Today, like the previous days, my busyness is still about the fields, and the garden. I decided to buy an old motorbike but with a strong engine for our vehicle to go to my other garden, which is quite far from home.
After cleaning my other garden, I stopped by my husband's field to see the calming view of the rice fields. Then, we decided to have lunch at a new cafe near my house.
Currently, there are so many culinary businesses in the city around where I live. Some survive, some quickly stop operating because they are unable to survive and adapt to the market and fail to create consumers.
Seeing an opportunity and chance is a must. I see people around my place of residence using their homes for culinary businesses.
Like the place I stopped by this time. This small cafe is on the side of the main road that I usually pass, near my house. I even just walked to this cafe.
Well, this house is indeed suitable to be used as a cafe. I remember once this house was just a simple house, but there was a large yard in front of this house.
Life is indeed constantly changing. In the past, the road in the area of this cafe was not too busy. But now the road around this cafe is busy because of the housing project, also the proximity to the toll road to go between cities. That's why the road in front of this cafe is passed by many people and this increases the opportunity for this cafe to increase their customers.
This place is not big but quite comfortable. Decorated with a gazebo theme, this small cafe does feel quite homey for local residents.
I sat at a table that was made attached to a large tree trunk that had the top cut off. Meanwhile, on the top of this tree trunk, a roof was added with woven rumbia leaf material. This design also creates a strong traditional impression.
The other seating area also has a hut concept like a gazebo. With the use of wooden materials. It is quite comfortable even though we come during the day with hot weather because the roof made of rumbia leaf material does not reflect heat like zinc.
In the middle of the cafe or in front of my space, there is a swing made of iron material that can be used by parents with children who come to this place to relax.
Well, let's see what I ordered at this small cafe. As a starter, I ordered dimsum. One portion contains 3 dimsum. Although served simply, I was quite surprised by the taste of this dimsum.
It turns out, the taste of the chicken filling in this meat is very pronounced. Also, combined with the taste of the sauce that is just the right amount of spiciness. It's not a loss to order this menu at this small cafe.
Next, for the main course, I ordered old-style fried chicken served with an omelette and anchovies. It tastes very good! Reminds me of the old days when my late mom made fried rice like this!
Don't miss the crackers and sliced cucumbers served as a complement to this fried rice. Overall, I really enjoyed the dishes at this small cafe.
For drinks, I ordered Iced Milk. Quenched my thirst after just coming from the fields with a rather sunny weather.
For the price it is very affordable. I paid $3.5 total for my order and my husband's order. Whoa, I will definitely come back to this place again. Until next on my food stories!
