Hello lovely people…
This is my first night in Labuan Bajo. Though there are many things that i want to write in here. But, i dont think i am ready yet. So, let me share to you about my first dinner experience. I arrived in Labuan Bajo around 2 p.m and since i have a flight with 2 transit, it drained my energy a lot. I have headache and i just dont feel good all around. I want to explore the area but sadly, i cant since the raining was pretty hard in the whole evening. For dinner, I decided to just eat in Where i stay. Since i an still unfamiliar with the city and i dont have enough energy to explore yet.
The name is The Container.
The address is jl. Lamber Kape, Wae Kelambu, Komodo, Kabupaten Manggarai Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur.
This is what the container looks like. Its a simple dining place. When i came, the place is basically empty as it can be seen in the picture. So i am free to eat wherever i want and such. The table and chair is clean and that is also what i love the most about this place. Everything is clean, you can hardly see anything dirty in here, including the restaurant.
This is their menu. Surprisingly, they have a lot of menu. When i came here in the afternoon, i saw there was a group of teenager cook a suki and ordering dimsum in here. To be honest, i really want to do the same. Sadly, i cant because i am only alone and i have a very limited stomach capacity. So i restrict myself with only ordering one food. But looking at the menu, i an pretty surprised that they have such a wide variant if menu. We can do grill and suki in small place like this, its very interesting and unexpected.
My food.
This is Nasi Goreng Jawa ( Javanese Fried Rice ). I am usually not fond of rice because sometime rice is a bit too heavy for me. But when my energy low and i need some boost to have the strength facing the next day, i always try to eat something with rice. I specifically choose to order Nasi Goreng or friend rice is because j want toe at rice but as light as possible. There are other options like to eat rice with chicken but i dont feel like eating chicken at the time. I choose javanese fried rice because the waitress said that this is the spiciest fried rice that they have. Still, i dont have big expectations. I am quite picky especially with the taste of local food. That is why when i traveling i mostly will look for foreign food such as japanese or mexican food. The reason is bcause i usuallh already know a good taste of local food since the food in my city is really tasty. I was taken by surprise at how tasty this javanese fried rice that they have. Eating fried rice might be boring because it’s something we eat a lot of times during our life but they somehow can bring out a new taste that i have never try, and still make it good. Its not as spicy but the salt, pepper, everything put in perfect amount. The chips is nice too especially when we eat them with rice. This is supposedly with shredded chicken too but since i dont feel like eating chicken, i asked them to switch it with vegetables.
This is mint tea. Initially i want to order Orange Juice because i want to drink something refreshing. Big sadly they run out of the orange. So i choose the other chilling options, which is mint tea. I asked to have a warm mint tea. Such a perfect drink in a cold weather.
The money that i spent in here is 44.000 idr.
Javanese fried rice : 30.000 idr
Mint Tea : 14.000 idr
