Preposition is a word (one of the
parts of speech
and a member of a
closed
word class) that shows the relationship between a
noun or
pronoun and other
words in a sentence. See the lists of simple prepositions and
deverbal prepositions
below.
The combination of a preposition and a
noun phrase is
called a
prepositional
phrase. A word group (such as
in front of or
on top of)
that functions like a simple, one-word preposition is called a
complex
preposition.
Prepositions commonly convey the following relationships: agency (
by);
comparison (
like, as . . . as); direction (
to, toward, through);
place (
at, by, on); possession (
of); purpose (
for);
source (
from, out of); and time (
at, before, on).

Best old bakeries in Bandung”
Best old bakeries in Bandung
Not only have these bakeries thrived
through the challenge of time, they also remain a favorite with the locals for
their hearty treats.
Roti Gempol
One of Bandung's old-time favorite
bakeries is now trending again thanks to its smart move to partner with the
city's young and happening eatery Kopi Anjis!, which is a popular place to hang
out in Bandung especially for university students.
The partnership somehow reminded
people again of the sweet nostalgia of childhood and how nice it was to savor
the bakery's thick, moist and warm bread.
Now younger customers can often be
seen crowding the not-so-spacious eating space, which resembles a homey terrace
with a vintage feel. Photos of its bread can frequently be found on social
media such as Instagram.
The bakery's story, however, started
a long time ago, in 1958 in Salatiga, a small city in Central Java. It later
migrated to Bandung after the owner, Lidya Usman, enrolled at the Bandung
Institute of Technology (ITB).
Roti Gempol produces its own bread
and also supplies hotels, cafes and restaurants in Bandung. The bakery's
factory is next door and operates daily from 5.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
One of the great things about Roti
Gempol is its affordability. The bakery's favorite item -- toasted wheat bread
with meat, cheese, egg and homemade mayonnaise fillings -- for example, is only
priced at Rp 18,000 (US$1.44). And you can conveniently savor it while sipping tea,
coffee or fresh milk for a complete hearty meal.
Open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Roti
Gempol can be found at Jl. Gempol Wetan No. 14.
Rasa Bakery & Cafe
Try to come on a Sunday for brunch at this eatery on Jl. Tamblong No. 15 and
you will experience how heartwarming it is to see families, usually consisting
of more than one generation, happily savoring Rasa Bakery's famous cakes,
pastries and other dishes.
This eatery is said to date back to
colonial times. Initially it was known as Hazes Shop & Cafe. When its
original Dutch owner left, it was bought by an Indonesian Chinese who later
changed the name to Rasa.
Rasa Bakery is a place to go to
savor delicious homemade ice creams and Dutch-influenced pastries and cakes
such as bitterbalen and kroket.
One of my favorites from Rasa Bakery
& Cafe's is the kassoesjes, a mini-sized soes pastry filled
with cream cheese, which is sold per gram. It's delightfully addictive and
nowadays Rasa Bakery only serves this on Saturday. Arriving early is advisable
since it sells out fast.
Toko Roti Abadi
Go to Jl. Purnawarman No. 49 to enjoy the best warmbollen or bagelan
bread in Bandung, says foodie Nurul Wachdiyyah.
"The bread is so soft and tasty
and the cream is thinly spread but still so fulfilling; definitely the best in
town," Nurul said.
"I think it's because they use
homemade natural yeast, thus there's a distinction in their bagelan
compared to those offered by other bakeries in town."
Toko Roti Abadi was originally
opened in Garut in 1947. It later moved to Bandung in 1991 and has become the
locals' favorite ever since.
The bestselling item from this
establishment is the aforementioned original-flavored warmbollen, of
which 400 are sold per day.
Open daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
the bakery bakes its own bread in-store and, unlike other legendary bakeries,
customers can only have the bread as a take-away as they don't provide dining
space.
Sumber Hidangan
Located in the popular area of Jl. Braga 20-22, this bakery and restaurant is
presently run by the second-generation owner who is as old as the bakery, which
was founded in 1929.
Upon entering, its antique furniture
and vintage atmosphere predominates; giving a strong but mistaken impression of
a sad lonely bakery.
In the old days, when the bakery
still used the Dutch name of Het Snophuis, it was said to be the place where
the Dutch, the rich local Chinese and the menak (rich and powerful pribumi
-- inlander) used to go for a treat. Now, most of the loyal customers of
this bakery are the descendants of that crowd.
Sumber Hidangan produces its own
bread daily using the same original recipes since it was first opened, with a
distinct Dutch influence. They have kept the Dutch names for the bread such as suikerboll
(a cinnamon roll with powdered sugar), kasstook (cheese bread), krentenbol
(raisin bread) and melkbrood (milk bread).
The best time to go there is from 9
a.m. to 10 a.m. when the bread is fresh from the oven.
Besides bread, Sumber Hidangan also
produces its own homemade ice cream but subject to availability. Customers can
also dine in and savor dishes influenced by Dutch cuisine such as bistik
sapi (a beef dish).
Braga Permai
This bakery and eatery on Jl. Braga -- a street famous as the lifestyle hub
where opulent restaurants, boutiques and shops were located during the colonial
era -- used to be named Maison Bogerijen in the old days. It is also said to be
the only restaurant in Asia to receive an award directly from the Dutch queen
and the only restaurant outside the Netherlands to have been granted permission
to serve the palace's specialties such as koningin Emma taart and Wilhelmina
taart.
Now, though it is more famous as an
eatery than a bakery, Braga Permai still produces its own pastries and cakes
and still gives them Dutch names such as ntbijtkoek, gevulde
speculaas, and almond speculaas.
As with Sumber Hidangan and Rasa
Bakery, Braga Permai also makes its own ice cream, which is still a favorite
among many Bandung residents after all these years.
