Lunch from Warung Ijo

Gosh, it was soooo good to see D and N. It has been wayyyy too long. We had them over at ours. Ordered in small portions of food from Warung Ijo via Oddle. It's a place which I've been meaning to check out but I never got around to it. Might as well order in lunch and check out their Indonesian vegetarian flavors. 

We definitely wouldn't be able to finish that much food, so I ordered prudently. The delivery was super efficient and arrived a whole lot earlier than its stated hour. That was fine. The oven would keep the food warm. We shared the carbs in the form of nasi goreng si itam buah keluak and kwetiau goreng. Added on sambal fried fish, jamur asam manis, belado tauhu and tempe telor, and stir-fried spinach. Oh, and just for fun, emping! I asked for extra sambal belado. It was spicy! Food flavors were pretty good. Then I realized what is missing. Belachan and ikan bilis. Hahahaha. 

Our friends also brought an eggplant salad that they had rustled up at home. Awwwww. The ingredients, i.e. the vegetables were all homegrown. 💚 The small black eggplants were GOOD. I love its texture and flavour. They made an extra box of just grilled eggplants for us to keep. We could just toss in some leaves for lunch tomorrow, or a piece of sous vide chicken breast, if the man prefers. 

It was great to get together for a chat over an easy lunch. Food was secondary, tbh. Seeing them was the highlight of the week. We've missed them very much. The hours simply flew by. It's wonderful how valuable friendships are always picked up from where it's left off. Not that we haven't been in contact. We have, over texts and such. In a way, when language is what we're all great at, we never lost touch.
