Can you tell me where I can buy a HDMI to DSUB converter in BSD?
I could also use a KFC in case I get hungry whist searching for the converter.

Hey Fred ^^, nice to meet you, well i never thought i got this kind of question lol.. okay but im not kind a hardware guy , but im sure youll find what you looking for at the Living world mal, it is not at bsd but its at alam sutra just 20 mins away from BSD, they had a nice big Ace hardware there., but they dont have KFC in it , but there is a lot of good restaurant at the mal, im sure get your tummies fill up while youre wandering.. i hope this information helps..

Cheers ^^

I was being naughty and KFC was a clue.
The answer to my question is, Glodok electronics in BSD plaza.

@mas fred: youre right ^^ lol.. i forgot about that Glodok electronics at BSD plaza , its getting less popular here coz of a lot of new mall build in this area, Thanks for reminding ^^ anyway are you live in serpong area? I live in Lippo karawaci and my office is at gading serpong

@Jazzy : of course we have Mcd Lol

Fred

BSD plaza is wonderful.
Between GE and cimema21, there's no finer mall in BSD.

yogi.giehok

I agree in Bsd yes , but now there is a lot of new mall surrounding bsd like Sms mal in gading serpong , and alam sutra they had 2 big malls (Living world mall , and mall alam sutera) and in the end of this year bsd is opening new mall at BSD foresta its a very good mall too

Hi Yogi, I once tried fried snake and bat there with some friends. Out of curiousity.
Though had a hard time with the unusual smell. I should contact you when I'm ready for a second attempt! :-)

I posted some nice photos of a guy making snake soup a few weeks ago and there's a shop selling snake meat just to the south of Alam Sutra roundabout.

Epicuriousannie

Is there a " Tanggal merah" that I missed? Why long weekend?

yogi.giehok

@sophie: yes.. today is tanggal merah ^^ in indonesia, where u at?

Epicuriousannie

Btw, I'm thinking to give Fried bats another chance when I'm back in July or August since I remenber eating it when I was a kid. My uncles used to hunt. Birds and bats are some of them.

Hi. I have a question about Serpong area. Can someone advise of a good condo around the surrounding area? (1-2 bedrooms) Equivalent to TA or Setia Budi in Jakarta area. Close to food, Nice malls, etc. It would be nice to have a fitness center, swimming pool, and good security. Fairly new (5 years at the most) clean and modern.

Any information would be appreciated. Thank you!
