Finding Simple Pleasure (2)

Okay, Saung Mang Udjo lead me to Bandung, I'm so currious at interactive angkung, but let me tell you my journey into saung Mang Udjo..

It is on Jl. Padasuka, cicaheum, the atmosphere is so positive, at the parking lot some people in sundanese traditional clothes will showed you the way to where the show take place. Bamboos is dominant plant in this place (there are angklung production center) the sound of its leaves bring harmony and makes this place shady...I love the first imperession of this place. Actually, I was late for 20 minutes, because the shows started at 4.30 pm but it's okay... I left 2 or 3 part of its shows. And based on the brochure, there are 11 series of show like Wayang golek, Helaran, Tari tradisional (tari topeng & tari merak), Calung, Arumba, Angklung mini, Angklung Padaeng, bermain angklung bersama, Angklung orkestra, Angklung Jaipong and Menari bersama.. for more information click here

The ticket only 50 IDR you will get the whole show, welcome drink, and this angklung miniature! so lovely... so Indonesia!

Sorry to tell that I was late for 20 minutes, so I might be skip the traditional dance, when I get in, they finished the tari topeng dance, and go on to angklung show, the junior angklung player is so cute, one of them is 2 years old, playing indonesian traditional song in medley wow... next to orchestra angklung, can you imagine how they played mozart's with angklung?! it so awesome! the senior player fluently playing 1 set of angklung which (maybe) consist 7 different shape and size in powerful rhytm..

And the most atractive show is playing angklung, the audience will be give one angklung each, randomly they will had different tone, so in one song you will wait your turn to play your own angklung, hahahaa...it's fun, I don't wanna get this end, but it have to... because those junior angklung player will take you into center of stage and playing dancing together, so interactive one... you'll be proud being indonesian because those traditional games is so rich...

In spite of time, I couldn't ger around this place, which recently I know I missed another place like sari asih yard, or angklung production center... I recomended you to come about 10am and playing at sari asih yard, have lunch at warung hawu, at noon looking around angklung production center, music studio or library and spend your afternoon with the show, after show buy souvenir... and go home hapilly..

Finding Simple Pleasure (1)

What activity started in the first month of this year?

Fyi. I spend new year eve with 5 friends of mine on my rooftop, fun.. we had it all for free (execpt the food, hee) since I know the rooftop is the coziest spot in my home at afternoon, but in the evening it's soo outstanding... what makes new year's eve special? : FIREWORKS, I can see clearly how firework enchanted me, as if I surronded by firework, soooo amazing! I even couldn't take the picture because I don't wanna miss every single burst of firework... ahhh I let you imagine how good it is, sitting on the roof top, BBQ-ing and watching fireworks for free with your friends..

In the next morning.. I watched tv, it showed saung mang udjo in bandung, west java traditional instrument called angklung, interactive one, and thanks God, my cousins in bandung was on holiday too, they should go home earlier because I will take them to saung mang udjo.. hahaaaa..

before I talk more about saung mang udjo, there's another place I visited in bandung for almost 2 day, it is Nanny's pavillon at Jalan Riau,

it just like dream come true, since I watch eat-pray-love movie, before I get to bandung, the part when liz (Julia robert) eat pasta in italy, looks delicious... and I crave, big thanks to my lovely auntie to take me here, finally I choose tomato pasta, and my cousins choose green spaghetty and spicy tuna, well the taste is very well, juicy, and..... ahhhh it's big portion, yeah at least I have more space for pancake, I choose simple strawberry pancake, taste good, the pancake is soft meet vanilla ice cream and strawberry sauce.. yummm, banana pancake is delicate too, so far...everything is good, the manggo-mint-tea for drinks is suitable, or maybe like my cousins do, the lemonade... well, I recomended this menu :

Blueberry pancake! yummm... the cheese inside rolled-pancake makes it so special, melting when you eat them, the blueberry sauce also special...and the price, worth it you should have extra money to be happy in here (full) then, why I called it simple pleasure? because my auntie treat me well... haaha, I love my motto kenyaaanng~ bahagiaaaa~
