Tofu Heaven in Warung Talaga

Tired  and hungry. We decided to go to a small restaurant that has a special menu. Tofu (tahu). The restaurant always use tofu in almost their menu. They change a tofu, our traditional food, into a delicious taste and creative look. This restaurant is  Warung Talaga. The restaurant offers traditional food in the menu. Warung Talaga is presented by Yun Sen Tofu, which is very well-known since 1938 in Bandung. 

We ordered some meals and beverages.  I ordered “Cihu” and Soy Milk. The “cihu” is very spicy for me and succesfully made me cry. Hahaha...Eating “Cihu” was like riding rollercoaster.  Savira also ordered a spicy tofu, it is “ tahu peureum beunta ”. She ate it with rice.  “tahu peureum beunta” really made our eyes blinked often because of it very spicy taste. It’s also super crispy.  Moy ordered “tahu bletok”, which was not spicy. The sauce was soy sauce. It’s also delicious.

As usual, we give a point to our meal....ok...here we are....

Tahu Peureum Beunta 8,5 ponts

Tahu Bletok 8,5 points
(by the way....this is mouthwatering :P)

Cihu 8 points

The place is unique, ethnic, and traditional. Go to here was like going back to year 1980's for me.  You can find a rare stuff which was popular in that year 1980's or long before the year 1980,  for example  the plate (like you saw in the picture). It's made from tin. Too bad i didn't take the picture of the restaurant (forgot),  i also didn't bring my SLR (because went to here was unplanned), so i used  camera on my phone. I am sorry the picture is not maximum.  By the way, maybe you can visit its web ini here to see more menu.

Afternoon in Kedai Mie Dago

While Moy was busy with her work, Savira and I  went  to  “Kedai Mie Dago” which is located in Jl. IR. H. Juanda No 209.  Its special menu is noodle.  Savira and I ordered same meals, fried kwetiaw (fried rice noodle). But we ordered different beverages. I ordered Tape Juice which is actually this one made from fermented cassava. 

Tape (ta-peh)  is a fermented food, it can be made from cassava or black sticky rice or glutinous rice.  What i drank is fermented cassava. Its traditional name is “Peuyeum”. I think in the menu should be written Peuyeum Juice not Tape Juice.  The Juice was very delicious. It will bring back your childhood memories (if you're born in Bandung or staying in the city since childhood).

While i ordered Tape Juice, Savira ordered Orange Juice. But the Orange Juice  is too sour.  After all  we give point for the beverages.

Tape Juice : 9,5 points.

Orange Juice : 6 points.

Left to right : Tape Juice, Orange Juice

How about our meal? Well, i guess the fried kwetiaw was delicious, but Savira (who is a kwetiaw lover) said that it’s not as delicious as another fried kwetiaw in another restaurants. But then we decide points for the fried kwetiaw. It's 8 points.

Fried Rice Noodles

The location of the restaurant is strategic, near a traditional market. The place is pretty nice. Their serving time is average.  You can go to this place with your friends or family or client. 

The Interior

Pinky Blush

Today's fashion theme  is "Pinky Blush". Our friend, Moy, was so feminine wearing her gray long dress and mixed it with pink inner and shawl.This time Moy didn't wear too many accessories. She chose to modify her pinky shawl uniquely. Her shawl was modified with stack up some of small pleated at the right part of her shawl. The small pleated part made her look so cute and it wasn't monotone even though the clothes was plain.

The line that was bounded become a ribbon in her two shoulders which made her dress more cute. The only accessories that Moy picked was a pinky bracelet stone around her left hand and a black watch in the right side. 

Tips from us : if you dont have any patterned shawl that match with the clothes, you can modify your shawl , like Moy did. Ah, the last thing, most of the girls bring a bag or wallet, right?  We suggest you to wear a bag or wallet with the same colour with clothes or  pants or accessories, or shawl....so it'll look match well :)

Summer Collection on progress...

Hi, we are going to release our summer collection. We are working, just wait and see :)

Kahitna Band at Hijab Fest

The performance of Kahitna Band (sorry for the blur :( )

Cantik..Ingin rasa hati berbisik..Untuk melepas keresahan dirimu

Cantik..Bukan ku ingin mengganggumu..Tapi apa arti merindu..Selalu..

The lyrics sounds  familiar  isn't it? (Especially for Indonesian). Yup, that song titled "Cantik" sang by the everlasting band, Kahitna.

Kahitna is the band that originally from Bandung. They sang that song at the closing ceremony  of  the Hijab Festival Bandung several days ago.

Last tuesday until friday (12th-15th june 2012), there was an event. It is  Indonesian Hijab Festival 2012 in Sabuga Bandung. Of course! Celly, Savira and Moy didn't want to miss it.  Hahaha....

Celly and Savira focused in a fancy stuff like clothes, scarf, brooch, etc on previous post, and I attend the concert in the last day. The performance of Kathitna was so stunning!

