3 NIGHTS AND A DAY AT JL. SABANG

Kemang nights 

crowded streets, shitty hotels, Lotte Mart and Hooters long gone 

Menteng days

palatial houses, treelined roads, Novotel Cikini and a bike lane

But Jalan Sabang has been claimed by the Defender of the Truth.

A briefing

2.4 kilometers of afternoon prayers

goat satay, mutton soup, cold Bintang

Googled and misled to Sate Pak Heri

second best on the first night

A meeting

2.9 kilometers into a narrow alley
Nasi Goreng Kebon Sirih in a paper box

burning goat meat and cold beer for dessert

second night but still second best

The Secretariat

beef grilled in fried red chilli pepper

Blue Bird pelted with meatball rendang

nasi padang, burnt eggs, singed chicken skin
Grab motorbikes running on cold beer 

Hari Raya Pankasila 

blue berets and a blue bike at Monas

Sarinah's mural and photo bombers

meat skewered at Sate Lamongan Jaya Agung

the best there is on my last day

Subalit mas malinamnam pa rin ang pinispisang kambing noong Sabado at ang adobong salugabang n'ung Linggo bagamat  bahagyang matabang ang lasa dahil sa hindi inaasahang pagpanaw.

Kahapon ay naubos sa Pamasahe ang upa sa Serbis and Selina's Gold tasted like naked melons...
