As you know, my garden is currently being replanted. Just like when I first started gardening. There are many things I have to do. Because I am the only designer of my garden.
This time, I processed used planting media. I took out the used planting media from the polybag and then mixed them with burnt husks and compost.
After working hard all day in the garden, I invited my husband to eat out for dinner. I feel like I want to faint. :(
In fact, fatigue makes me not in the mood to eat rice. Of course, I have to eat something to replenish my energy.
I went to a cafe near my house that I hadn't visited for a long time. At that time, they had a bad taste in food. But some time ago, I heard from my friend that this cafe had changed chefs.
So, this time, I dared to try this cafe. The most important thing is that it is close to home. So, if something disappointing happens, at least I can anticipate that feeling.
The condition of the cafe still hasn't changed. Still filled with lots of native plants, not artificial trees. So, it feels cool around the cafe. Because I chose a semi outdoor area.
I ordered a Matcha Milkshake, with Fish and Chips as a main course dish.
As usual, my drink order came first. A combination of green tea powder (Matcha) with milk. I think the taste is pretty good, not bad.
They use quality Matcha powder. There is still a bitter sensation from the Matcha ingredients and that's good.
It's just that this iced Matcha drink tastes too sweet. I think it's unbalanced. But, I can still drink this menu, even though I can't finish this drink.
Next, for the main course, I was very surprised! As stated in the title of my blog this time. As soon as this food arrived, I was really shocked because I have never seen a portion of fish and chips this bad. I want to cry :(
This menu is more suitable to be said to be just French fries. Meanwhile, fish pieces are seen so poor! :( small bites also just for pieces. How cruel!
Of course, this really surprised me. What about other complements? The salad seems ordinary but there is no problem with the taste. The vegetables they use are also fresh and still have a crunchy texture.
But overall, I'm still shocked. I asked the waiter who delivered my order. It turns out they just changed chefs again a month ago. What poor cafe management.
I think, next time I won't come to the cafe again for food. If I really have to, maybe I'll come for the coffee.
At least, the green atmosphere of this cafe makes me feel calm and relaxed. Nothing worth it at all. Just a valuable experience for us to rethink our decision to choose a cafe.
So, have you had an experience eating out that really surprised you?
Thank you for reading my blog and reblog if you want my blog this time worthy of reading by others.

My surprise very similar, hehe. I ordered Fish & Chips from a place I have been to several times a couple of days ago for lunch. Never had a bad experience there. I never tried their fish so was thinking it's got to be good. I was wrong the breading was bland and the fish was solid not flaky. Tarter sauce bad as well, I basically had French fries for lunch,haha
sometimes yeah we got suprised from life 😅
So that was a negative surprise 😕. if I were you, the food wouldn't be enough for me after working hard in the garden . Rather eat home-cooked food hehe . But the drink is undoubtedly refreshing
!PIZZA
I get used to weight lifting using dumbbells, so it will not makes my appetite increase ehehe
Wow, you are strong then.. so it does help control our appetite.. nice .
yes, when get older we need to keep our body balance ehehe
That's a lot of heavy lifting in the garden for you. Well deserved meal out
When the replanting phase coming, so many work to do. But after that, just slow work like watering. 😊
Thank you for stopping by
Have a great day
sounds like well deserved eating out after all of that hard work!
yeahhh I am always on the hunt for hidden food gems, just wrote a post on my latest, will post tomorrow for sure as then it will be done.
There is never enough food hidden gem hunting!
❤️ just do the things we like for sure 😊
Greetings beautiful friend, how sad that you have been disappointed again and too bad about the change of chef. The smoothie looks beautiful as well as the potatoes, but the dish really looks very poor. A hug and thanks for sharing your experience. I admire how you work your land with love. A hug and infinite blessings
we need to do things with love so it will give us better results ❤️
thank you
Weldone my friend, I am always thrilled by the foods you post somethings and I make me keep wondering when I am going to be a big chef to prepare things like this. It's good to go for a better treat sometimes after a stressful work. It's helps us feel relaxed.
just go for your dream. keep working 😊
Thanks friend
I think I saw your blog at the wrong time. Reading this at 4 am in the morning makes my stomach krrr~ haha. Actually, I don't like matcha drinks. So I will focus on food. At least the food still looks good in plating. At first, I thought that the fish looked mianture. You know those reels that make food using powder? But it looks delicious to me.
Well, if you pay for that food at an expensive cost, I think it's not really worth it, and you expect more. But if you pay for it cheaply, you should expect the food to be like that. You can also give their new chef feedback or your food experience on those so they can improve them.
ehehe reading food blog at 4 am is worse time 😛
Fish & Fries? I highly recommend you eat this in Ireland!
If I can fly 😊
The green tea looks awesome and fresh and yay you did a lot of work in the garden!!!
my garden is needed big work for now ehehe
Omg...you are really so hardworking....
After so much hard work, it is fun to eat tasty food.
This shake is new to me ...
Thank you for your support
Once is enough, twice is too much ma'am.😊
I was curious about your feedback on the cafe only to find out that you find it disappointing again.
I think they will change another chef next month.😁😅
ehehe so difficult to find good chef 😊
True.. 😊 A good chef with attitude is so hard to find.😊
Without a doubt, it is a great idea to go out to dinner after hard work in the garden, you are doing a great job there dear friend @anggreklestari
You have a beautiful cafe near home, I love the natural atmosphere. What a shame that the dinner menu did not meet your expectations, it was undoubtedly a big mistake to change the chef.
I take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful weekend.
thank you for your time, reading my blog.
I hope you have great day with your family

I think it must be a release to have dinner in the cafe after working in the garden, sis. Your fish n chip looked amazing sis, i love fish n chip!
but yeah unfortunately the portion is so pity ehehe
Woah it made me feel sorry, sis. One was not enough then
Keren kaka..
Terima kasih
Sama2 kaka..
I'm in the same situation/scenario as you stated in your blog. I've been in a restaurant last time where I can say "I'd prefer to come back here just for a coffee/shake, not for their food". 😌
yeah many local restaurants not good to serve non local food. better to not have it on book menu if they can not cook it
Hi brother @anggreklestari
He was very impressed with the drinks and good food, especially after being tired in the garden
This milk green tea drink reminds me of something when my college days with friends were very fun
Happy Eid sorry to be born and inward.
Did you really lifting and mix the cement? It looks hard for a woman.. You strong!
that’s for my garden 🪴
