Rumah Makan Kampung: Indonesian and SEA food in Bacolod City

The Little Shops at The Shophouse Heritage is now open and the very first stall is the amazing Rumah Makan Kampung which serves Indonesian, Thai and Malay food.

The owner, Leo Gomez is a nice and friendly man who looks very much like a Filipino Hayao Miyazaki. He has worked all over asia and learned to cook the various cuisines of the countries he worked in!

If he looks familiar to our readers, you’re right! Leo Gomez is also the owner of Halampangan cafe and Rumah Makan Kampung is his small outlet in Bacolod City.

Our orders were:
Nasi Goreng Kampung – The house special! This is Indonesian fried rice with little anchovies! 🍚🐟🍳

Beef Rendang -A Spicy and rich Malaysian beef stew made with beef, spices and coconut milk. 🍖🌶️🥥

Tom Yum Goong (with glass noodles) – Leo’s Tom Yung Goong is extremely good. We could have this everyday and not get tired of it! 🍤🍜

But when you visit, DON’T stay on the ground floor! Head for the SECOND FLOOR of the little shops for a beautiful dining area and a FANTASTIC VIEW of the shophouse.

Also, The second floor cleverly uses the 🌬️ Bernoulli effect to cool diners off without using electricity! It’s a smart design by Architect Cris Laino, designer of Pugad Viewing Deck

The Bernoulli effect is a phenomenon that happens when air or fluid moves quickly, creating an area of low pressure.

Now, consider the holes in the wall on the second floor of the little shops. These holes use the Bernoulli effect. When air flows swiftly through these holes, it causes a drop in air pressure. This drop in pressure cools down the surrounding area, creating a refreshing breeze without using electricity.

So, essentially, the holes in the wall harness the Bernoulli effect to create a natural and energy-efficient way of cooling the second floor, providing a comfortable environment for those inside.

It’s a clever design that uses the principles of fluid dynamics to enhance comfort without relying on traditional cooling methods.
