As a bonded worker, taking time off just to get out of town is not easy. It takes several steps to get the permit process, well, although it's not as disciplined as one would imagine. However, doesn't every one of us work to be disciplined even considering what is the big responsibility of working in that agency.
Taking a trip out of town, once in a while in life is a must do. Moreover, this happened due to urgent circumstances, and you will definitely take the itinerary, right? So after a few days in the city of Banda Aceh yesterday I took the time to try a variety of new culinary delights here. Well, this city has changed a lot now, since 2020 I once lived in the city, now it has completely changed to a more modern city. Of course, the interesting thing that has changed is that there are lots of different culinary snacks here and that is something that you must try.
Station Coffee Premium
Station coffee premium is a very comfortable and good cafe and restaurant in my opinion. This place is a branch of a cafe in the city of Lhokseumawe, at first this cafe was popular in the city of Lhokseumawe, and grew quite rapidly so that the owner then opened a branch in the city of Banda Aceh to be exact a few years ago.
Apart from being a comfortable place, this cafe and restaurant is very close to the house I lived in while in town, right next to the boarding house so it's very easy to come to that place.
There are a number of things that attracted me to come here, other than a comfortable place. There are so many foods or snacks that you can find here. Below are some of the menus that I ordered during my visit.
Banda Croffel
Banda croffel is a croffel cake that is enjoyed with chocolate jam, the sweet and delicious taste makes me really like this. Croffel is a snack that is currently booming in Indonesia, even in my area no one sells this dish. I'm very curious about the taste of this croffel, if I usually see this only on social media. But finding this in the real world to even be able to enjoy this is a stroke of luck. I ordered 1 croffel IDR. 12,000 with 1 chocolate topping for IDR. 5,000.
In my opinion, this is a simple snack that is very delicious, the texture of croffel like dense bread is very tasty, soft and crunchy and even very suitable in combination with this sweet and creamy chocolate jam. I really like this, and I think it's the perfect dish to accompany relaxing with a cold coffee like I do.
Coffee Station Drinks
At first I was confused about what to drink here, there are lots of menus that they offer at this cafe.
Coffee station is canned coffee that only exists in this cafe, according to the seller this is the best seller drink that is most enjoyed in this cafe. The type of coffee that I ordered was avocado coffee and Spanish latte.
This coffee, poured into a small glass that already contains ice cubes. Natural freshness and distinctive coffee make me tempted by this drink. The sweetness is just right, the coffee is very flavourful, even the avocado in the coffee really has a different character from this drink. So delicious and nutritious, I love everything from this. They really think about every detail of the drinks served.
Thaican Satay
Satay is indeed a familiar dish in my area, if I usually always enjoy satay made from mutton. What happens if today's satay is prepared with a different variant. Thaichan satay is satay made from processed chicken meat without using spices like satay in general.
Thaichan satay is served with ground chili sauce topped with ebi or shrimp paste like this dish. They even add mushroom broth if you like it.
So besides that, the portion of this dish is very large, there are several pieces of rice cake, and also 6 skewers where the meat is very large. The price per portion of this dish is IDR. 22,000., and it has really paid off with the taste and the many portions served. The flavors they bring are also very good, I like that this satay has a different style from the satay I usually enjoy and it's definitely delicious.
The Area Of The Cafe
The different style of this cafe is very different from usual, if usually cafes display a style with a closed feel. Much different from this cafe, they thought of a very aesthetic design with the feel of an open area.
The rows of chairs outside are very neat, they also add a floor with small rocks, as well as small plants that add a green impression to the area.
Not only that, I like the design of the small stalls made in this style, they are lined up as a kitchen for you to order various delicious dishes such as satay and even the croffel earlier.
