Putu Bambu is delicious as usual, I don't have to say much.. I always stop by to buy it from a young age. The Bandung noodles are also solid. The flavor is thick. The waffles are fluffy and tasteful. The baked tofu is also delicious.. It's just too hot to sit in the shop. Plus the weather now. And what about the old sticker on the table? It's sticky..

It's delicious, I like the mixed rice. The smoked meat is very thick and fatty.

Came here to try the putu bambu as recommended by friends. Its worth it. Its soft fluffy, not so sweet and salty taste from coconut. Best to eat while it is still warm. Be prepared to wait and there will be queue for this dessert as it freshly made. And each batch takes around 15-20mins to be ready.
