Choose comfortable food for you, you deserve to receive kindness even though it's not from other people, but appreciation from yourself, for those of you who have struggled every day to find the best version for yourself.
Hi, how are you today? Are you okay after celebrating the holidays, or your other big day? It doesn't matter if you're not okay. You don't have to be fine.
After I went through many phases towards the healing process from deteriorating mental health, I just realized, we are not fully alive to be okay. Precisely from feeling not okay, we will create something valuable, creative works to make our lives better.
We cannot predict what will happen in life. Sometimes we experience bad things, but I'm sure there will be more good things that we receive.
So with comfort food, at least we can feel comfortable, better, and gather energy to get through the days that are not easy.
Fried Snacks
These days I imagine eating salty, crispy food, accompanied by a cup of iced coffee. And I want to go to a Chinese concept cafe where I usually eat good dimsum.
So I went to “NELAYAN CAFE” looking for food that could be my escape from my bad mood during the holidays.
At first, I was confused about what to order. As usual, I'm always confused about choosing a list of foods. Have any women experienced my thing like me? Always having trouble choosing food at a cafe? LOL.
Finally, I chose to order fried snacks.
Bee Hive Snacks With Yams Stuffed with Chicken and Mushrooms
There was a snack that caught my attention and I had never tried it before. Bee Hive Snacks With Yams Stuffed with Chicken and Mushrooms sounds so delicious. I imagined the beehive-shaped food would be so crispy that it was appetizing!
So, I decided to order Bee Hive Snacks With Yams Stuffed with Chicken and Mushrooms. And sure enough, it looks unique as well as appetizing because I like crunchy food.
The stuffing inside is melting! The chicken and mushroom flavors are well-balanced and equally strong. Also, the taste of yams is used as an external ingredient to wrap the filling before being wrapped with bee-hive crunch.
Spring Rolls Filled with Shrimp Salad
Another fried food I ordered was the Spring Rolls Filled with Shrimp Salad. Smeared with mayonnaise topping, it's even more delicious.
But the filling was too filling, and I quickly got bored with this menu. Although delicious, still I have fallen in love with the previous menu, Bee Hive Snacks With Yams Filled with Chicken and Mushrooms.
Durian Pancakes
After pampering myself with crispy and salty fried food, I finally closed the taste with sweet DURIAN PANCAKES, my favorite. Because I'm a durian lover.
The softness of the durian flesh in the cakes makes my tongue enjoy what is called the comfort that triggers happiness. Always delicious, because it's my favorite!
Do you like durians? If you don't like it, then I'm not surprised. You need a suitable place for you to like durian because not all places have the quality of durian that makes you like it. :)
Iced Cappuccino
Sip something pleasant, and let it escape all your troubles even for a moment. Don't we need to pause for a moment to think about our problems so we can think of solutions to our problems?
I opted for the Iced Cappuccino and breathed a sigh of relief for today which was quite tiring but worth being grateful for.
Enjoy the holidays towards the turn of the year, and be grateful for everything we get or even what we haven't got because we are in the process. :)
