Bridget Jones's Diary

This is a two-series books by Helen Fielding. It tells a story about a British woman in search of...love? Well, basically it's about a journey most women has to get through in her life. The first book tells a story of Bridget falling in love with her boss, Daniel Cleaver, and gets involved with him. Later on, she finds out that he's actually already engaged to an American woman. Daniel isn't the only man in her life, there is also the lovable Mr. Darcy, who at first doesn't seems too lovable. They first meet at a family gathering, giving each other the wrong impression. But as time goes by (and as Daniel breaks her heart), she finds something she's been looking for in Mr. Darcy.
I love this book. It's sooo girl power, in a simple sense. I learn a lot from this book, because Bridget is so down to earth and just like average women. I'm still reading the second books, called The Edge of Reason. But so far, the story is about Bridget and Mr. Darcy's relationship. The first is already turned into a movie with the same title, staring Renee Zellweger as Bridget, Hugh Grant as Daniel, and Coling Firth as Mr. Darcy. The second one...still 'in talk' status, but already listed as 'upcoming'.

Black Coffibar

This week featured cafe is Black Coffibar. This cafe (or coffee bar like its' name) is actually sponsored by a cigarette brand. It's located at two malls, one is on the main artery street, Jalan Dago at Plaza Dago. The other location is at Bandung Trade Center, ground floor, just beside the south entrance of the mall. This is the one I went to just yesterday.

Interior Design
Overall, the place itself is a comfortable place, suitable for an afternoon breeze or a fast lunch. I don't know how the one at Plaza Dago looks like, but I assume it's quite similar. Some of the tables are quite unique. They are made from wood and on the center has this glass pane, underneath are coffee beans. The color scheme is...well, black! With a touch of brown from the wood. Not exactly my favorite color scheme, but still attractive.

The Menu, Please
The cafe serves...coffees, of course! All kinds of coffee: espresso, cappuccino, etc. I chose a Black Mint Coffee, which taste excellent! Then for the meal, I choose American Pancake, which also delicious! Other personal recommendations are Sunrise Crepes, crepes with orange filling and sauce; and Tuna Sandwich, loves those tuna salads! The menu lists coffee (hot and cold), sandwiches, pancakes, pastas, fajitas, and snacks. The price range is between 7,500 to 30,000 (in Rupiahs). Pretty expensive, especially if you only want to unwind and have coffee, but believe me...the price is worth it!

Intro

Hallow!
Gw Lemontee (iyah, nama minuman itu loooh). Ini blog gw isi ama hal-hal fave gw, kyk restoran, kafe, toko, dll. Inspirasi bikin blog ini gw dapetin pas lagi nonton Oprah's Favorite Things di tv kabel. Pas gw liat...kyknya asik jg bikin blog yg isinya kayak gitu. Hehe.
Anyway, restoran, kafe, ato toko yg gw review hampir semuanya ada di Bandung (kotaku tercinta). Unless stated of course (misalnya kafe bla bla bla di Bali). If you're out-of-towners, cobain deh tempat2 yg gw review. Dijamin gak bakal ngecewain. Cheers!
