It was December 19,2017, the last day I attended the conference on Adult Education in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. After sunset, I called my friend, Mr. Attamimi who lives in Bandung, because we had made a promise the day before. I just wanted to make sure if he would come to take me for going around Bandung city. When I called him, he directly answered that he was on the way to the hotel where I stayed. I just waited for several minutes then he arrived at the gate of the hotel.
He opened the window of his car by greeting me and my friend who were the same program. I jotted into the car and used the seatbelt. He welcome us warmly and I was happy because we had been long not meeting each other. So, it was a good moment for us.
As the guest, he wanted to serve me. He drove the car and headed to a restaurant for dinner. I myself did not know much about the direction in Bandung. So, I just let him took me anywhere he wanted. Yeah, he knew everything in Bandung.
Because it was the time for dinner, we tried to find a restaurant, but we saw a place where we could enjoy the drink first. The drink was the local drinks that can make our body warm. They call it bandrex. We enjoyed it while chatting.
After enjoying the drink, we decided to find another place for dinner. We went around Bandung city then stopped at a famous opened restaurant with local tastes.
Soon we arrived at the restaurant, we saw many people sitting inside enjoying their dinner. We tried to get a seat where we could sit and finally when two guests finished their dinner, we grabbed the seat and placed it.
When placing the seat, I was surprised to see various things on the table. There are many kinds of servings we can choose which depends on our own appetite. We can order rice with various choices of fish and vagetable provided. All of the stuffs are hot and warm that we could enjoy the taste and chilly souce which made hot and our body wet with sweat.
When we order fish and other vegetables, they collect and then fried or baked. The vegetables are not cooked, we will eat the fresh vegetables as sundanese like to do. I felt that eating dinner at this Willy restaurant was very nice. I hope one day I can come and enjoy the foods.
Dinner done, we decided to go around Bandung, but the time was very short we could not go to the supermarket. As usual, anytime we go abroad, we bring home some souvenirs and we have to ask again at the they like.
