Celebrate My Dad's Birthday @ Talaga Sampireun - Bintaro

Alhamdulillah, 15 May 2012 was my father's birthday, he's 27 now (read : 72 yo :D). We are very grateful that until now our parents are healthy. InshaALLAH, they will always be blessed, and healthy. Amin. We celebrate his birthday at "Talaga Sampireun". It was our first time eating at this famous spot. So, we are anxious to come and eat there. I read about this place from internet, most of people comments "Delicious foods with great spot". But, is it true?

The venue itself is easy to reach, exit from Pondok Aren's, then you will see it on your right. We already booked for 20 persons, at saung AC double. My sister already paid DP (IDR 1,000,000), and I also have arranged the menu by phone. From 10 o'clock in the morning I called their reception (Ms. Claudia), asked for set menu. When we are on the way, by 12 o'clock I asked her again. Until we came to Talaga Sampireun by 2 o'clock, I also asked them again. Actually we didn't want to wait, so I made reservation ahead. But..... until 3 o'clock our foods not yet came. We eat by 15.30. We complained to restaurant, why they took our request too long. I have called them 3 times from morning. I think I was fussy enough :(. We were so disappointing with their arrangement.

Now let's talk about the food. We ordered package.It's called "Paket Betawi" with price IDR 850,000, with adding some foods (Gurame terbang and Gurame cobek) and drinks. Foods itself, hm.. It's so so, not so special. Our family love Sundanese foods, every week we go to Ampera, one of Sundanese Restaurant. Foods in Talaga Sampireun is not so delicious compare to Ampera. Their's sambals is not spicy, foods is no so tasty. Their famous patin bakar bambu is not delicious, compare to what my father's brought from other restaurant. Their portion also not big, with the prices are more expensive compare to othe Sundanese Restaurant. Nasi liwet is also not so delicious compare to Mulih Ka desa, one of restaurant in Garut.Their gurame terbang, gurame cobek, cumi goreng bumbu mangga, bawal terbang, karedok, urap, etc. all of their foods are not so special. I only love it's tape goreng.

Let's talk about the venue. Well, yes there is lake. But it's not so big and it's so crowded. Many people went to Talaga Sampireun. I felt not comfortable. Even we can't booked the place more than 2,5 hours. If we book more than 2,5 hours we will get extra charge, for saung AC double, 1.2 mil. O'oww..!!! They also have playground, rakit, and capsule. Their playground is not big, and also very crowded. Their rakit is also not big, and capsule well it's okay. Since I love to go to Garut and see this kind of place. Compare to what I've seen and visited in Garut, this place is so so. Not so special, only just to know. Not more. But for Jakarta's people, this place is quit entertaining.

I met the famous Dian Pelangi :)

What a beautiful coincident, meeting Dian Pelangi at Talaga Sampireun. I was on the way back, while she's just came to the restaurant. I asked her to take photos, and she hugged us, smiled and when it's done. We were shake hands and kissed my cheeks. Wow! she's very nice. I hope all famous persons like her :)

And I also met my friend, Windi at Talaga Sampireun. I'm so happy!

Overall, we had a great time. Gathering together with big family is very Love-able. I hope we get opportunity like this more often. Amin.







Veilicious! The truth beauty is wrapped in a beautiful way...
