Life is about choices. About black and white, or about colorful. We all have the right to choose our own path in life. But don't limit our lives to not seeing new things around us.
That's why, at the beginning of this year I chose something colorful to mean that in the future we have to see more diverse things. Not limiting ourselves to certain things that are monotonous and stagnant.
Coincidentally, I went to a colorful cafe that had just opened in the area around where I live. The interior and exterior design of this cafe is colorful. So I am very excited to write about these colors that symbolize that life is indeed colorful.
There are so many bright colors displayed in this cafe. The walls are dominated by green and a combination of blue that looks sweet and fresh. A little white separator is given to create a non-monotonous impression.
On the furniture used such as sofas, they use colorful sofas ranging from green, yellow, purple, pink and so on.
Actually, this cafe does not focus on coffee drinks. So it is difficult to find various variations of coffee here. So, I only ordered black coffee with palm sugar.
For serving, they do not use ceramic cups like I always find in cafes. But they only use disposable serving cups.
A cup of black coffee with brown sugar, on a luxurious, charming granite table. The aroma of coffee mixed with the delicious sweet aroma of brown sugar ingredients.
I like being in this place which gives the impression of being bright and cheerful. Of course the good light in this place makes my face glow. Do you see that too?
Next I also ordered snacks to accompany my coffee. I ordered healthier snacks instead of choosing fried snacks. I chose steamed snacks this time, namely steamed buns served with traditional srikaya jam.
Srikaya is made from a mixture of eggs, sugar, and coconut milk. We have enjoyed srikaya jam for a long time. In fact, I have known srikaya jam since I was little. Usually served to enjoy bread or buns without filling.

Steamed buns have a very soft texture, but chewy, you can find this type of bread in various Asian restaurants. More commonly you can find it in China.
With srikaya sauce, steamed buns that are not sweet will taste savory and sweet. Yummmmmy! All the perfect partners to accompany drinking coffee.
In addition, on the walls of the cafe, mirror accents are added. This allows visitors to take more aesthetic photos to post on social media.
That's why, they are also quite brilliant in arranging these places colorfully to support the appearance of the photos.
Enjoy the beginning of the year with a cup of coffee with full hope. Life is not only about black that gives you disappointment. But if your heart is wider to accept reality, then in the future you will receive more colors if your heart is ready. So, happy traveling in the new year and I pray for your success!
