Beach Food
I am in the most fabulous cafe in Chicago. Its called Kopi and it is the ideal of the type of thing that I would like to do when I am finished with this jaunt around the world. The owners met while in Indonesia, Kopi is coffee in Indonesian. They had spent years travelling, but wanted to ’do something with their lives’, so returned to their native Chicago and opened up a ’travellers cafe’.
The cafe hosts a big filing cabinet where people write their individual travelling stories and includes the best and most up to date tips from people who have just returned from all over the world. There is an expensive collective of travellers chic clothing, books, and jewellery. This mostly serves as a place where unknowing friends and relatives try to buy sensitive birthday gifts for the way ward.
The menu and atmosphere is great. There are enough people using online recruitment software in the corner on their lap tops, but it is genuinely filled with visitors on a round the world jaunt, and those stuck back in their home town after one.
They include some of those great displaced travellers favourites on the menu. Things you would have eaten on Kuta beach like banana pancakes and Swiss Rosti, done in a sort of tongue in cheek fashion. They have great coffee brewed in the different ways that they do it around the world, and some fine example of Indonesia food. There is a tasty and authentic nasi goreng, along with a some what adventurous interpretation of the national dish gado gado. This is generally a cold salad covered with a spicy peanut sauce. It is a good rendition, but it is missing the krupuk, the brilliant fried prawn cracker. Inspiration for me and my stomach.
