Dear Food Freaks!
Today I ate nasi uduk for breakfast. It was good and cheap. The package consist of Nasi Uduk (rice with coconut milk), fried anchovies with peanuts, an egg, fried noodles and sambal (Indonesian spicy sauce). I forgot to take a picture of it but here's how it looks like:
Nasi uduk is one of the most common breakfast meals in Indonesia, especially in Java Island. This particular food is sold almost everywere; from the small corner in the midst of Jakarta's slump area to some of the most expensive Indonesian restaurants. But if you ask me where to find the best nasi uduk, I'd say the best nasi uduk is sold by Betwaian ladies in "kampoeng" (slump area). It might looks not hygiene, but the taste will rock your world!
This afternoon, I had chicken for lunch. I bought it in the nearest "warteg" (food kiosk) in front of my school. Warteg's concept is similar to fast-food. Almost all of the foods are pre-prepared and ready to be sold. The only different is the food they're selling are mainly traditional Indonesian food. The prices are generally affordable, hence the biggest market share are families with low to middle income.
I don't eat there often because the foods are usually cooked with tons of food flavorings. And I was right! Right after I had my lunch, my eyes got so heavy. I'm so sleepy that I slept and snored at my office. Fortunately, my colleague woke me up before my boss caught me sleeping. LOL! This is how I look after I ate the "warteg" food:
So, I guess that's it for today. I promise that I'll remember to take the picture of the food in the future. :)

This is how I look after I ate the "warteg" food:I still feel sleepy now, but I am going to tackle the sleepy-ness (LOL) by eating one of my favorite snacks; Milo! I like to eat it instead of drink it simply because I'm lazy. LOL!
