“This
is a real good spot. Let’s take a seat here, guys,” said a friend, Ai, as she
drew out a chair from one of a table. I was just going to reply ‘why’ until my
head turned southward, then I knew what she was talking about. Out of the rows
of buildings and uproar of the city, the yellowish green paddy field was
stretched before us, framed with the green trees on the left side and the
bright blue sky above.
Located on Jalan
Selokan Mataram, Pogung Dalangan, in Yogyakarta, this restaurant presents a different
point of view to see the city. The weather was prone to hot as we stepped on
the second floor of “Loempia Boom” restaurant. It led us then, to pick a shady
spot in the furthest corner, from which seen the red, yellow, and green
lampions hung under the edge of the roof. Just like us, numerous of the other
visitors are mostly teenagers to the middle-aged people, who seemingly enjoyed
the tranquil ambience of the place.
