penjual sayur dan cabe (c) ukirsari

enjoy walking in the morning and say 'hi' to the locals who sells veggies and fruits in the bandungan market. fresh from the farmers and you can bargain a lot. but the market will be closed before 10.00 am.

nasi opor bandungan (c) ukirsari

beside nasi goreng [fried rice] you can have another option called nasi opor. opor is kinda light chicken curry and served with steam rice and several assortments. again, the taste bit different with jogjakartan opor :)

nasi goreng bandungan (c) ukirsari

there are many warung [simple resto] around bandungan. also pedestrian stalls. they offers you kind of local and ready-to-eat-soon meals [preparation and serving only takes about 10 minutes or less].

Favorite Dish: i start my bandungan exploration with a cup of tea [several friends of mine prefer hot fresh milk] and nasi goreng [fried rice]. yummy. the taste bit different compared with jakartan nasi goreng.

back from the market (c) ukirsari

there's nothing can be compared to 'jump' by yourself in the euphoria of flowers and veggies bargain early morning. it's a nice local market in the intersection of bandungan pleasant hill. everything fresh and so enchanting. and listening them offers you in a nice central javanese accent sounds very nice :)

What to buy: cut flowers and kind of veggies. from cauliflower to cabbage and spinach and chilli.

What to pay: idr50,000 looks enough

@rie at ambarawa train museum (c) budi sampurno

ambarawa-bandungan-gedung songo-ungaran are close to each other. so, do not miss to visit the old train station and museum koenig willem I. and if you're lucky enough, you can shared expenses with other guests to try an old carriage and train, made-in 1903 from jambu to bedono. more details in my ambarawa page.

misty candi gedung songo (c) ukirsari

hike up from bandungan at 980 m above sea level, we can find candi gedung songo temple in a superb setting in 1,000 m above sea level. scattered along gunung ungaran and from the highest point of this temple can be seen the beautiful scenery of telomoyo area with several high mountains in central java. more details in my ungaran page.

telomoyo mountaineous range (c) ukirsari

Fondest memory: something romantic i'd found about bandungan was ... the flower market 'versus' mountaineous range which looks so close in front of me. nice scenery of telomoyo mountaineous range. with mount slamet, merapi, the twins sindoro - sumbing and mount ungaran from a distance. so don't forget to enjoy this scenery whenever you're there :)
