I don't Feel Far Away From My Family Cause Here's I Feel Homey

Hi guys...

I told you that I'm alone in Jakarta. But I didn't tell you that I have so many neighbors here. They were humble and caring about me. If I compared my neighbors now with the old one, they are the best!

Sometimes, I get involved conversation with them and that makes stress release.

And did you know that their kids really cute. Sometimes I opened my house as their playground. I don't know why does they like playing in my house. I have no toys. But I love it! Sometimes I can't handle their cuteness.

All my neighbors' kids. They're cute, aren't?

They were always mess up my house.

As neighbors we had good bond and in the 3rd Ramadan, we have iftar together. We have special tradition called Liwetan

Liwetan is an activity to eat together on the basis of banana leaves as a substitute for plates. The word of Liwetan is originally based on Sundanese language, taken from the rice name, Nasi Liwet.

Nasi Liwet is rice using the liwet process. It was about the technique of cooking rice by mixing rice and coconut milk in one pot.

The rice served on banana leaves with all complements. There's a Tempeh Fried, Carp grill, Chicken Grill, Soy Sambal (it's kind of chili sauce with soy) like the picture below.

this is carp grill, a side dish I loved the most to*

Besides the carp grill we have chicken grill. That is the visual of chicken before being grilled.

It's milk fish, another side dish in our iftar menu.

The pickled fruit. It was spicy and fresh at the same time

Can you guess, who was preparing all of that? Obviously not me, haha... I participate nothing! Their cooking skill was 1000 level above me so I participated nothing except prepare the mat.

For this big iftar, we were joint venture about IDR 30.000 or USD 2.15. For all delicious food, it was cheap and the important things was our togetherness in Ramadan.

How was your fasting, guys?
