FIRST TIME Eating the Best Martabak in Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩

This is the first time I visited Bandung! and my first time to eat Martabak! I traveled to Braga Street, Alun Alun, Sudirman food streets and to the amazing Masjid Agung. Arriving in Bandung, Indonesia for the first time as a foreigner, I was immediately captivated by the city's vibrant culture, bustling streets, and warm hospitality, creating an unforgettable first impression that left me eager to explore every corner of this enchanting destination.

Known for its vibrant culture, rich history, and culinary delights, Bandung offers visitors a captivating blend of tradition and modernity. From the bustling streets of Alun alun to the historic charm of Braga Street, every corner of Bandung is alive with energy and excitement.

As I made my way to Alun alun I saw a very interesting street performer playing a flute with his nose. I decided to help the fellow out and gave him some money. After waiting for quite a while at the crossing, the street performer very kindly helped me cross the road.

Arriving in Bandung, I am immediately swept up in the excitement of exploring this bustling city. The air is charged with energy as we dive headfirst into the vibrant ambiance of Alun alun and the nostalgic charm of Braga Street.

A visit to a local mosque offers a tranquil sanctuary amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, we are welcomed with open arms and invited to experience the serene beauty of Bandung's religious heritage. Amidst the vibrant streets of Bandung, I encountered some unexpected sights: street performers dressed in eerie Halloween costumes.

As we meander through the labyrinthine streets, our senses are tantalized by the mouthwatering aromas wafting from the countless street food stalls lining Sudirman Street. Although I arrived a little to early and at a quite awkard time, there were still a few food street stalls open that I could sample. I managed to sample some quite delicious nasi goreng on Sudirman street. It was really good I gave it an 8.5 out of ten.

Our journey takes an indulgent turn as we stumble upon a street food stall offering Martabak, a local delicacy known for its crispy exterior and indulgent fillings. The lady very kindly invited me into her kitchen so I could see the skilled vendor expertly craft the Martabak before my eyes. Taking my first bite, I am transported to culinary bliss as the crispy exterior gives way to a rich, gooey center bursting with flavor.

As our journey through Bandung comes to an end, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the unforgettable experiences and lasting memories we have shared. From its bustling streets to its tranquil mosques, Bandung has captured my heart with its unique blend of tradition and modernity.
