Bandar Lampuuung ~ finally ~

OK, my journeys to Bandar Lampung were really really old stories... I just felt so tired and had no time to write a blog. Finally, because someone asked me to write about my experiences, here I am ^^

I traveled to Bandar Lampung twice, first on the New Year 2015 and last one was when my friend married on October 2015. Flight ticket to Bandar Lampung is really cheap, so rather than wasted so much time with road trips, I chose airplanes. 

Bandar Lampung is really a city, there's nothing except malls. I felt it when I attended my friend's wedding. At that time, I didn't stay, I only came with first flight and got back to Jakarta with last flight. So, after holy ceremony, I only had 5 hours to go around the city ^^ and I didn't have any plan except culinary ^^ Here were the list of places I visited:

1. Pindang Mak War (Jl. Tulang Bawang No 8 Enggal). Its specialization is Pindang Kepala Baung and fried seluang fish. The taste is good, hehe, I like fish and I like the head ^^ However, I suggest you to go there at night, because it served in hot soup, so if you eat in daytime, you will be sweating.
2. Pempek 88 (Jl. Kupang), famous with rare Belida fish. It's quite pricey, because that rare fish ^^ I tried their pempek kapal selam and ate together with my mom. We only wanted to taste it and then if it's good we will order more and take it to Jakarta. 
3. Toko Yen Yen where you can buy Lampung famous snacks in this place, such as Keripik Pisang Aneka, Sambal Lampung, etc. Actually, I came here twice because of the Durian seller in front of the store. Yeaaay correct, I came to enjoy Durian rather than buying snacks ^^
4. RM Padang Bagadang (Jl. Diponegoro No. 1 Teluk Betung). All my Lampung friends said I need to visit this restaurant when I came to Lampung. That's why on my second visit, even though I was so full, I came and tried the famous "Ayam Telur", it's chicken fried with egg. For me it's so so, may be because I didn't eat it directly after I bought.

You need to go outside Bandar Lampung if you want to see great scenery. Then because I love beaches (even though I'm not too good with swimming), my friend took us to Grand Elty Krakatoa. It was really beautiful and quiet.. It's almost the same like resort in Bali. However it took us a long way, if you want to enjoy it, I thought you have to stay at least 1 night. Actually, I wasn't satisfied because the weather that day was too gloomy.

Beside Kalianda Beach Resort, we also went to Summit Bistro, it's located in Bandar Lampung. The concept looks like the Peak in Bandung, so it sold the scenery of Bandar Lampung from top of the hill.

That's all my review for Bandar Lampung... I hope I have a time to visit Teluk Kiluan and see the dolphins ^^
