Lovely trip to Puncak

My lovely trip to Puncak , West Java

Day 1

Naik naik ke puncak gunung... senang senang sekali...

after several years, a trip to Puncak, West Java, still worth the traffic ..:) 

I know the traffic to Puncak kinda 'messy' nowadays, especially around market and on the weekend, but only 1,5 half hour from Jakarta and we still could feel the -very- nice view, fresh air, and many things that can make us happy (and our tummy happy..) so ..why not? :)

Somehow, trip ke Puncak bisa benar-benar menyenangkan.. karna di sini mama papa hepi anaknya juga hepi :D perjalanan kali ini tentunya tidak dilakukan pada hari Puncak macet gela,, tapi pada hari Kamis.. dan tempat- tempat favorit di Puncak yang dikunjungi adalah..

1. Restoran Cimory , Puncak, Jawa Barat

I just love the food and the view. They served tasty western food and Indonesian food, and got the best blueberry milkshake in Puncak..! Yoghurt and milk are their specialities, so you should try or buy it in their little shop.  Their cheese stick is not bad either.. they have playground for children, so u don't have to worry if ur lil' one got bored.

and this is it.. my favorite blueberry milk shake 

:)

2.  Taman Safari Puncak, Cisarua Bogor

in my honest opinion, Taman Safari Cisarua Bogor is gettin' better and better, with reasonable price (Rp 85.000,-) , you could experience so many things, from get in touch with animals right from your own car (you could touch 'em -in your own risk-except at the lion and bear cage- and you could feed them although this is not recommended, many people sell carrots and vegetables beside the road right before Taman Safari), swimming at the water park, see the Curug Jaksa waterfalls , animal attraction, circus, and playground for your little one.  

You could ride an elephant, camel or pony (pony ride only suitable for young children) for only Rp 10.000,- .  On weekdays it is not too crowdy on the inside, but there are still lots of local and arab tourists.

3.  Royal Safari Garden

This is the hotel where I stayed for two nights. What I love about this place; they have their own attractions, animals and games, so actually, you don't have to go anywhere if you wanted to. (they're part of Taman Safari group, so you could have discount for your taman safari entrance tickets, it's Rp 60.000,- from the normal price Rp 85.000,-)

They have they're own bird park, mini golf, camel and pony rides, mini golf, playground and water parks, even organic vegetables park.

I didn't choose the cottage because there was only me, my hubby and my baby, so there were no air conditioner in my room, but it didn't matter because the air was still cool.

But actually the food (for breakfast) is standard, but they provide quite many variation for breakfast.  Your children will love the restaurant because there's a lion -jaguar- in the restaurant (no kidding) and you could take a picture with parrots.

This is the right place for family, anyway, If you're lookin' for some other hotel with cheaper price, Puncak still has lots of motels.

4. What to eat in Puncak ? (wisata kuliner di Puncak)

except for Cimory, actually there are still lots of yummy restaurant at Puncak.  and yes, they're all very affordable! Just in front of the Royal Garden Safari hotel there's a very yummy satay restaurant. (depannya hotel royal safari garden ini satenya enak bener, tapi emang ga semurah di jakarta ya, 30 ribuan gitu, tapi porsi gedee dan enaak). 

And if you're lookin for some local food, still near the royal garden safari hotel, there's a yummy ribs soup (sop iga enak) , chicken porridge, chicken noodle and Padang food. 

And if you're not into local food, still near the hotel (walk) there's Pizza hut and fried chicken restaurant. and also KFC (about 1 km from the hotel).

Some quite popular local restaurants are Raffles and Rindu Alam.. but it's been years since my last visit to both the restaurant.

5. Last but not least, the most important thing I have to do (and I think everybody got to do) in Puncak is..

watch the sunset at the Puncak pass, while eating grilled-corn and drink sekoteng (local drink). Heaven !!!

Akhir kata, maapin grammarnya yang mbelgedes..:)) 

Have a happy happy holiday!
