    Kopi Padang certainly has a blod flavour, but those with sensitive stomach shouldn’t worry as the coffee contains almost zero acidity.

    The unique part of this coffee, besides its original-guaranteed beans, is that the coffee is served - wait for it - in a wine glass.

    Talk about 19th-century coffee being fancy!

    Martabak Kelapa Is (Probably) Going To Extinct Soon, Taste It Quickly!

    Some call it "heart attack in a box", but being Indonesians' guilty pleasure, fatty and greasy martabak is no doubt far from being extinct.

    It can easily be found at night, sold literally on every corner of the street, guaranteed to be sold out before midnight.

    While traditional syle martabak contains peanut, chocolate, fruit jam, or egg, at Kopi Goh Leng Cafe, the martabak offers a combination of coconut filling.

    In every bite, Martabak Kelapa by Kopi Goh Leng Cafe gives you a thin, crispy crust savory bread smothered in sweet taste of coconut.

    Even if it contains complex ingredients from the chef's specials, it actually tastes simple. The simplicity, however, makes this martabak a real treat that screams for more.

    Summer Drink That Brings Fresh Feels: Limo Puruk

    In Padang, limo puruk is an offering to ancestors or to God.

    At Kopi Goh Leng Cafe, limo puruk is indeed heavenly.

    Aptly named "fresh squeezed Kaffir limes (Nicknamed Porcupine Orange)" in its menu, a glass of limo puruk offers the sensation of a summer drink with bitter freshness.

    The secret, you ask? Well, Chef Marco, the executive chef of Kopi Goh Leng Cafe, combines the freshness of citruslike fruit with savoury of salt.

    Yes, you read it right. Salt. That element from the sea.

    Funny as it sounds, the salt makes the drink leave a shockingly good aftertaste in your mouth.

    If all the fatty food you ate before makes you feel guilty, this drink will probably make you repent, both literally and figuratively. (Reporter: Sera B)
