Eat Out with Family

My hometown has two distinctive characteristics: batik and megono. I may have written about both of them many times before, but even so, I will still write about megono again at a more recent moment.

To recap, megono or nasi megono is plain white rice served with megono, which is chopped young jackfruit seasoned with special spices. Yesterday, when my family and I took my eldest nephew to his dormitory after a long holiday,

On the way home, my sister suggested we eat nasi megono near the town square, and we agreed. The place was in the town square area but not very close. Our family was their first customer that day because they had just opened their stall. LOL.

This tented stall was located on the side of the road and the other side was a rice field, so there were two contrasting views in front and behind us. The concept of eating here was that the food was already prepared in front of us: rice, sambal, various fried foods, and various satays, including pepes ikan (fish cooked in banana leaves).

The types of satay available included: quail egg satay, odeng satay, sausage satay, and satay made from chicken liver, gizzards, and intestines. I liked the quail eggs and chicken gizzards the most. So when my rice arrived, I immediately opened the banana leaf wrapper. And can you see that tempting sambal terasi? OMG! Who could resist trying it? For me, this is my favourite. We each ate according to our own appetites, but I could only manage one portion, while the others had two portions. It's quite normal for people to eat more than two portions of this rice dish, because the portions are quite small.

I also didn't miss the opportunity to take photos together. I remember the words I found on social media, that while the whole family is still together and healthy, don't forget to make lots of beautiful memories together. So I often ask them to take photos and go out together.

That afternoon ended with full stomachs and a comfortable journey home. The weather was sunny until the afternoon. Thank you for reading my writing and see you next time.
