Yesterday we have had a good lunch, some Indonesian foods had become our preference.

Friends of mine, a couple of husband-Hans and wife-Lina, are the owner of Javanese and Balinese cuisine specialties. There are plenty of Indonesian cuisine restaurants around the area of our living quarters who offers delicious menus, and this friends’ resto is one of them.

Located in neighborhood housing complex, Gading Serpong, they open for dining-in, taking-away and the most I guess, accepting delivery-orders. They deliver meal boxes and Nasi Tumpeng Lengkap (completed cone rice) for ceremonial events, family, community and corporate gatherings, and any other kinds of event. I have few times ordered their Nasi Tumpeng Lengkap and meal boxes. The nasi tumpeng is amply with various appendage side dishes, and they are all so tasty.

For me and my family, the taste of each menu is toothsome, the look is tempting, that’s the reasons of why we are visiting this resto quite often, besides as the location is not too far to our home.

Talk a little about the background of how I know this couple; Lina has been my long time friend since we were in kindergarten, while Hans, being friends since we were in high school. I know them as an ordinary couple, educated and religious in a humble manner. The fun side is, Lina is an active and talkative woman, while Hans is a quiet but ready-to-assist person. We have once never met each other for a long period, but then by chance we have chosen the same residential area, so the precious friendship is pleasantly reconnected. We had a lot to talks every time we meet –of which not too often-, but just the fun and good things, about our family and friends. I think Lina and I have one similarity in viewing the life, that is enjoying whatever we have with gratitude, in the way we are.

Here are some appetizing choices available in their resto:
