our first mission today is pasar baru! it's a trade center - mainly for wholesale but we still can buy in smaller quantity. basically it's a place where u can find kain sulam, lace, telekung etc etc. obviously it's a shopping heaven for women (not me..maybe haha). but i still end up buying 10 sets of kain sulam tho. self, why are u like this?
my breakfast - nasi goreng with telur mata (itu je yg yakin dimakan kkk)
after breakfast. pantang nampak cermin lol
so we reached pasar baru quite super early in the morning. after breakfast, cecep pick us up from our hotel and straightly went to pasar baru... when the shops doesn't even opened yet! lol! so we were like their first customers on that day. usually the first customers will get 'harga pecah telur' like a special price they offered for their earlybird customers - supaya senang masuk rezeki afterwards katanya. something like that lah.
yani was helping them to open their kedai lol
the first shop we went - sir cinta citra busana. coz it is located at lantai parkir 5 (parking lot 5th floor). cecep park our van directly right next to this shop, so ofc we have to go to this kedai. lol. i think they have some connection, like u-bring-customers-to-my-shop-i-give-u-some-commission- etc lol. layankan jelah. their kain is quite ok, not that expensive. but since it is only the first kedai, why don't we jalan2 round2 inside the building first. then cecep introduce us to his cousin (?), yus, who will help us to tour inside pasar baru. "eh ga perlu risau.. ga perlu bayar.. ikhlas aja mau berapa". ermm. but it's ok la. at least we won't lost and he will help us to pick up our shopping bag and send it to our van at 5th floor parking.
the next shop we went - sir cinta citra busana. again. but this is one is located at another floor (they haz 43562783643739 sir cinta here btw lmfao i dont even know). i don't buy anything here coz mainly it sells kain plain or kain corak same je cam kat jalan tar lol but with cheaper price ofc. only paru & pika bought so many kain here for their wedding later.
pilih noks pilih pilih
while lemme camwhoring first~
then while waiting for paru & pika; me, yani & nad went to the upper floor - for them to buy kartu sim (sim cards) and for me just to topup my credits. so i topup for 25,000 IDR (~ rm 7.50) which surprisingly can lasts for 3 days! so cheap meh. maybe cause i mainly use it just to access internet & to sms my mom back in malaysia. kkk.
tgh pilih nombor cantek (nk guna 3 hari je pon padahalnyeee)
the next shop we went - the cosmo. this is actually my favourite shop among all other shops we went here. mainly because of this..
endless teh botol, coffee, orange juice, currypuff, etc etc lol
and i can sleep likeabawse here lol
i bought 1 set of kain ela (plain) and 1 metre of lace for 220,000 IDR (~ rm 60). not really sure when i'm gonna wear this. perhaps i'll wear it for my wedding later. when? I DON'T EVEN KNOW lmfao by the time nak kawin, kain pon da kene makan lipas OTL.
the kain ela
the lace
some batik indo if u can see it~
the next shop we went - sir cinta citra busana. again and again and again LOL. tol chuu.. they legit haz connection. this one is located at lantai 4 (4th floor) anyway. i bought 3 sets of kain sulam for 111,000 IDR each (~ rm 33), 1 set of kain sulam for 160,000 IDR (~ rm 48) and 3 kain batik for 40,000 IDR each (~ rm 12).

then we took a break for lunch, coz everyone was hungry. obviously lol. so we went to the food court (not sure at which floor surry).
we choose kemangi sundanise & seafood.. just because. lol
ayam penyet for lunch! 22,000 IDR (~ rm 6.60)
and jus alpukat tsk so yummy! 13,000 IDR (~ rm 3.90)
then we continue our journey (lol) to find kain telekung. so went to this shop - not sure the name tho. and i bought just 1 set of telekung for myself haha. while everyone bought telekung for their families back home~
pretty kain telekung
the next shop we went - seroja jaya. not sure at which floor but they haz pretty kain sulam too! some of them are cotton-materials which is my favourite. but i forgot to snap the pix ㅋㅋ.
the next and the last shop we went before going back - sir cinta citra busana! lololol. jk this is the first shop we went in the morning. since our van was parked right next to this shop, we still have to visit this shop lah. and i end up buying 1 set of kain sulam for 160,000 IDR (~ rm 48), 2 sets of kain sulam for 180,000 IDR each (~ rm 54) and 4 sets of kain pelikats (for dad & brothers) for 50,000 IDR each (~ rm 15) *freakin srsly hope none of my families are reading this post lmfaooo*
the damage. from pasar baru (minus the jeans - coz it's from toko tiga)
now, let's go to the sad & tragic part. among all of things i bought in the picture above, the things that were actually mine were only...
the right side
coz those other 8 set of kain sulam on the left side were in my lost luggage. yes my luggage that was M.I.A at LCCT after we reached malaysia few days later. lol. i'll write about this in another post, it's such a long long story.
so our next destination after pasar baru is toko tiga. see u in my next post about toko tiga, toodles!~