All the Kahitna's fans are called "soulmate" and they're screaming so loud when Hedi Yunus, Carlo Saba, and Mario came from the backstage. Although their performance wasn't complete because the absent of the Yovie Widianto, their pianist, Kahitna was still stunning the audience who was dominated by the girl.

The three vocalist of Kahitna Band were so attractive and communicative with the audiences. Hot moment came up  when Carlo Saba pulled one of  the fans to the stage while singging "tak sebebas merpati" and she was hugged by all the vocalist. Suddenly all the soulmate was screaming out lout because they were envy....verrrrryyyyy. The lucky girl was came from Palembang and she's preparing for continuing her master degree in Bandung. How lucky she was? (we're sooo envious tooo :P)

 The Lucky Girl

That night, Kahitna was sang "Cerita Cinta", "Mantan Terindah", "Soulmate", "Untukku", "Katakan Saja", "Merenda Kasih", "Aku, Dirimu, Dirinya", and "Takkan Terganti:. I bet all the audiences was running out of energy since we sang all the song from the start. Let's say, karaoke with Kahitna Band...Lol.

 Carlo Saba

Well, Kahitna's performance was succesfully closing the Hijab Festival 2012 with a such athmosphere. But, eventhough the festival was over, we're still must the spirit doing hijab and make over own fashion right? Keep the spirit and do more creation girls! :)

Going to Hijab Fest 2012

Hi, yesterday I went to "First Indonesia Hijab Festival 2012" with Savira. The event was held in Sabuga, Bandung,  from 12-15 June. When we entered a parking lot, we saw a lot of women and several men in the area. Some of them carried shopping bags. And there was a car queue in a parking lot. After we got a parking, we went to the building and bought a ticket.  In the building, we found many vendors' stand ....and lot of people too. My eyes became big when i saw many cute dresses, accessories and shawls. Savira wanted a polka dot shawl so bad, while I  wanted to buy everything there, but of course it's impossible...hahaha...i only bought a purple chiffon shawl and a cute brooch made by Asri.

Cheeeeeseee :)

We walked from vendor to vendor to see their collections which were awesome, and stopped in a stage to see Zaskia Adya Mecca, one of Indonesian actress who wears hijab.

Customers.... aaw that polkadot top is cute!

One of the vendors 

1. cute hijab pin (it is very big);
 2. dress; 3. necklace; 4.feathers earings

Then took some pictures in Indonesia Hijab Fest booth. I saw many woman dressed very chick, modern and cute. But i and Savira didn't took their photos, unless this one, in hijab fest photo booth.

i don't know who you are, but you look cute and beautiful :)

Savira

This blue rose is not a brooch, but it is already sewed in my shawl.

DARE to Mix and Match Color!

Now we'll start "mix and match" color with a sweet one like Savira did. She named it  "Purple Brownish". Does it sound yummy? Hahaha..

She picked a light brown knee-length pleated skirt with a dark brown stripe at the bottom. In fact, that mixture makes the skirt looks simple but cute as the same time. The skirt has some ornament stuff like little button at the waist....it is for belt actually. Savira mixed the skirt with a dusty purple tank top which has pleated part at the bust. Cute isn't it ? To cover the hands, she wore a grey cardigan to add simple and polite look. Her simple necklace, gave a sweet touch to her appearance.


Savira mixed three colors together (brown, purple, and gray).  It doesn't matter if you want to mix some colours in your style as long as it isn't too much. Use some pastel color, or neutral color to balance your style so it gonna be looking good. Don't be afraid to express yourself with colorful clothing! Oh, I almost forgot, here's some other tips for you guys: don't ever mix  2 dark colors together because it'll make you so dull. Just balance it with a light colors. ^^  

Striped Black

Dark color hijab sometime make your skin looks dull. But if you can mix it with bright color dress, it will make your skin look brighter. For example is Celly’s outfit today. She wore black maxi dress  and striped top, which was dominated with grey. This grey color, which is lighter than black,  make her skin look brighter.  Black and grey combination will give a firm, mature, and elegant look. Small ribbon in the sleeves, make the top looks sweet.

You can wear black long skirt  for taller look, so you do not have to wear high heels. Choose a simple necklace if your top full of pattern. Celly wore a simple owl necklace, because she wore striped top.  Celly has a small body, so she chose this horizontal striped to make a volume in her body. But if you has a big body you should avoid this horizontal striped. Because its makes you look bigger.

Celly wore a plain color hijab, because she wore striped top. Tips for you, if your clothes full of pattern, wear plain hijab. But if you wear a plain color clothes, use hijab with full of pattern. I hope this is useful for you. 

Giggling time in Giggle Box

Well, since there are too many things to do and too little time, we decided to had a quality time by lunch together at one of the cute little cafe & resto in one of unique mall in Bandung Ciwalk.
