No need waste time to walk just to save Rp10k.
Hmm...reminds me when bro blackpage 1st shared about MM some years ago. I didnt know how to get there as there was no map back then,hehehe...end up i took nearly an hour walking from Formosa hotel to find the exact location of the joint,hehehe...

For those who knew the exact location,it can be pretty easy but those who dont,its actually more advisable to take an ojek or taxi to a nearby landmark, eg Hotel or coffee shops etc before walking there. In the case of Bunga, its as your mentioned,hit DC mall 1st and start searching from there onward.

Example, if i want to go to Kupu Kupu,i take a taxi to either Hai Kee coffee shop or Hotel 18,from there i start my search (or my walkthrough).

Another word of caution (a reminder to others),if i spend 10k rupiah and take an ojek directly to a booking joint,i am actually not paying 10k rupiah to the ojek. I am more likely to be indirectly paying around 110k to 310k rupiah extra to the ojek/taxi (if i happen to book a girl there),hehehe...booking joint pays taxi/ojek commission from girls i booked.

I wouldnt suggest anyone walking from BCS to booking joint but i would more likely to suggest combining your advise together.

1. As you have already said,take an ojek to a prominent place nearby a booking joint,thereafter walk to destination.

2. Use the FREE shuttle services provided by hotels (if any) in around BCS area to reach Nagoya Hill Mall,from there,walk to Formosa (about 5 mins) and then head to booking joint shopping,hehehe...just another option.

Sorry,i have the tendency to speak from a stingy-man mindset.
