About BANDUNG DAILY PHOTO

Inspired by other cities' photo dailies, this blog is trying to capture - in photos and stories - what's going on in Bandung on the daily basis.

There is no pretension that what I post here could represent a city as big and as complex as Bandung. However, I hope that as the collection of photos and stories grow with the daily updates, a more comprehensive picture of the city will begin to emerge and that you will learn about Bandung (and hopefully love it) not only as a place on the map, but also as a living community with its own unique characteristics and stories to share.

Whatever the story or the picture is, I hope my voice will make a difference.



With a large and growing numbers of photographs, insightful commentaries, and daily updates, Bandung Daily Photo is arguably the most comprehensive, dynamic, and authoritative source of day to today stories and photos of Bandung and its vicinities.

Bakso



Bakso (Indonesian meatball noodle soup) is a popular food here. There are several varieties of bakso. The most popular of them are bakso Bandung, bakso Solo, and bakso Malang. They are named according their places of origin. Bakso Malang is from the city of Malang in East Java. Bakso Solo is from the city of Solo or Surakarta in Central Java. Pictured here is Bakso Malang. As you can see, it consists of noodles, beancurds (tofu), 'siomay'(steamed meat dumpling), and 'pangsit' (crispy wonton). Indonesian bakso can also now be found in Malaysia. It was introduced into the country by Javanese people who migrated there.
