planning to sit outdoor it's better to bring light jacket here. Other than that two building, they also have one place for the wood gallery that you can visit.
