I love hanging out with Indonesian people. Besides letting go of my homesickness, I was also free to use my mother tongue, Bahasa Indonesia.

This is my story and experience when I was in France. Because it is still a pandemic, gatherings in France are still very limited. There can only be less than 10 people in one gathering.

This time the host was Sari. She followed her husband who was studying for his doctoral degree in France. Because she was bored with nothing to do, every day she learned a new menu. As a result, all of her food is very delicious.

That day she served us with satay padang. Imagine how happy we were when we could eat satay padang with Indonesian flavors in Europe.

What a world of pleasure. Even though this was her first time cooking satay padang with only limited resources and ingredients, I can give her a 10/10. Perfect!

Not only that, Kak Sari also prepared various pastries. And the special menu is Tasya Farasya-style coffee. She said it was her first time making it. But still, it was incomparably delicious. Even though she only made one bottle. But because she saw that I really liked it. She gave me half the bottle. He said, "It's easy. If you run out, just make another one. It was intentionally made to be finished." hihi it's also fun to be a child among adults. Joke hehe.

We also certainly didn't come empty-handed. I offered to bring some snacks and coca cola less sugar. Kk dewa brought risol and Korean boiled eggs. The egg filling is brown and very delicious. Someone brought chocolate sponge and chocolate banana too. It really felt like Indonesia. Very happy! Thank you brother and sister for the warmth!

Saya senang sekali ketika berkumpul dengan orang orang Indonesia. Selain melepas rindu, juga saya bebas menggunakan bahasa ibu, yaitu Bahasa Indonesia.

Ini kisah dan pengalaman saya ketika berada di Perancis. Karena masih dalam kondisi pandemi, perkumpulan di Perancis masih sangat dibatasi. Hanya boleh kurang dari 10 orang dalam satu perkumpulan.

Kali ini yang menjadi tuan rumah adalah Kak Sari. Ia mengikuti suaminya yang sedang menempuh Pendidikan S3 di Perancis. Karena bosan tidak ada kegiatan, setiap harinya Kak Sari mempelajari menu menu baru. Alhasil semua makanan Kak Sari sangat lezat.

Hari itu beliau menyuguhkan kami dengan sate padang. Bayangkan betapa bahagianya kami ketika bisa menyantap sate padang cita rasa Indonesia di Eropa.

Sungguh sebuah kenikmatan dunia. Walau ini adalah pertama kalinya Kak Sari memasak sate padang dengan hanya modal nekat dan bahan yang terbatas, tapi saya bisa memberikan nilai 10/10. Perfect!

Tidak hanya itu, kak Sari juga menyiapkan berbagai kue kering. Dan menu special katanya adalah Kopi ala Tasya Farasya. Katanya sih itu pertama kali ia membuatnya. Tapi tetap saja, nikmat tiada tara. Padahal ia hanya membuat satu botol. Tapi karena melihatku sangat menyukainya. Ia memberikan ku setengah botolnya. Katanya “Gampang. Kalau habis ya tinggal bikin lagi. Sengaja dibikin kan emang untuk dihabisin.”hihi seru juga ya jadi anak kecil di antara orang dewasa. Becanda hehe.

Kami juga tentunya tidak datang dengan tangan kosong dong. Aku menawarkan diri untuk membawa beberapa snack dan coca cola less sugar. Kk dewa membawa risol dan telur rebus Korea. Isi telur nya berwarna coklat dan sangat nikmat. Ada yang membawa bolu coklat dan pisang coklat juga. Benar benar serasa di Indonesia. Senang banget! Makasih kakak kakak dan adik adikku untuk kehangatan ini!
