Berkatilah Makanan Ini…

Semangkok bakmi babi panggang, samcan garing, tepatnya… Mengepul di depan mata. Menunggu.

Berdoa dulu…

“Tuhan, berkatilah dan kuduskan makanan ini agar menyehatkan tubuh saya.”

Tebersit di benakku, lha, kolesterol kok dimakan bisa menyehatkan sih. Terus apa arti doa itu tadi?

Walk the talk. Mau sehat nggak hanya doa, tetapi pola hidup nggak sehat.

(Bisa dibaca, mau ujian nggak belajar, tapi doa saja. Dan segala variannya).

Berdoa memang bisa merubah perspektif kita. Apalagi if we intend to walk our prayer. Mungkin itulah doa yang powerful.

Makan dulu, ya… Bulan ini cukup deh intake kolesterolnya. Besok diet…

*replace babi panggang dengan otak sapi goreng, soto Betawi isi jeroan, udang goreng mayo, cumi mentega dan sejenisnya…

Warung Kopi@Grand Indonesia

Another expensive “Warung” – restaurant. A good place to relive the traditional culinary of Indonesia…

Good? Well, to be frank, I thought at the first place that this is another bule place: good looking, expensive, but tasteless (nggak nendang) food. I am right about the good looking/cozy and expensive, but the taste is quite good in fact. Spicy and strong.

Expensive? Yes, definitely. Singkong Goreng, 2 pieces, cost you Rp 5.000+ (cost of goods is probably Rp 500,- or less).

Recommended? Hmm… yes, kind of…, if I want to treat my overseas guests to experience Indonesian food, this could be a good candidate (along with Kembang Goela, Bunga Rampai, and the restaurants in Hotel Tugu chain). Besides, the restaurant is also located in a nice shopping center which also sells traditional clothings, handicraft, and souvenirs.

Here’s some shots:

The notorious Singkong Goreng

Mie Jawa (good, but they used a rather unusual spices)

Tahu Telor (fave food, anything with tahu, kecap, petis)
