Our first stop at Bandung is Kupat Tahu Gempol as we were trying to find a breakfast spot. This is also our first time trying Kupat Tahu in Indonesia and we were not disappointed. The shop is separated into 2 - the outdoor kitchen and the dining area, which are located across from one another. Surprisingly, the dining area is pretty hip and comfortable with music playing in the background. If we were not wrong, there's only 2 dishes that they serve - Kupat Tahu and Lontong Kari. The Kupat Tahu is a must-try because their Ketupat and fried Tofu are just soft and delicious. The Peanut Sauce has a semi-thick consistency and mildly sweet. But their Lontong Kari was disappointing because it is not Curry at all! In fact, it is just a sweeter version of Soto Lontong. Nonetheless, it is still tasty.

Kupat Tahu Gempol, located on Jalan Gempol, is one of the main destinations for breakfast in Bandung, especially after a morning walk or cycling. The place is popular, so you should expect a long queue, but it’s definitely understandable given the delicious food. The combination of ketupat, tofu, and egg, all drenched in sweet peanut sauce, is simply a perfect match. The flavors blend beautifully, making each bite a delight. Despite the long wait, the taste makes it worth it every time. If you’re in a hurry or don’t want to wait, you can conveniently order through GrabFood. Whether you’re a visitor or a local, Kupat Tahu Gempol is totally recommended for a satisfying and authentic breakfast experience in Bandung.

Kesini diajak istri H+3 Idul Fitri pas mampir Bandung, karena katanya viral. Jujur sebelum kesini gak tau juga kalo viral dan baru tahu namanya ditelinga gw yg orang JKT. Cuma mau makan lontong, tooooo much drama. Pertama, Dateng cari parkir susah, tukang parkir banyak tapi ga ada yg ngarahin, tipe yg cuma mau duitnya doank, udah parkir disuruh pindah katanya nanti dimarahin warga, padahal disitu banyak mobil parkir, curiga udah di tag orang lain tempatnya. Jalan jauh dr parkiran, sampe tempat rame bener, antri gofood mengular (kasian si kayaknya dari gw dateng sampe pulang geraknya cuma dikit tu mamang gofood). Manajemen untuk customer mulai order, bayar, ambil makanan bener2 kacau amburadul, ambyarr. Ga ada karyawan yg ngatur atau setidaknya jadi pusat informasi dan bantuan. Saya udah lama2 antri ternyata antri khusus di take away, pindah lagi ngantri di dine in dari awal dan yg senasib seperti saya banyaaaak 🤣. Udah antri di dine in, lama dan mengular, ada yg bilang bayar dulu, heboh lagi, ternyata sistemnya ga jelas yg udah bayar dan blm bayar dikasi aja makanan, sesuai request. Ini baru drama antri, belum drama nyari tempat duduk. 🤣 setelah dapet makanan bingung kan nyari tempat buat makan, akhirnya anak2 dapet meja bareng dempet2an sama customer lain, istri berdiri, saya cari tempat, ada bangku dilorong kecil tempat penyajian lontong kuah, bangkunya panjang dikanannya ada tumpukan tauge yg baru dicuci, dikirinya tumpukan tutup panci, saya ditengah2nya. Ujung lorong ternyata got dan baunya lumayan, saya makan sambil cium aroma got, yasudahlah. Sambil duduk melihat pertengkaran kecil sesama customer rebutan bangku, ada yg blm antri makan tapi sudah tag meja kursi dan ada yg komplain 🤣🤣 staff melihat kejadian begini pasif dan apatis, bodo amat. Saatnya makan (saat yg ditunggu2 dg perjuangan yg begitu itu), Pesen kupat tahu siram kuah kacang, porsinya dikit sih, apalagi dengan harga 20rb, kerupuknya cuma satu 🤣. Asli si gw ga tau kenapa rame banget gitu, rasanya B aja, beneran ga ada yg spesial atau khas, setidaknya ada rempah atau bumbu apa gitu biar beda dr lontong lainnya, lebih ke manis ya kuah kacangnya (ini selera, kalo suka manis mungkin seneng). Berkali2 mikir ini kenapa ya orang rela antri banget demi mendapatkan makanan yg umum dijumpai dimana aja dan rasanya juga ga spesial, untuk selera gw si lebih suka abang2 pinggir jalan atau sekalian gado2 boplo. 😁 setelah makan cari minum di warung sebelah hahaha, karena sibuk antri makanan ga keinget beli minum tapi ga tau disitu ada minum atau gak. Liat review 4 taun lalu, tempatnya asli persis banget ga berubah, untuk seramai ini, dengan keuntungan yg ada, pengelolanya ga ada effort gitu buat bikin nyaman tempatnya?, ya setidaknya agak bersihan dikit sama enak dipandang, soalnya puasa libur sebulan,(hasil tanya2 tukang parkir) bisalah tuh waktu buat sedikit renov 🤣. Q&A 1. Apakah worthed antri dengan makanannya? Bagi gw BIG NO NO, dengan banyaknya perjuangan mendapatkan makanan yg super B aja, saya mau tuker kupon aja untuk mengembalikan waktu saya yg hilang. 2. Apakah mau balik lagi? BIG NO NO juga, masih banyak tempat nyaman murah enak minim drama. (Gw setelahnya ke restoran lagi karena kurang kenyang dan biar tidak menyesal kalo balik hotel begitu doank) 3. Apakah rekomended? Untuk penasaran coba aja sekali gapapa si daripada penasaran, untuk langganan enggak rekomend, Blasss. Noted: Mungkin gw orang yg gak kena dan ga mempan sama aji2nya *justkidding 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣

This is a favorite breakfast place of Fitri's and I've grown to love it as well. I believe they serve two dishes here and I can't tell you what they're called but the one we get is great (in the picture). We had it delivered one morning and have eaten here twice. It gives me a Key West vibe for some reason. The meal comes quickly and the people are very nice and friendly. There are vendors who walk by selling things and always move on nicely if you're not interested in their wares. I look forward to eating here when we are in Bandung. It's open air with limited seating but we haven't had problem finding a seat.

It is a very well-known place in the town to taste the very delicious Sundanese style Kupat Tahu, a dish comprises lontong (rice cake), fried tofu, bean sprout, poured with peanut sauce, served with kerupuk (Indonesian traditional cracker). It is quite busy almost everyday, but it is worth the wait. You can also buy some Gorengan (fried foods) from the stall next to it as the companion of your Kupat Tahu. They have limited seats, so you can enjoy your meal everywhere, even inside your car. The price is affordable and you can only pay with your cash. Must try!

#LetsGuide, this kupat tahu is the must try item when you are in Bandung area, but u have to be passion enough to get serve especially when holiday. The queue divide in to two line one for dine in and the other one is to take away but u have to get the number first. The capacity of the table sometime is not match with the customer coming so u have to eat while standing, its quite an experiences. Parking space is not available u have to park about 50-150 m away from the place and walk a little. A portion will cost u 17.000 IDR enough to make ur stomach happy...
