shop for herbs and spices in bandung

if you live in bandung and looking for jamu (natural medicine) ingredients or rare spices either for food recipes or medication, baba kuya is the place. the store situated in crowded old chinese area behind pasar baru bandung, at jalan pasar selatan (or is it timur?)

i think baba kuya means mister turtle, while baba is like uncle or sir in chinese slang. and the big old turtles still there hanging on the wall. this narrow street crowded with angkot, becak and pedestrians while the sidewalk packed with all kind of stalls. so the best way to go there is to park your car at the train station parking area, and take a walk from there.
this store stocks lots of indonesian spices and herbs in powder or dried form. i think this place is a hundred years old.
