Bandung! It’s the most search keyword in Google to www.samyeap.com. For this reason, I will do everyone out there a favour. I will continue to blog about Bandung. Let’s put aside the petrol price hike for awhile. As what Shirley mentioned in her blog, we have to move on and find ways to reduce our expenses and dependency on oil.
If you are in Bandung, shopping should be the number one priority. You can see a lot of factory outlets along Jalan Riau or Jalan Dago and not to forget Jalan Cihampelas. I didn’t managed to snap photos of the factory outlets in Jalan Riau or Jalan Dago as I was busy trying out the clothes but I have tons of photos captured along Jalan Cihampelas.
Jalan Cihampelas is a crowded place and traffic jam is a norm along this road. Hence, please plan your time properly. Along Jalan Cihampelas, one can see a lot of shop selling textile products. The shops are very creative in their own special way to attract customers. Want to know why?
Look at the pictures….Pictures are worth more than a thousand words.
Traffic jam along Cihampelas Street. The road is too narrow for a shopping place like Cihampelas Street.
Aladdin.
Superman and Spiderman!
Rambo!
Tarzan!
Super heroes?
There is a big shopping mall at the right hand side of the road which is the cihampelas walk. A very large, colourful shopping mall where you can enjoy the shopping if there rain decides to pay you a visit.

If you are hungry, don’t worry. You can find a lot of foods and drinks outlets outside of the cihampelas walk shopping mall such as Japanese, Korean, makanan orang Sudan Sunda and many more.
In my opinion, the Jalan Dago and Jalan Riau are still the best place to shop as more than 20 factory outlets are located along this roads but Cihampelas street provides another alternatives for your shopping experience in Bandung.
Take a walk along the Cihampelas street and experience it yourself. As the saying goes, seeing is believing!
