I had a terrific long sleep last weekend from Joey's late night's 24th birthday celebration at Beer Garden, Kemang, and woke up at around 12 p.m. on Saturday. I went to the receptionist and found Be Stong Indonesia #16 (the writer's charity program from nulisbuku with my short story in it) were there. I opened the package so lighthearted for I've been waiting for the books for a month already.




As arranged before, Isman came to fetch me and my sister to go to Central Jakarta zipcode. We had tea-break meals at Kopitiam Oey at Jl. Sabang where I had a mouthwatering french toast with maple syrup and cinnamon garnish. My sister had a talua bread with egg and smoked beef dip, Isman had a srikaya toast bread and we also ordered singkong with the extraordinarily delicious sambal roa. The place is also a unique old peranakan interior. This is truly a nice dining experience.


After that, we went to Plaza Indonesia to visit Aksara for their sale items. We met Aunt Magda there and had dinner at Zenbu for their marvelous mozaru and cheese tofu menu. We took a little tour around the mall before going home. I met my aunt again on Sunday, also with Aunt Dewi and Oma for lunch at Puri Mall for a brief. For the closing of the weekend, we had a long macaroni with cheese and mushroom sauce we made for dinner with Clemy, Isman and Bent. It was such a nice togetherness we seldom do lately :)

Thank God for giving me such a wonderful family and food!
