 <br/> # Prologue Being able to meet up with friends or loved ones to create pleasant conversation is a precious gift from God. Indeed, currently creating meetings is very difficult due to various occupations. The sophisticated factor of technology sometimes makes people feel that they have enough to do face to face via phones. In fact, direct meetings are sensations that cannot be replaced with digitally. That is why we must be able to take time to meet up with our friends. One place that is the right choice for holding meetings is a kind of food place such as a restaurant and cafe. No need for a fancy place, you and your friends can choose a simple cafe that serves **drinks to warm up the atmosphere of meeting with friends** For the people of Indonesia, simple Indonesian drinks are the right choice. A refreshing drink, and not much composition in the drink. Because, with these drinks, it does not interfere with comfort when the conversation in the meeting takes place. Traditional Indonesian drinks, one of which you can enjoy with your friends at the **Kafe Betawi**. This typical drink dish from the cafe will add to the exciting atmosphere of the meeting. <center>  </center> # About The Kafe Betawi In accordance with the name of this cafe, **Kafe Betawi** is a café that serves a typical Betawi menu. What is **Betawi**? Betawi is one type of tribe in Indonesia in the city of Jakarta. The Betawi tribe also originated from a mixture of various ethnicities and nationalities in ancient times, for example marriage between citizens of Indonesia and the Netherlands. Betawi food has a distinctive flavor and is now increasingly difficult to find in the life of the city of Jakarta, which increasingly feels developed into a metropolitan. At present the Jakarta City dish has more international menu offerings because it is influenced by many foreigners who are migrating in Jakarta. The many international menus that enter Jakarta, are also caused by modern lifestyles centered in Jakarta as the capital of Indonesia. <center>  </center> **Kafe Betawi** wants to present the traditional taste of Betawi in this modern era for people especially Jakarta people who long for Betawi cuisine. **Kafe Betawi** was founded in 1992 at Pondok Indah Mall Jakarta, and to date has had many outlets in other cities such as Surabaya, Balikpapan and Bali. # Signature Traditional Drinks <center>  </center> In the current edition of Yummy Traveler, I talked about the topic **"Beverages With Friends."** That's why I first discussed drinks that you can choose to accompany your meeting with friends. **- Betawi Juice** This drink consists of a mixture of savory Coconut mixed with Tape, Avocado, young coconut, and sweet syrup. This drink is claimed to be only in **Kafe Betawi** and you cannot find it in other cafes or restaurants. **- Wedang Jahe Sereh (Gingerly Goodness)** Consists of the composition of ginger, lemon grass **- Pretty In Pink (Wedang Uwuh)** It consists of ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, lemon grass, and cardamon **- Honey Lime (Jeruk Nipis dengan Madu)** This drink consists of lime and honey. It tastes sweet and slightly sour, refreshing! **- Zingy Zoo (Kencur Jeruk Nipis)** The menu that has this unique name consists of galanga and lime **- Morning Kick (Egg Coffee)** This drink is a unique way for Indonesians to drink coffee with an egg mixture. Yup, this drink consists of hot coffee mixed with eggs. You must try the uniqueness of the taste! **- Morning Puch (Egg Tea)** This is almost like its composition with Morning Kick. The difference, Morning Puch consists of tea mixed with hot tea. **- Sweet & Spicy (Bandrek Madu)** ` <center>  </center> # Indonesian Traditional Drinks My Choice and My Friends Besides serving typical Betawi drinks, of course **Kafe Betawi** serves Indonesian special drinks. Me and my friends ordered a menu that was very popular in various circles in Indonesia, and the price was cheap. ## Bandrek (Sweet & Spicy) <center>  </center> I grew up in my hometown with this drink. This traditional drink is very useful for maintaining the resilience of the body. My mother usually makes this drink when I have a fever. That's why I ordered this drink, which I haven't been drinking for a long time. I also ordered this drink because my body was tired and needed extra energy for a meeting because I went to this cafe with my colleagues and clients to discuss work. Drinks in Indonesian called "Bandrek" consist of the composition of ginger, honey and milk. Imagine how warm this drink is! This drink warms my body and becomes a mood booster for me. ## Tea, served hot or cold Asian communities, especially Indonesia cannot live without tea! Tea is a drink that is always consumed by Asians, while eating, or while relaxing gather together with friends. If European countries have wine to warm up the atmosphere of meeting conversations, then the Indonesian people have tea! You can choose tea that is served cold or hot. Both are highly recommended because they are very simple, but refreshing or even warming your body. # Orange Juice Just like tea drinks, this drink can be served hot or cold, according to your taste, and it feels equally refreshing. # Betawi's Snack <center>  </center> You need snacks to accompany your drinking atmosphere. So, I suggest snacks in the form of traditional Betawi cakes that I ordered. This traditional cake is called Kue Rangi. <center>  </center> Rangi cake consists of Sago flour and coconut ingredients so that it tastes savory. This street snack is already very difficult to find in big cities like Jakarta, although the origin of the area from this Rangi cake comes from Jakarta. # About Places <center>  </center> The design of Kafe Betawi's place looks clean and modern, with a touch of oriental design. The lights seem traditional but also modern. Green is the dominant color in the decoration on the cafe wall. <center>  </center> The chairs used are made from rattan, to display the traditional impression but still match the modern feel. This place is modeled open so visitors can see the mall area. **Kafe Betawi** is indeed located in crowded malls. <center>  </center> <center>  </center> This cafe is indeed of interest to visitors so that my colleagues and I have to make reservations in advance before coming to this place. # What if you are hungry? Previously, I did discuss drinks. Well, then I will discuss food at the **Kafe Betawi**. <center>  </center> After I finished meeting, I ordered food. I choose Satay which is served with Soto Betawi sauce. If you visit Indonesia, you must try this menu! You also have to try Betawi food in this place. ## SOTO BETAWI: Soto Betawi has a thick coconut milk sauce, mixed with spices produced by the Indonesian archipelago. The contents consist of meat, lung, tripe, and kikil. The other complementary ingredients that must be on the menu are Emping, a type of crackers made from seeds that are so unique! ## LONTONG CAP GOMEH This piece of rice cake served with thick Betawi sauce is indeed very popular and has many variations. But it is truly a taste of spices that make this menu thick soup to be a favorite of Indonesian people. # Final Word For Yummy Traveler at Kafe Betawi <center>  </center> If you miss the times of the taste of street food with typical Betawi characteristics, you are advised to stop by here. If you don't have a problem with prices, then this is the right choice for you. You can choose traditional Indonesian drinks to create fun conversations with friends. Don't forget to save your cellphone while having a meeting, Don't let the cellphone spoil the atmosphere of a pleasant meeting! If you have a problem with prices, I suggest that you don't choose this place because in my opinion this cafe has a high price. Of course it's expensive because this cafe is in a prestigious mall in Jakarta. For residents of Jakarta, of course the price at **Kafe Betawi** is a reasonable price. But still, you have a choice. For those of you who really want to get an authentic taste of Betawi, then **Kafe Betaw**i is the right place.
