We had our tummy quite hungry already and we decided to proceed to our next destination. We were considering between Kebon Awi Restaurant or Warung Salse. Kebon Awi Restaurant is a Sundanese restaurant in the middle of bamboo woods while Warung Salse is a cafe located atop of the hills at Dago.
Since Dad wanted to have a Sundanese dinner at his favourite restaurant, Alas Daun, we decided to have some light bites at Warung Salse.
Warung Salse has a unique space utilization. It is located at the edge of the cliff at the side of Jalan Dago Giri. Perhaps due to its narrow land area, it is designed to be cascading down the cliff. The roof at the main building is slanting. It really looks small from the outside, but once you step in, it feels spacious and heavenly.

| Our order: nasi bakar oncom (grilled rice with fermented soybean), tahu jeletot/tahu isi (fried tofu with stuffing of vegetables), batagor (fish cake with peanut sauce), tahu gejrot (fried hollow tofu in chili sauce), and rondo royal pisang (fried banana and pineapple) |
The foods were pretty tasty especially the tofu variant. The nasi bakar was nice too. The only thing that was a bit of disappointment was the banana-pineapple fritter, I could not taste the pineapple at all!

After resting for a while, we continued to the next destination just a few hundred metres away, Lawang Wangi Creative Art Space. It is a newly establishment combining cafe, art gallery, and souvenir shop. Only in Warung Salse we knew that Lawang Wangi belonged to the same owner.
Lawang Wangi Creative Art Space has spacious parking area and minimalist 2-storey building. The first storey is used as an art gallery and souvenir shop while the upper storey is used as a cafe with a viewing deck.
Upon entering the building, we were welcomed by sounds of a traditional instruments and it felt so serene. We walked to the souvenir shop and saw arrays of handmade crafts and art items being displayed. We walked to the art gallery and took a glance of the exhibits. We then walked up and walked straight to the viewing deck.

We were lucky that no officer was guarding the door to the viewing deck when we reached the second level. We just walked straight and started enjoying the panorama and of course, taking pictures.

We walked in after a while, thinking there was only this platform to enjoy the scenery. But, to our surprise, at the back of the parking lot, there's a compound which was as beautiful as the viewing platform.

We drove back towards the city and found that the road was jammed like hell. We drove off from Lawang Wangi at around 6:00 p.m and we reached our dinner place at around 08:30 p.m. Another AWESOME ride.
We had dinner at Alas Daun, which was covered before in
http://littlefeetroundtheworld.blogspot.sg/2014/07/bandung-trip-wilujeng-sumping-bandung.html. After the heavy dinner, we went back to Cibadak Food Street to try out another wedang ronde. Wedang Ronde Alkateri was recommended by a few friends and relatives. But still, for me, Wedang Ronde Gardujati 86 has no competition. Absolute champion!
