Hummingbird Eatery & Guesthouse Bandung is one of the best known cafe in Bandung. Anyone who is visiting Bandung, I would strong encourage all to dine here. The other cafe which I highly recommend are Miss Bee Providore and Beehive Cafe & Eatery.
From the name one might suspect that it is both a cafe and a loding house. Indeed it is. I am keen to try the guest house on my next trip.
When we arrived at Hummingbird Eatery & Guesthouse, I couldn’t help but turn my attention to the outdoor seats on my left. It was like dinning in a park.
As we entered indoor, the look was a cosy feel like home. They gave attention to details and have added accesories to complete the look of home. There are the living room and the dinning room. And of course the bedrooms are in the guesthouse.
Lots of variety are available at the cafe. From Appetisers, Soup & Salad to Asian and Western Mains and Pasta and of course desserts are available. Surely, not forgetting Breakfast menu too.
Since we were at the cafe for late lunch. In fact it was cum dinner, we skipped the breakfast items. We started with the Thai Lemongrass Beef Salad (IDR 65k). This salad an Asian twist due to the sweet and sour dressing and Asian herb used.
Next was the Hover Wings (IDR 42.5k). Crispy, succulent and flavourful with marinate. And the sweet Thai Chilli dip enhances the tasting experience.
Lastly was the Steak & Egg (IDR 115k). Personally, I find this dish a little disappointing as I was expecting a piece of beef meat instead of beef patty. Going back to the flavours, it is truly delish except that it was a little too salty. Otherwise, it is all right.
I like both drinks, Citrus Limon-grass (IDR 32.5k) and Berry Lychee Tea (IDR 42.5k), though I prefer the former as it was sweeter. While my dinning partner prefer the latter. Hence we concluded that taste is absolutely highly subjective.
NAHMJ Verdict
Our first meal at Bandung was delightful. The food served at Hummingbird Eatery beside tasty, we find the plating beautifully aesthetic too. The standard was beyond our anticipation.
