**When the day is hot, it is suitable for lunch while pulling over with a calming view.** ![393357F3-0329-4B26-A7AF-575EAFF2C7D5.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23wWvt5Shhr45rgEcxtupGsffnRFRkGnbjBY4EUT9kSghEbfXD6HeDLz9GrcUYeVrkb3X.jpeg) Living in Indonesia means being prepared to be friends with the sun. As if the sun was above our heads. Indeed, there are times when we feel delicious with warm sunlight in the morning. When it was noon after 11 am, everything changed. The hot sunlight makes us feel hot. That's why sometimes I go somewhere to cool off from the intense heat or when I'm traveling and I need to stop to rest. --- --- --- ![12BEE517-3AD6-40FA-9154-3212365566D3.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/245mrzCf7piw7atwGEcrFc6t7X9dazdNT4EwWfNf3Ax5hJWoLFBGKyZ4Ycoc5hcmrFrqb.jpeg) ![D2882001-3663-4906-BB65-F5A1C452331A.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23u5vsqFnfUpaL4gUCf9pHbRuVyVctmZUHvCMVEef6sx8wNRa3EBy8CW3oZN8LwdmpZi2.jpeg) Today I stopped at a place to eat that felt cool with lots of fun local food choices. I didn't intend to go directly to this place. Initially I was looking for plant seeds, then the location of this cafe was close to the location of the plant nursery that I visited. My husband agreed for us to stop at this cafe. This cafe is called "Cafe Kita". *Kita* means us in English. As the name suggests, it will make us feel like we are in our own comfortable cafe. ![7F5432B8-D57B-4F6F-B119-C04417DF7981.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23yJDx6m8nUpXrmEgSWcLSTxL3EC7Q3RdsRTGvphpeDXB8XhRUwNNcc2AaYSj4zcLsy4x.jpeg) The main view offered by this cafe is a fish pond with a surrounding atmosphere that feels like a garden, a brilliantly decorated garden in my opinion. Fish ponds are a symbol of tranquility. This is interesting enough to be used as an element to attract visitors. That's because the average residence in our city doesn't have a fish pond. Including my house which doesn't have a pool. ![5FCE53A2-851F-433B-BC3B-B1815BBE7F3A.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/241taukk44f9kDeY1rbsCBAcMpFEQfDW5Hky7V92WJfE1YHfzS2cDTENTNKJFTNhYoFkY.jpeg) The first time I went to this cafe, of course I felt this cafe was a hidden gem. It's near a local plantation, and luckily I saw a plaque with the name of this cafe which was placed on the side of the main road. --- --- --- ## SATISFYING LUNCH ![7BC561AF-8A21-491F-A0A4-AF76B5EBED3B.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23u6DiQjudeqdRpr9j3cAWeniA4QqiumWhxX2Pn1A7yMjju3R4HuScrJsqqqnpkRYSiiH.jpeg) There are many local menu choices at this cafe. Of course, my first thought was what food my husband likes. Meanwhile, for me, I'm not the type of person who chooses food, so I can follow my husband's tastes. 😊 ![178DD944-BBD8-427B-A344-4C7701FED764.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23y8zFMSiEzmECshMXahRARiSewqQcrwEj7X18aHrQV1aFR737WbePW7QKzqKNbu3PUwR.jpeg) I chose the fish menu served with sour and sweet sauce. For vegetables, I chose the mixed vegetable menu, called "Capcai" in my area. ![59CEDAAC-69C7-46CF-82C7-BD5E1EB835F8.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23uFcVa8X8wSJztB5B9AQXeR5YH5rYPk6Wn9AJGujxgk7BxA8Aciwe1Fe9ZGqfMDHw45X.jpeg) Sour and sweet fish is served with a layer of flour that is still crispy. Actually, the fish flesh has been cut into pieces that are easy to eat. It's just that to beautify the appearance, they put the pieces of fish back together to make it look like a whole fish. Nice appearance, with toppings of peppers and onions. The most important thing is that the taste of the sour and sweet sauce is delicious and suits my taste buds. ![EBE52A5F-C28F-4DA9-B149-AA14A485EC80.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23xL2iPSfpJRn4APm9Z97a2CvoHJk27c4geT7mF7K7ff3msGvMGUuMaz1PbgGgHQacsTJ.jpeg) Also, the flour outer skin that covers the fish doesn't feel hard. Good work. 😊 --- --- --- ![7542907C-55E1-4FFB-B59B-B5DB7FBB314D.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23yd8DHw9c7TA4Nzkfe6BDd9aPVCDLpquXKhXBNi4MaAmvvK68hs6w7nvfK7KFj6yzUwh.jpeg) "CAPCAI" which contains a combination of broccoli, baby corns, carrots, snow peas, and mushrooms. Cooked in thick sauce topped with beaten egg. Then, sprinkle with fried onions. Oh my god, this is just the perfect side dish, especially for me who really likes vegetables. --- --- --- ![D26AEE71-8720-4FD5-9338-233B762AC9A6.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23xp26thDNBXWz1ocvHzqVMbwWEVvzhwrmjemjoNdNz9wwyqfrAQzh7Hz3tQAqFR5dXRq.jpeg) After eating I took a walk around the cafe. Like a neat city park. I was drawn towards the bird cages. ![64713714-21AB-42E0-8FF6-3F687513D2B0.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23u5zbNsVPd82vhjLgjj5YuGU66Lxq72NXid4dpYKNLzdFNWcKskQHhEESmsQGBkLkEpa.jpeg) ![F51FFE62-DCE9-4B39-A050-D71942C0601D.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23tmBd9zgP6ajtziQbdcwa8MQqxfqzd279xX9tsbbFBsBk9zHsghWc3yXKVXY5xq1KprY.jpeg) There are several birds in this cage. Vibes feels like at the zoo. I'm sure the children will be happy if they are taken to this place. So, this cafe is suitable for family visits. ![F3EDFCC6-6C0D-40B1-AD03-E26D92F245FE.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23wC3YmcJqcHWM6Gmv8wShiJEXTUgDjP1yYAFh4V1mPidXBfjFjZGpaYDdaUvDV6hWFwA.jpeg) The roof near the bird cage area is given a canopy. The canopy is planted with passion fruit which makes this place look even cooler. --- --- --- ![22ED52E8-85C6-483F-9201-A965A1317407.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/AKF9qZ97QcAniQR7j724Ee9Vn622Xiy2JRkS82xe2gpB7QTAXvo6UAW5W7rHYGG.jpeg) Then, ending the lunch with a refreshing drink. Iced oranges with no sugar. Very refreshing! 🥰❤️ I was very satisfied visiting this place and will return again another time. Cheers, Foodies! --- ![81F683F5-78D3-4FE6-82DD-1EFD79C4538E.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23w2qCWQXE8prtP1Q6yRvkyFp2RsST2PuZUbHHXubAPXUoYTAQGGFZ3YBK5EaxZ2G6Jvd.jpeg) >Best Regards, Anggrek Lestari ---
