Rumah Mode is the most popular factory outlet in Bandung. At first we pronounced it in English, MODE. After checked with the local then only we noticed the right way to pronounce it is actually MO-DE. As mentioned in my previous post regarding our hotel stay, Rumah Mode is very near to Grand Serela Setiabudhi Bandung, you can reach there by 15 mins walk.
Seriously I don't understand what makes it so popular until it's like a must-go place in Bandung. Many says they can find a lot of good deals in here, such as some branded tees like Paul Frank, Abercrombie & Fitch, & etc. Well, there are many Paul Frank tees in the outlet, but whether it's original it depends. Most of the clothes are more likely to what you can find in Mydin, Giant that type of hypermarket in Malaysia, just some basic t-shirts, short pants, jeans, and traditional dress. I didn't take picture of Rumah Mode's indoor, however I did snap some shots in other factory outlets, they are more or less the same, some are totally selling the same clothes, just the name of the factory outlets are different.
Before visiting Bandung, I was expecting to see factory outlets like Johor Premium Outlet that type, each branded store owns a shoplot and selling past season stocks at cheaper price. After all, it was so disappointing.

We had our first meal in Bandung at Bumbu Desa. It's available in Malaysia too but so far haven't got chance to visit it yet. Total cost for the meal: Rp117,006.

| No idea what's the right way to eat the cucumber platter, the local served it together with our orders most of the time. I dip the cucumber slice/ vege into the special made chili sauce. If you like spicy, you will love the chili sauce! |

After finish eating at Bumbu Desa, where is connected to the food court, we ordered additional dishes from the other food stalls.
1. Mie Baso: Beef noodles soup. The first time I had it was back in year 2011 at Bali by the beach, it was so tasty until I still remember how yummilicious was it! However, this time the noodles taste so-so only. Another disappointed thingie.
2. Mie Kocok Biasa: Dry noodles. The noodles was ok but the soup was super salty.
3. Ice Cendol: Taste so much different from what we usually have in Malaysia. My friends couldn't get use to the black sugar, I think they added some corn syrup, which I don't like it neither.

| Ice Cendol Rp10,000, Chocolate Cheese Pancake Rp10,000, Mie Baso Rp25,000, Mie Kocok Biasa Rp21,500 |
Below are the pictures of clothes selling at Bandung factory outlets. All outlets are selling similar clothes, you may want to pick two or three outlets to visit instead of visiting all to save more time by seeing the same things repetitively.
