Hunting for Lontong Sayur (vegetable rice cake) in the morning 🌿
Mornings always have a simple yet meaningful story. The air is still cool, the village streets aren't too busy, and the aroma of food from roadside stalls seems to signal the beginning of the day. This morning, I decided to hunt for lontong sayur (vegetable rice cake), a typical breakfast dish that always manages to lift my spirits.
The atmosphere at the stall was so friendly. People were patiently queuing, some sitting on their motorbikes waiting, and quite a few chatting with friendly smiles. The vendors were deft, their hands busy preparing the lontong (rice cake) in a tempting yellow coconut milk sauce, topped with slices of pumpkin, long beans, and a sprinkling of fried onions. It was so simple, yet incredibly delicious.
Interestingly, hunting for lontong sayur (vegetable rice cake) wasn't just about eating, but also about togetherness. There was a warm feeling when greeting those waiting with me, and there were little stories forged from those brief morning encounters. It felt like lontong sayur not only filled my stomach but also filled my heart with a calming atmosphere.
Having lontong sayur for breakfast isn't a luxury, but that's precisely what makes it so special. A single serving of lontong sayur provides energy to start the day, a renewed sense of enthusiasm, and a renewed sense of gratitude.
Morning, lontong sayur, and a simple story a combination that never fails to make life feel more beautiful.
