Ace too expensive!
Try:
Cahaya Permai, Jl. Teuku Umar, between and on the same side of Kasih Ibu hospital and Libi (Hero) dept. store.Telp: 262 303. Also got reasonable supply of ceramic tiles or the ability to find them.
Daya Murti, more or less the same prices, different stock and virtually across the road from the above. Telp: 265 155.
Incidentally, if you are looking for electronics, fridge, washing machine, toaster, TV. etc; at real reasonable prices, good service etc. try Pak Tung at Telp: 224 221. You start to use this guy and after awhile you realise its no longer necessary to shop around, as his prices are always comparable to the so called "cheapest" shops.
I have bought heaps of stuff from him over the years, usually (these days sight unseen) and price negotiated over the phone (unless he's not sure exactly what I'm after). Ordered an LG fridge for a mate last week at around 10am, it was installed and working by 2:30pm, and won't be paid for for another week or so.
To me thats the way to shop, quick phone call, pay whenever the cash comes to hand, and trust working both ways. I don't rip Pak Tung off, and he doesn't rip me off.
