AOE: Floating moment at Floating Market, Lembang.

Hello everyone! How's your Ramadhan break? Did you have a good time with your family? Did you go to amazing places to enjoy your holiday? This time, I have a good recommendation for you to visit. Similar to Jayagiri, this place is not far from my hometown, Subang nor Bandung, the town currently i'm living in. This place is a man-made creation, that successfully attracts hundreds of people each days, perhaps thousands on weekend. Although it is not a worldwide-famous attractions like Burj Khalifa, Eiffel tower, Pisa tower, and so on, but here is a  place where people, especially those who are living in and around Bandung enjoy spending their time with their loved ones. . Yup, it's "The Floating Market". Been there before?

Floating Market is located exactly in the middle of the town of Lembang. The venue is on the water. Why market? because it does look like traditional market where the sellers use boats as their stalls and almost all of them cook their food on the boat. That's why it's called "Floating Market". Talking specifically about the food, It sells various type of Indonesian traditional foods, such as chicken satay, rujak, tahu gejrot, mie Jowo, and many more (you have to try by your own). Street snacks and desserts  are also available with very affordable price. Before you buy the food, you have to go to the cashier first to exchange your money with coins because they won't receive your money there. They have kinda unique system with the payment method which makes it more traditionally attractive and distinctive. So, if you want to go there, they are open for you on 09.00-16.00 (weekday) and 09.00-17.00 (weekend). I went there in 2013 with my one-and-only-girlfriend, Natya Shina Nandana to experience its unique atmosphere. We had  a really great moment to spend and definitely we couldn't resist to take some pictures due to its beautiful view.

Had a great moment after all.

Actually, this post is dedicated to celebrate our 18 months of relationship on the 3rd of August 2014, but we both forgot it completely and just realised it today. pretty funny huh?!  I hope this relationship will not JUST long lasting, but also we will have deeper and better understanding towards each other. Aameen. See you on another trip !

Ps: Thanks to Shinanandana for making this post much better
