If it wasn't about the atmosphere or the view, I probably wouldn't eat at a cafe. Honestly, we all look for novelty in new places, right?
If there's no good or unique view, it's better to choose a smaller place with lower prices. Especially if you're traveling, you can choose a street food vendor.
Like this time, I recommend a cafe with a good city view. I recommend it to my fellow Hivers who want to meet up.
Long story short, I was traveling to Jakarta, about 500 km from my rental house. I was visiting my husband's family.
So, I took the time to meet up with my friends who also write for Hive.
I met up with and
at Monarki Coffee.
I waited for them before they arrived. I walked from the nearest station to this cafe. So, I was exhausted. It happened to be lunchtime.
So, I ordered a heavy meal from the cafe. I ordered a rice bowl with chicken filling.
It turned out to be quite a large portion! I even only finished half of the rice and saved it for later, hehe. I'll eat it again in a few hours :)
Besides chicken, there was also an omelette. The sauce was delicious and complemented the chicken and egg perfectly.
I also needed some caffeine energy! So I ordered a hot cappuccino at this cafe. They serve this hot coffee in a simple cup.
Luckily, the latte art made me happy, so I didn't mind the disposable cup.
The strong coffee was enough to keep me energized to meet my friends!
When arrived, we decided to go upstairs to the cafe before we met the rest of our friends.
Whoaaaa, this is a cityscape I haven't seen from tall buildings in a long time. I used to work in Jakarta before I got married. I used to love city views like this.
So, it's kind of nostalgic. This cafe is a great choice. ❤️ I also met my friends here.
Then, came in the afternoon. It was getting dark. Before we knew it, we chatted until the evening!
We had a great time, in a great spot, and with delicious food and coffee! Yay, I felt full of energy after meeting my friends!
