Bandung's Local Delicacies

Bandung has plenty of unique delicacies that can only be found in this city. One of them is a food called “Mie Kocok”. Mie kocok is usually translated into ‘mixed noodles’. Though this kind of noodle is not usually mixed, instead it means that this noodle is served with many kinds of side dishes. It is served with stewed beef skin, beef foot and bean sprouts. It is also served with an almost-clear sauce that is seasoned with a unique taste because of the herbs and spices mixed into it making it delicious to the taste buds. Bandung is the only city that serves this special taste.

sewage disposal

A process to disposing sewage contains some steps before it is entering the water. First, the sewage, that contains polluted water and undecayed solids, enters the settling tank where the polluted water was being cleaned and the undecayed solids are removed and buried at the bottom of the tank. After that, the water went through the pipe into the pump house to be sent to the sprinkler beds. Here at the sprinkler beds, the water sent to the rotating arms where the polluted water will be filtered by stones and microorganism. This area is fenced by brick works so that the water won’t get out from the area. After being filtered, the water is ready to enter the river because it is already clean. The water is being sent to the pipe that connected o the river.
