I’ve been seeing videos about this place on the internet. As someone who’s interested in history, this legendary bakery caught my attention. I finally went here and ordered a few things with my friend:
Suikerbol (10k): Cinnamon and sugar bread. Just the right amount of sweetness and nice texture. The outer part is slightly crispy and almost resembling a puff pastry (based on the appearance) until you bite into it and the softness of the bread hits your tongue. The taste of cinnamon is there and you can already smell it from afar, but it’s not overwhelming.
Bitterballen (17k/ons): We can buy it by weight (ons). There are small bits of chicken inside, and the texture is somewhere between firm and creamy. It’s still enjoyable even though it’s not warm.
Marasquino (17k): [I forgot to ask what flavor it was because my friend chose it for us, but maybe it was maraschino cherry and vanilla? Not sure] There are three scoops of the homemade ice cream. The rum flavor hits from the bottom of the glass during the first few bites. The texture reminds me of the traditional Indonesian ice cream. The sensation is similar to devouring a black forest cake—perhaps from the cherry flavor in it—but in ice cream form and minus the chocolate (of course). [We were very delighted by this one, especially by combining it with the suikerbol]
Pastel (14k): The whole concept is like the regular Pastel Sayur we usually find in Indonesia, but this one is somehow so much better??? Inside there are veggies (I forgot what they were but the carrots could not be missed), boiled egg, and macaroni that have been cooked until they are very soft but not mushy. The outer crust/wrapping is crunchy and slightly different than usual, with the right amount of thickness. And the seasoning! Really really great. [This one surprised us the most. When we arrived there was only one left and we decided to try. It was a bit greasy, but we liked it nonetheless. We even talked about it later when we had left the place. It was that good!]
My friend also ordered Kopi Susu for herself, but I can’t say much about it since I don’t know much about coffee.
Overall, we had a pleasant experience here. Great food and ambience. The actual vintage interior and “classic” food options really work out. Truly a fun, simple, but memorable visit. The workers are friendly as well. Sumber Hidangan lives up to its name. Go ahead and come...
Read morethe store layout looks old, but not for the bread. they know how to preserve the historical recipe, and serves you the story of those age. the chocolate candy bread, its just awesome. The strange feeling amazed me soon after I entered this place. The interior here seems ancient and genuine as it had been used for along time ago. Just look and order at display window to choose your favourite cake, and the beverage and dessert on the menu. You'll find the menu in Dutch and get confused (as I am) haha.. But don't afraid, call the waitress, ask them, and your order will be served quickly. I've tried some pastry, cakes and bread, they are all tasty and have authentic flavors. There're some cookies too like Kastengel, Ananastaart (nastar), Lidah Kucing (forgot the dutch name), etc. I haven't try the loaf yet but I believe it is luscious. My fav: chicken croquette, sumber hidangan special (ice cream), a kind of cheesecake (forgot the names). Ah, the're some menu non halal (alcohol n pork), the waitress usually will kindly tell you, but for safety ask first...
Read moreI recently visited Sumber Hidangan, a charming old bakery located on Jl Braga in Bandung. The vintage ambiance and furnishings of the bakery are truly delightful, providing a nostalgic trip back in time. However, the shop could benefit from a fresh coat of paint to enhance its overall appearance.
The croquettes and risoles are delicious, making them a must-try for any visitor. Additionally, the red crackers have become my favorite snack.
Another aspect that adds to the charm of this bakery is its historical significance. As a long-standing establishment, it offers a unique glimpse into the past and a taste of traditional recipes that have been cherished for generations.
Overall, Sumber Hidangan is a delightful place to enjoy some classic treats while soaking in a bit of history. A little renovation would make it even...
