On our very short getaway, we decided to visit Floating Market and also Farmhouse Susu—luckily, both of them are located not too far away in Lembang, because my dad doesn't fond spending his time in Bandung if it wasn't for shopping spree (he can't stand the traffic, that's why).
My first impression when I first arrived in Floating Market was; the creator & investor's idea for this place is reallyyy brilliant. They got one way shopping and recreation place in one area, in which they sell and highlight the floating market itself, and moreover they also provide a lot more unique things other than the floating market (which isn't really floating anyway). There's more than meets the eyes! I genuinely say that I'll recommend these two places BUT please, visit them not on the holiday season because
dang, there were so many people yet so little space.
Anyway, I simply love how they care a lot about the garden and environment!! <3
First, I'm gonna be sharing pictures in
Floating Market. I personally think that someday when this place is keep on developing, it will become a big recreation park that may attracted massive tourists. Aside of floating market, there's also this long sidewalk into an indoor swimming park (and if you don't bring or forget to bring your swimsuit, they provide a place to rent some too!), and also Japanese and Korean parks where the visitors may rent the traditional outfits which are the Hanbok for Korean and Kimono for Japanese and took some photoshoots in the studio (as for this one, you can rent the traditional outfit for 75k / 2 hours and if you would love to have your photograph printed you need to pay 45k per one photo), there are also some clothing stores but frankly I don't get to visit one because I'm not into shopping that time. Uh-huh

 |
| real definition of sun-kissed. DANG IT'S HAWTtT |
 |
| somehow looks like a Japanese garden idk from what perspective |
 |
the ticket is 20k each person + we'll get
a free cup of milk (or coffee, you choose!) |
 |
| awkward pose because technically everyone is watching |
 |
| sorry dad we're having selfies without ya |
 |
| remember when I say the park is sooo shady!? |
 |
| again, a shameless self potrait of mine |
Don't forget to bring your camera with you while visiting this place because it looks like heaven for those who loves photography as much as I do! (ps: unfortunately I'm taking these pics using my phone)
 |
| remember there's this saying "like father like son"? |
 |
cuteee little thing! thinking of turning something in my house
to be like this but then well, ain't nobody got time for that |
Also, don't worry if you're not a fan of food market, you can always eat at the restaurant near the entrance. Not only main dish, they also sell crunchy choco-banana crisps that are worth trying for with very reasonable prices. Go buy one! :D
 |
| they have aesthetic side too |
 |
| I'm still a little daughter for her anyway |
Next, our destination is
Farmhouse Susu! It only took a couple of minutes because basically after going out from Floating Market, we just have to go down straight the road for about 3 kms if I wasn't mistaken and then there it is; the famous Farmhouse Susu!
The price of the ticket is the same, 20k / each person and we could get a cup of fresh milk in return (or a 20k voucher in the resto). There are two variants of milk; vanilla and chocolate. I'd prefer vanilla all the way when it comes to fresh milk. Nyaw! It's very tasty and the milk itself freshly taken from their own farm. For the street food to company the milk, they also provide sausages (I heard that 'Rumah Sosis' merged themselves with this Farmhouse Susu as well as with another tourist attractions, so I bet the reason why the sausages were delicious was because they came from their 'motherland'; Rumah Sosis).
Unfortunately, I did forget to mention, if you bring your own camera (aside of phone camera), you'll get charged for about 50k per camera, but I think it's totally worth it since there are so many picturesque corners and places here.

| she looks very happy! |
 |
| frankly, the place is soooo crowded |
 |
| what's for lunch? |

| behind of us there's this famous Hobbit House |
What's interesting about Farmhouse Susu is, despite its very small space, is that it offers a beautiful scenery and architecture of the Europe old houses (more like French). They made the ambience there feels like the real Europe, with those street merchant selling fresh fruits, juices, flowers, milk, flower seeds, ice cream, coffeeshops, and even there's this bridge where we can put our lovelock there. Also, we can feed the little-cows with milk, sheeps with carrots, and see a mini bird park.
I'll make sure to be back again! :)
