At Rumah Mode Bandung, West Java, various types of famous and original brands are sold cheaply. On the last Chinese lunar holidays (Imlek), the area was visited by many foreign tourists, especially from China.
Concerns about the corona outbreak did not reduce the number of tourists from China to shop for cheap and quality clothing. Only towards the end of January 2020, many Chinese tourists began to leave Indonesia after the corona case was increasingly alarming.
When shopping at Rumah Mode, a family of female employees from Japan is about to pay at the cashier. The pile of clothes they bought was mounting in front of the cashier's desk. When they want to pay, the total expenditure is only Rp3.8 million or around 271 USD.
When they saw the nominal, the Japanese family was shocked and they decided to go back shopping. They did not expect the cost to be very cheap. Perhaps only a pair of clothes if they shop in Tokyo which is one of the most expensive cities in the world.
Okay. This is not an article about fashion. We are discussing culinary that can be reached because it is still a complex in Rumah Mode. After tired of shopping with my daughter, we stopped at Java Bean Coffee.
We ordered two servings of rice, one serving of goat tongseng, one portion of oxtail soup, and two servings of English Ice Breakfast, and a bottle of mineral water.
The cool weather of the city of Bandung is perfect for ordering warm food such as tongseng goats. Goat meat is cooked thoroughly, it feels soft, as if immediately destroyed in one chew.
The impact of goat meat that makes the body warm, immediately doused with ice English Breakfast, even though we were enjoying lunch.
In the holiday season, Rumah Mode is very crowded, including in Java Bean. And when visitors boom, the quality of service decreases. This is indeed an obstacle in many restaurants. However, service quality should not be decreased because they are used to facing such conditions.
Our order arrived on the table after waiting almost 40 minutes. Is that long for you?
I think it's a long time so several times I reminded the waiter about our order that had not arrived yet. And when it comes, it turns out that not all orders arrive at the same time. So when my daughter is eating, I have to wait and when my food arrives on the table, my daughter has finished.
In addition, our patience is tested when waiting for a taxi. In the holiday season, there are lots of visitors and we wait for almost an hour to wait for a taxi to arrive until it makes me sleepy because I'm already tired of shopping.
Beyond that problem, we really enjoy Java Bean because it combines fashion and culinary shopping places in one place. Come there for shopping and culinary hunting. Maybe you want to come back like us.[]
