Have Perut Will Travel...: BDO Day 2 │ Cihampelas Walk!

The Shopping Finale

We picked you up again after hailing a fixed fare Bluebird taxi for IDR43,000 (≈ MYR12/USD3/EUR3) to our final shopping destination of the day: Cihampelas Walk Mall (Ciwalk).

We arrived at 1:30pm and, famished, made a beeline for Dapur Solo. After a quick scan of the menu, we ordered:

Nasi Timbel Sunda (steamed rice wrapped in banana leaf)
Urap Sayur (steamed vegetable salad)
Sop Bontot (oxtail soup)
White Rice
2 Iced Lemongrass

Total: IDR272,580 (≈ MYR74/USD17/EUR16).

While eating, we befriended Intan and her mother at the next table. We chatted, laughed, and exchanged Instagram pages — a lovely little Bandung moment.

Exploring Ciwalk

After settling the bill, we began exploring Ciwalk properly. We eventually found a gelato stall and tried a medium cup combining Blackpink and Cookies flavours for IDR40,000 (≈ MYR9/USD2/EUR2).

We wandered a bit more before heading out to Jalan Cihampelas, hunting for a leather belt. I eventually settled on a double sided belt for IDR490,000 (≈ MYR133/USD30/EUR29). Much later did I only realise that I fell victim to a scam: the belt was not made of leather, and the buckle fell apart months later!

We continued browsing in search of a leather jacket for Brendan, but the prices — IDR1,400,000 to IDR1,800,000 — were a little steep. Plus, guessing his size was nearly impossible since every design had different measurements.

Final Treats & Heading Back

We walked back to Ciwalk and bought two slices of cake from Chateraise for IDR118,000 (≈ MYR32/USD7/EUR7).

Then we hailed our final fixed fare Bluebird taxi of the day — IDR43,000 (≈ MYR12/USD3/EUR3) — back to the Airbnb.

Step count for Day 4: 12,672.
