The Failed Date and Dish - Masakan Peranakan

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITYyesterday

Hello Asean Hive Community

I am recovering well from my autoimmune issue. I can use my fingers better than yesterday. Now I can write although not smoothly, but atleast rheumatoid symptom has greatly reduced and psoriatic has recovered today.

Today I won't write long, because I think I should take more rest not to get back on full throttle mode. So let me share another of my rant lol, but do not worry this is a soft mode one.

I have started to meet some new girls from some dating apps. I think that is the best way I could do regarding in the last 5 years I haven't done anything other than working 110 hours a week and having zero effort to socialize with others. Life was so hard and harsh, so I had to do everything I could to to survive and feed my whole family.

Last month, I met a new girl and I saw her as someone that was OK. I did not have high expectation because I did not have fancy cars nor nice job which paid me above 10.000 USD per month, so there was zero chance I could hook up with a super pretty one.

We decided to take a lunch on a well known restaurant that known for it's Makanan Peranakan. It was not a fine dining one but the restaurant was quite fancy. Of course the price was not cheap, I paid around $20 for both of us.

Ok the problem was that I did not like makanan peranakan. Makanan means food, and Peranakan means descendants, so Makanan peranakan should stand for a mix or blend of Chinese food with local food. Local here can be Indonesian, Malaysian or Singaporean. In general we can say Makanan Peranakan is a mix of Chinese and Malay food.

However people here often forget about that so the Makanan Peranakan people sell here are mostlikely Malay food, and I do not fond of Malay food. It is not like I dislike them, but the taste is not fit my preference.

I ordered Nasi Lemak. You can see the pictures above. Nasi Lemak is Malay food, not makanan peranakan, but they claim as makanan peranakan there. Well, I didn't care, I ordered it because I could eat that and luckily the taste was great. She ordered a black pepper seafood noodle, and I could not figure out how come black pepper noodle became Makanan peranakan.

Well again, the best part was the food turned out excellent. Of course it had to be great, I paid those for $20 !

I had this funny drink, I forgot what it's name. It tasted weird, and if you ask me, I won't order it anymore. I bought it because it was on promotion with 60% price cut. I thought it was a good deal, but it turned out to be the let down for the day.

Anyway that became the last time I met her. Somehow she keeps avoiding me for the next meet up, so I decide to let her go and wish her luck for her next meet up with somebody else.

Oh ya if you see I did not take many pictures here, because I was trying to be nice and polite to the girl. I believed it was rude to take many shots in the first meet up, as if I treated the food as something more important than the person in front of me.

Thank you for stopping by, have a good day and God Bless You all.


Thank you for coming and reading my post. I live in Jakarta, Ex-Capital City of Indonesia. I used to live by making money online, that's why I like being here, on HIVE, and in #PIMP - (Paper In My Pocket) community.

I’m glad to hear you’re recovering well! It’s nice that you’re taking time to rest and even meeting new people. That meal sounded interesting too, even if the drink was a miss!
