Hello everyone…how are we doing in this lovely November? Us…we are preparing for the final semester exam (well – it’s my girls actually – I just cheer on them and prepare piles of practice papers to them to do ha ha ha). We are so looking forward to the year-end holiday – though we have no plan set for it until now except spending few nights after the exam out of town with family. But in case you are starting to wonder where to go for the December holiday…nothing far but yet perfect for family outing, perhaps you could consider Kuntum :-)

We came here a week ago when we intended to go to Puncak but
the traffic was sooo terrible and I was sooo hungry at that time, so we enrouted
to Bogor instead. We stopped at Kuntum Nurseries (at Jalan Raya Tajur No.291,
Bogor) with big green eye-catching billboard on our right side of the road.
Driving into the allocated parking lot, we didn’t expect the place to hold
interest for us (well – it is a nursery – though I love flowers and all but I thought
that was all). Stepping out from the car and taking the surrounding, I told my
husband that we might need to find another place for weekend but we decided to
lunch here (too hungry to be picky wkwkwk). Not much option were available for
lunch either, since most of them offered similar dishes so we settled for the
most corner stall – near the bakery corner, having Sundanese meals. The lunch
was good with big portion and standard pricing (but the preparation took so
long – or probably because I was too hungry so I felt I waited forever for the
meals to come). If you fancy fishing, you could fish in the pond next to the
food stall.
Finished our meals, we strolled around the nurseries and
arrived at the open gallery. Here, they showcased variety of wooden furniture
and knick knacks. But I love the building concept, open wooden building with
less walls and fish ponds right outside the building. We took our time there
just sitting on the porch, enjoying the view and the breeze. If feeding and
watching fish is not your cup of tea then fish-spa might be something that you
could try there. Further inside, we can enter into the recreational park by
paying IDR25k per person and you can borrow the farmer straw hat for free (take
it – I know it doesn’t go well with your style but it was hooot out there. For
me…I took a selfie with the hat wkwkwk). The park is good (despite the sun) but
they provide enough shelters here and there. There are lots of thing that can
be done inside the park, from feeding the animals (sheep, cow, rabbit, dog prairie,
goose, and many more – starting from IDR5k per packet of food), harvest fruit
or veg (too bad – no fruit was available for harvest when we went there), or
catching fish with hands (with IDR 100k, they will put around 20 small fish
into the small pond for your kids to play catching fish). They also have other
activities like pottery or planting, but these are reserved only for larger
group of people
