Keropok Melarat / Keropok Miskin
Keropok miskin adalah keropok khas cirebon. Kenapa disebut dengan
keropok miskin atau melarat? Keropok miskin diperbuat daripada tepung aci
(ubi kayu), ternyata dalam pengolahannya bukan menggunakan minyak goreng tapi menggunakan
pasir yang dipanaskan sehingga disebut keropok miskin. Tapi jangan bimbang
pasir melekat di keropok, kerana secara automatik pasir akan lepas jika keropok
sudah matang dan mengembang. Makanan khas Jawa Barat ini paling pas
disajikan dengan sambalnya.

Top your Rotkar off with more toppings – Culinaire Van Bogor
Culinaire Van Bogor is all about the Rotkar, a sweet bread with a
variety of toppings. Choose from one, two or three toppings, and make some
bizarre creations. Fancy a tuna and chocolate roti?
Apart from the Rotkar, the best way to describe Culinaire Van Bogor is
the coolest biker bar. There are no Hell’s angels here though, just some cute
little mopeds to pose on. The décor is eclectic and relaxed. The VIP rooms are
perfect for parties, or if you are there with your moped gang.
This restaurant has a warehouse feel, the furniture is eclectic and
the structure fairly rustic. It’s the wacky furniture and blackboard murals
that make this place ultra special. Pull up a stool at the bar and grab a drink
in the evening while you decide on your Rotkar toppings!

Fun, food and floating markets – Ah Poong Pasar Apung Sentul City Food Cour
Ah Poong is a giant sprawling food court with lots of different dining
options to suit even the fussiest of eaters. It’s like a food theme park! To
get to Ah Poong, you have to cross one of two suspension bridges over the river
– and the view is one of the highlights!
Add credit to a pre-paid Ah Poong food card and use that to pay for
all the dishes and drinks that you select. No need to worry about paying for
each different item. This is an adventure for all the family; children will
love trying new food, sitting in a boat and trying all the other
children-friendly activities on offer. (Don’t eat too much before the bouncy
castle though!) Try and grab a table on the terrace overlooking the floating
market. Afterwards you can even have a ride in one of the little riverboats –
for free! Ah Poong is the essence of unique – where else in the world can you
make yourself a mini buffet with samples of food from all over the world?

Shake up your calcium intake – Momomilk Barn
You will probably think that you are about to step into a traditional
American milking barn when you arrive at Momomilk. Who can argue with that? A
barn is the perfect place to get your dairy fix! Unsurprisingly, the star of
the menu at Momomilk is milk – from yogurts to flavored milk, and a huge array
of unusual milkshakes.
The shakes are served in jars and come in more flavors than you can
imagine. The bright green, frothy shake might look scary but it’s actually
delicious mint Kitkat – yum! Don’t get too full with those delicious milk
goodies – you should also check out the variety of Western, Chinese and
Indonesian dishes on the menu.
What goes better with milk than bread? Try the Momomilk special –
cheese and chocolate on bread. Weird but strangely satisfying! The peanut
butter roti is a delicious, safe option for the less adventurous.
PS: If calcium in milk gives you strong bones, then a few trips to
Momomilk will (hopefully) get you closer to being a superhuman with super
strong bones!

Angklung, Pelestarian Seni, Budaya & Lingkungan
BANDUNGKAB–Masih
dalam rangkaian acara perayaan enam tahun Angklung ditetapkan sebagai Warisan
Budaya Dunia Tak Benda atau Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity oleh
Unesco, 16 November 2010 lalu, Saung Angklung Udjo (SAU) menggelar acara
“Angklung Pride 6”. Bertempat di kawasan kebun bambu atau Kebon Awi Udjo yang
terletak di Cijaringao, Desa Cimenyan, Kabupaten Bandung, Minggu (27/11), acara
berlangsung meriah dan mengundang decak kagum para penonton yang hadir.
Wakil Gubernur Jawa Barat Deddy Mizwar pun tak ingin melewatkan kesempatan ini. Dia hadir dengan membawa misi cinta akan lingkungan, sebagai wujud dari pelestarian alam. Untuk itu, Wagub yang kerap disapa Demiz ini sangat memberikan apresiasinya terhadap upaya pelestarian lingkungan alam sekaligus seni budaya Jawa Barat yang telah dilakukan oleh pihak SAU, yaitu Angklung.
Berdiri di atas lahan seluas empat hektar, Kebon Awi Udjo merupakan lumbung tanaman bambu bagi Komunitas SAU agar tetap bisa memproduksi alat musik khas Tanah Pasundan tersebut. Menuru Demiz, tanaman bambu bisa memberikan manfaat lain pada kawasan tersebut.
“Mari kita tanami bambu di kawasan ini, karena bisa memberikan fungsi lain. Yaitu untuk konservasi kawasan, agar tidak longsor, tapi juga bisa menjadi daerah resapan air,” ujar Demiz dalam sambutannya di acara puncak Angklung Pride 6 ini.
Demiz melanjutkan, manfaat tersebut bisa berlanjut melalui upaya pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat. Melalui tanaman bambu ini, masyarakat bisa turut serta dalam pengolahan dan produksi Angklung, serta berbagai kerajinan tangan lainnya yang menggunakan bambu sebagai bahan dasarnya.
“Ini contoh yang konkret dari bagaimana masyarakat bersama pemerintah, akademisi, dan komunitas yang membangun alamnya dengan harmoni. Sama dengan Angklung, Angklung ga bisa dimainkan sendiri, dimainkan bersama-sama, beragam nada. Tapi dimainkan bersama-sama maka terciptalah irama-irama yang sangat harmoni yang bisa kita nikmati sebagai sebuah keindahan,” papar Demiz.
Angklung Pride 6 berlangsung dari 16 - 27 November 2016. Bertepatan denan usianya ke-50 tahun, SAU memiliki tanggung jawab untuk memberikan kontribusi terhadap masa depan bangsa. Bekerjasama dengan berbagai pihak, termasuk Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Barat, Saung Angklung Udjo berinisiatif untuk turut serta membangun jati diri generasi muda melalui kebesaran filosofi dan kearifan lokal yang terkandung pada seni budaya, khususnya Angklung. Angklung Pride 6 menjadi momentum bagi Saung Angklung Udjo untuk melangkah dalam merealisasikan tanggung jawab tersebut.
Pimpinan Saung Angklung Udjo, Taufik Hidayat Udjo mengatakan, sejak awal berdirinya SAU mempunyai cita-cita tinggi untuk menjadi pelestari di bidang seni dan budaya, sekaligus lingkungan.
“Melalui Angklung Pride 6, kami ingin kembali memperkuat kontribusi dalam merespon isu-isu di masyarakat saat ini melalui kebesaran nilai filosofi dan kearifan lokal Angklung. Kami berupaya melakukan pelestarian seni budaya dan lingkungan sekitar kami dengan harapan dapat memberi manfaat bagi masyarakat dan masa depan bangsa,” tutur Taufik dalam siaran persnya.
