indonesian food : Gamelan

Finally I had a chance to visit one of those
real Indonesian food cafe done by real Indonesians!


Known as the "Gamelan" which I have no idea how it's
pronounced, presumably -Ga- -Ma- -Lan-;
But I'll stick with "Game" - "Local Area Network" for now until
some indonesian readers beat the crap out of me.



It had a very calming atmosphere, built with the
concept of 'nature'; you could see it all - wood,
green leaves, gentle orange lights, heck,
they even had wooden poles that look like tree branches!

Just beside where I sat.

I tried connecting my vine to its bamboo shoots
but to no avail; it wasn't giving me any sign
of pulse. Sob, sob.



There was an angle I SO wanted to take but
it kept being messed up. What's up with that
light, divine intervention!?





Woo I must've been yabbering too much about its
atmosphere, so what about the food?!

If someone tells you not to judge a book by
its cover, well let me tell you one thing -
it cannot be applied to rice!

This sharp looking rice is so full of it
you'd start wondering how jammed they felt next to each other.
Suffice to say I couldn't finish them - AT ALL.



I can't remember the name for this one.
".. .. .. " was all I remember. Roughly translated -
butter squids :P

nice, soft texture, a little salty at the end.

Finally, "Gado-Gado" is composed of
tofu, emping (like keropok), vegetables - all
topped with *BEEP* sauce.

huh? All topped with *BEEP*, *BEEP* sauce.

hey...

what happened?! I can't seem to say the word??!

okay let me try one more time in a slower motion...



allllllllll-----toooooopped---withhhh *Be*--- *PEANUT* ----*ep* --- sauuuce.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

With that, and a pat on the pod;
"Hey, it's just me!" - Mr. Goober
