Mie Naripan

As the long weekend approached, we wondered on travel possibilities. But as usual our last minuteness left us with not much option. We decided that a culinary travel to Bandung would enlightened our stomach horizons and expand our taste buds. We were fully aware that Bandung on that day is going to be a traffic nightmare.
The call time was set at 5 am. It felt like a shoot day. We were slightly sleepy but excited. There were 4 of us in the car: Hani, Ruby, Lia and myself. Each of us gave 200,000 to Lia -- she's the acting cashier. That pool money will take care of us the whole trip. Food and pterol. I drove all the way to Bandung, using the new highway that cut travel time down to just 2 hours. The view on that highway is very beautiful too, which made it a very pleasing ride, but our stomachs were making noises and we needed to shut them up fast.
I swapped with Hani once we got to Bandung, since she's going to be our guide/driver for the day. We drove around to get this porridge place, we drove around to 2 places but naa... no porridge for us that day. Both places were no longer there!! So, we settled for Mie Naripan instead.
This infamous noodle place was packed by families, having noodles and fried meat balls for breakfast, and possibly lunch. It's hard to imagine why such a 'simple' place could attract such crowd. When the noodles came, so did the answer of my question. They're to die for!! And you know what? When the bill arrived, there was a price to pay. Four bowl of noodles and six pieces of fried meat balls worth 98,000 rups. Nobody complained. It was our first in our long day's adventure and nothing beats the feeling of a full stomach.

I do agree the food there is good, but anything would taste great with the amount of pork fat and msg they put into the stuff. Once a month is ok but don;t go there too often if you don't want blocked arteries.
