A Jail Restaurant

Most come in black

I am here again decided to hide somewhere out of home. All things I've planned finally messed. I thought I had two options whether going to Woot Coffee around Gunawarman, which is the same place as Martabak Boss or a popular coffee shop in Sudirman. Ok, I opted to go to Citywalk Sudirman for Common Grounds. The coffee shop located right in the right side near the main gate and I could see many people were having good time there with fellas. Though I saw some sofas available inside the shop but I decided to leave for another option, which I actually still didn’t know :D. I saw Starbucks but hell it's been out of my list. I don't know why I always find it too crowded in almost all of its locations.

Headline of Old Town Post

Then on the ground floor, I just have to decide between Bengawan Solo or another which is where I am sitting right now. This is Bong Kopitown. They write at the front that this is gonna be a jail restaurant. Yeah, from the hope that visitors would be pleasure to visit jail at a restaurant or maybe restaurant in jail? Wkwkwk, this is it Bong Kopitown found by Bong Chandra. They have had some branches in Jakarta and one in Yogyakarta.

Seen from the menu, they don’t have any special kind of foods or certain drinks. All are same just like the other kopitiam. They serve Iced Chocolate, Teh Tarik, Lychee Tea, carved Mango iced drink. I am ordering Lychee Tea and fried fish meatball a.k.a otak-otak kalo dari rasanya sih. Another option you can choose is like Kaya Toast, French Fries, Fried Banana with Kaya, or some light meals such as Fried Rice and variants of noodles. Something different is about the concept. They have three jails. Each can fill up to 5 people. While its menu list served in a newspaper. The headline contains of information about Bong Chandra and the profile of Bong Kopitown. Then when you try to turn other pages, it’s where you can see all the menu. Price is really reasonable, don’t worry. Waiter and waitress here are wearing uniform just like most of prisoners do. They come in a white and black striped shirts.

Iced Lychee Tea and Otak-Otak

If you ask me whether this is cozy, I think I’d still prefer to be in a real coffee shop which is not at mall. It’s gonna give me less crowd, more serene, and not having much people come back and forth passing by the place. This place playing some of my fucking favorite songs recently and I always skipped the time to put my headset on bcs I realized there’s gonna be a good song after that. Indonesian romantic songs which make me think deeply and just throw a wide smile bcs I really feel it. Great ti! Great banget!

See The Jail

Glad that tomorrow is the Independence Day so off from work for one more day. I am still trying to look for appropriate job. Yaudah lah ya kalo rejeki mah gak kemana. Santai aja karena biasanya the good things happened unexpectedly and it’s where the happiness usually come from. When you expect nothing but you’re given more. Yah setidaknya ini untuk bikin diri gak stress-stres amat tapi usaha dan berdoa tetep.

Last night, some friends invited me to the deep conversation about future, especially about marriage. About the right time for us to get married, about finding the right guy we deserve, and the bla bla bla. Oh please! I am out. Bye!

Central Jakarta says hi to you, folks!
