Warung Bancaan Mang Barna & Bi O'om





Last week I went to Bandung on Official duties to have some meetings with some customers. Nothing special with the meeting it self unless it always talks about how you may offer better solution to the customers and maintaining relationship with them. But the interesting part is about lunch.

Having lunch in a “Ramadhan” like this is a bit un-easy since some of out colleague are Moslem and they are not able to company us for lunch. But well, we still need some lunch don’t us? So, after getting some good reference from our local staff, we decided to try-out on “Warung Bancaan Mang Barna & Bi O'om”, located on Jl. Trunojoyo 62, Bandung, just next to sambara Resto, one of fine-dine Sundanese Restaurant.






It is a bit contradiction seeing two sundanese restaurant side-by-sides, while the first restaurant offering modern atmosphere and the other one offering the original sundanese. We are not to keen to go into Sambara at this time, and straight go into the other one.

It is a really traditional, the interior is quiet modest, with lot of long dining table that may accommodate about 10 people each, you may find few “lesehan” place in the corner, go into the edge of the restaurant is the main attraction of the place. This is where the preserve sundanese food ready to eat were display in attractive manner. In the other edge you may find a ‘salty fish corner’ where lot of dry-marinated fish display in a table, and you may pick-up what you want and ask the butler to fry it for you. There also a “Es Goyobod” and “Es Cincau” corner that will made by order.





The other unique things are we have to use tin plate & cup to get our meal. This tin thing was quiet rare to see recently, it was very popular when I was a kid.

So here we are, we pick-up what we want and have to go to cashier table and they will record all things that you take, before you may go for meal. You do not have to pay it that time; they will ask you for having your meal before paying.

That’s the hospitality of this place.

Anyway, there’s too many ‘unusual sundanese’ dish that I do not know the name, but you may see it on the photograph. But one thing that I can say, It is a good meal indeed.
