Desa Bumbu

One of our favorite places to “escape” is one restaurant called “Desa bumbu”; we’ve been here so many times so that one of the receptionists recognizes my wife straight away once she appears in the front desk. As usual, before we arrive on that place my wife give them a call to reserve a gazebo to secure our “booking place”.

Departed a bit late from Jakarta, and have very heavy traffic jam after “Bumi Rancamaya Gate” up to Tapos Junction caused by “heavy road damage” made us arrive a bit late, but just nice since we came down after lunch time so that the place is not to crowded.

We got very nice gazebo, just at the edge of the yard corner, facing the small wood that has bunch of large tree and small padi field at the other end, just on top of the fish pond that may used to have fun fishing. But unfortunately, we may not get the fishing rot; everything is use-up since the morning.

Well, we may not get a change to fishing, but still lot of other activity can do, so here we are. Lay our back and do the best for relax in the gazebo while watching our kids play running around from Forrest to the Rice-padi field, trying to catch some grass hopers.

As usual, we order their specialty of “Ikan Bakar” that you will never found in other place, very unique, “pepes peda”, “tumis bunga papaya” this is a new stuff, we never found this menu before, “Ayam bakar” – standard for Nathan and several “sundanese dish” plus traditional “pisang goring” and the unique “pisang goring saus nenas” – this one is very delicious.

It is a nice place for take a short relax, except you should have to pass the ‘tapos junction’ that has heavy traffic jam, but you may have another alternative road trough “Batu Tulis” Bogor, off course you will facing another traffic jam once you get-out from Bogor Tol Gate along Pajajaran Road.

The Choice is yours. ………………………..
