SIMPLE
SPECIAL SATISFACTION
“What should I
eat?” that the question I ask whenever I enter “Bonbin”, an open cafeteria
located between Faculty of Cultural Sciences (FIB) and Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Gadjah Mada.
This daily confusion actually annoys me because in the end I always eat the
same food I ate yesterday. Moreover, the crowd and heat cover the place in
lunch time when I grab my late breakfast. Even I should eat at one table with
dirty plates and glasses which have not been taken by the sellers. The left-overs
on those plates make me shudder and loss of appetite. High and low noises from
people chatting and disgusting smoke become usual decorations for this place.
Among those things, I try to find my comfort every time I come here.
As usual, I had
my ‘brunch’ here again. With hard determination I looked around thinking what
dish I wanted to eat for today.
“Like usual?”
said my friend suggesting me to eat food I usually eat. However, I refused; I
was bored. I thought for a while then I chose “Warung Bu Ning,” which sold
‘home’ dishes. A small food stand located between magazine and Chinese food
stand. There, you can find perkedel, fried
fish, fried egg, fried tempe, and
various vegetables soup. These kinds of foods are healthy and quite nutritious. The buyers are permitted to take their own
food. I took the rice by myself so I could arrange the amount of it according
to my hunger level. The rice was still warm since it was in a rice cooker. Then
I took fried egg and vegetables soup. The dish in my plate was warm. Then I
grabbed a bottle of mineral water; I did not drink cold beverage because of
sore throat.
It was simple
dish, but it was delicious brunch because I could feel my home cooking. The white
rice was smooth and not mushy. The sweet savor from it and the salty savor from
broth of the soup were mixing creating yummy taste since I ate too mush plain
foods in Yogyakarta. The fried egg was crunchy and savory added with sprinkling of green
onion. Furthermore, the freshness of the dish was completed by
vegetables of the soup such as slice of cabbages, carrots, and green onion. I ate
it until my plate was clean.
This
dish was priced Rp. 6000,-. Although it was only homely brunch, but since I was
very hungry, it seemed special to make me satisfied.
