There are many modern-style restaurants that tantalize your taste buds, but traditional ones always have a place in your heart to be your favorite
Enjoying traditional food with a traditional Javanese tribe atmosphere.
The traditional nuances brought by various public places usually become quite unique in the midst of modernization. Including a restaurant. The traditional one carries a lot of memory for those of us who have had the past with it.
I have many memories of the nuances of the Javanese because I am one of the people who inherited Javanese blood from my parents. But because I wasn't born in Java, that's why I didn't really feel the nuances of Javanese life. That's what made me also become interested in the nuances of Java.
It felt like I was coming home to a warm home. A house I haven't been to in a long time, but that doesn't mean I forgot about the taste. That was when I visited one of the restaurants in my city that had Javanese nuances.
I will take you to see traditional dishes for my dinner. I hope you have a good time, be it with your family, your loved ones, or just being alone but you feel blessed.
Lesehan Taman Keraton
Keraton means bringing about the life of the Javanese kingdoms in the past when these kingdoms still existed and were victorious. Now all of that has become history.
The restaurant that I visited, called Lesehan Taman Keraton, was designed to resemble the nuances of traditional life in Keraton / palaces in Java.
Indeed, not as close as the original, and far from the luxury of an ancient palace. But at least the atmosphere in this restaurant is quite comfortable and can bring me to think about the traditional life of the Javanese people again.
The location at Lesehan Taman Keraton is quite spacious with lots of space for us to choose from. There is also a choice of places that use chairs, or those without chairs, such as sitting in the gazebo to make yourself more familiar with each other.
That time I chose to sit in the gazebo with my partner. It was almost dark but because it was a sunny day so we could still enjoy the many remaining sunny days. The day didn't seem in a hurry to turn completely dark.
We can see the feel of this place is dominated by wood material. For lighting, this place uses chandeliers that apply the traditional type.
I love looking at the chandeliers in this place. It calms me down. Also, the light felt romantic. :) It is beautiful. For me, beauty is that simple and I am happy to be able to enjoy such simple beauty.
My Dinner
For my dinner choice that time, I chose chicken soup. I'm in the mood for comfort food, with clear soup that is rich in spices, and savory pieces of chicken.
This chicken soup dish that I chose uses the type of chicken that is treated naturally, not the type of chicken that was raised non-organically with drugs and food that contains a lot of chemical substances.
So this type of organic chicken is also of course more expensive, and usually, people who have allergies to chicken, in general, can safely eat this type of organic chicken. In the soup that was served to me, I quite liked the taste and I put the soup on my favorite list.
The chicken soup gravy looks clear, but the taste is really rich. Not lacking in taste. I have no regrets and am happy to have been satisfied with the menu even though it was our sudden decision to eat here.
For snacks, I chose fried eggplant. Whoa! Lesehan Taman Keraton serves fried eggplant which in my opinion is double yummy. The outside texture is crispy while the eggplant inside remains soft.
Crispy fried eggplant is indeed my favorite. Don't forget to dip it into the spicy chili sauce for the perfect sensation. :)
For drinks, a tempting glass of red drink is indeed ready to satisfy my taste buds. This is a combination of fresh sweet and sour passion fruit, with local fruit that is also refreshing. I love passion fruit, how about you?
Walking around Lesehan Taman Keraton can also be an exciting tour with the family. At the back, there is also a pool that is refreshing to the eye (Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the pool because I was in a hurry).
So, this place Lesehan Taman Keraton is quite recommended with its strategic location in the inter-city causeway area.
