Yats Colony 
This cool, modern boutique hotel in a commercial district not just known cause of the pretty architecture but also cause of their restaurant. Yup! We're going here to try the famous hidden gem restaurant that many people talking about. It's really sad that we only see the hotel not get in since it's prohibited for you who not stay in there. But, their pasta quite good even their fried rice taste so so. :)

13. Brick Cafe - Ullen Sentalu - Gardu Panjang Garden

Brick cafe have many instagramable spot! For sure you will take many pics here~ Many people from teenager to family goes here. For the food i recommend you to try their fried rice and their carbonara also pretty good. I not really like their healthy bowls cause taste like water and my friend bite a insect while she drink her coffee latte > < pretty scary.....



After had our lunch we're heading to Ullen Sentalu. A well know museum for treasuring many treasure from more than 100 years ago and many more stuff. The entrance ticket's quite expensive! IDR 40k/person and they arrange u into a small group, the tour guide will guide you around. You prohibited to take picture inside the museum!!!  In the end of the tour you can take pic in their
"photo spot" there's a meaning behind their arrangement. If you see closely it's miniature engrave of borobudur temple, and they arrange it like that cause now the young generation seems not care to their culture anymore.
Entrance Fee :  IDR 40K
Parking Fee : IDR10k




This's the most NOT recommend to go! Taman Gardu panjang- light festival. We visit that cause of the advertise on instagram, it's open only until 20 July 2019. But what we found's far away from it!!!! NO HOT AIR BALOON, bad lighting and Last but not least's it's they say open from 16.00 but when we there on 16.25 we can't go in and should wait in the outside. -____-
