If it wasn't about the atmosphere or the view, I probably wouldn't eat at a cafe. Honestly, we all look for novelty in new places, right?
If there's no good or unique view, it's better to choose a smaller place with lower prices. Especially if you're traveling, you can choose a street food vendor.
Like this time, I recommend a cafe with a good city view. I recommend it to my fellow Hivers who want to meet up.
Long story short, I was traveling to Jakarta, about 500 km from my rental house. I was visiting my husband's family.
So, I took the time to meet up with my friends who also write for Hive.
I met up with @titisnariyah and @viviehardika at Monarki Coffee.
I waited for them before they arrived. I walked from the nearest station to this cafe. So, I was exhausted. It happened to be lunchtime.
So, I ordered a heavy meal from the cafe. I ordered a rice bowl with chicken filling.
It turned out to be quite a large portion! I even only finished half of the rice and saved it for later, hehe. I'll eat it again in a few hours :)
Besides chicken, there was also an omelette. The sauce was delicious and complemented the chicken and egg perfectly.
I also needed some caffeine energy! So I ordered a hot cappuccino at this cafe. They serve this hot coffee in a simple cup.
Luckily, the latte art made me happy, so I didn't mind the disposable cup.
The strong coffee was enough to keep me energized to meet my friends!
When @viviehardika arrived, we decided to go upstairs to the cafe before we met the rest of our friends.
Whoaaaa, this is a cityscape I haven't seen from tall buildings in a long time. I used to work in Jakarta before I got married. I used to love city views like this.
So, it's kind of nostalgic. This cafe is a great choice. ❤️ I also met my friends here.
Then, @titisnariyah came in the afternoon. It was getting dark. Before we knew it, we chatted until the evening!
We had a great time, in a great spot, and with delicious food and coffee! Yay, I felt full of energy after meeting my friends!
