Both are located in the same building, Sweet Belly is part of https://www.thespotdelict.com/ Suki. Take place at the shady Jalan Lombok, close to Gudeg Banda. How I miss this city with its small road, less traffic than Jakarta. As the last time, stayed at Hilton Bandung that is just right if you’re into exploring culinary around Chinatown. This area is different, just a short turn from Riau street, honestly, got no idea about this place, but by the time I stepped in, yes so pretty, particularly outdoor seating area. Another cute spot, serving casual Korean food and suki, with a dessert cafe on terrace, interesting.
Chicken Kimbab – typical Korean rice rolls, consists of chicken, spinach, carrot, and pickled radish. Accompanied by soy sauce. Portion was extremely generous, got twelve pieces of kimbab. Tasty filling though I was expecting stronger sesame oil flavor.
Perhaps I should try some other savory dishes, but it was too early. I was eyeing on their ice cream display ever since the time I came in, so many flavor to choose, from Thai tea to classic vanilla. Did manage to order the salted caramel to end up the meal, in fact that I had Cheese Shaved Ice earlier, for not-a-sweet toothed person, assessed desserts here were quite acceptable. Personally, I like it that there was boba in my cup, and sweetened adzuki bean which was surprisingly well-matched with cheesecake ice cream.
Nothing to complain but the service, the cashier girl at Sweet Belly was not too friendly though I don’t mind. Well a little smile would be nice. I’d like to go back to try suki, probably near in the future, and certainly to grab a scoop of ice cream.
I spent more times in Bandung lately, doing my food video thing here. Packed – tight schedules is killing me, definitely need a break. After finishing 22 videos (yes that’s a lot), we decided to go to a new coffee shop located in Jalan Progo, an area that already filled with cafes and coffee shops. Sejiwa Coffee, sounds very local though, the place is quite modern, spacious, ground for the non-smoking, upstairs for smoking. You know that I’m not a coffee person but I do drink coffee sometimes not everyday, and always go for something cold, like the Iced Creme Brulee Latte (IDR 38.000)
I’ve heard from some of my friends that the service getting worse on weekend, they waited the order for an hour but I hope it will get better. Anyway, talking about the menu, from all day breakfast to smoothie bowl, pasta to salad, we got The Megs (IDR 35.000) creamy – mayo based salad topped with feta and fried potato skin. Truffle Fries (IDR 30.000) it’s 200 grams of shoestring potato, crispy beef bacon and cheese on top, but definitely need more truffle oil. Lastly, Pesto Pasta (IDR 40.000) with grilled chicken and garlic bread, well true that it’s a classic choice, I was craving for pasta anyway but really they have a lot more to choose.
