A few nights ago, I went to a big and popular cafe in my city. The name of the cafe is POS Kupi. This cafe can be said to be always busy. In my city for the past few years, the "Kupi" cafe trend, where "Kupi" is the Acehnese word for coffee, where Aceh is famous for coffee. There are 2 types of coffee that are cultivated in Aceh, namely Gayo coffee (Arabica) and Robusta.

Beberapa malam yang lalu, aku pergi ke sebuah cafe besar dan populer di kotaku. Nama cafenya adalah POS Kupi. Cafe ini bisa dikatakan selalu ramai. Di kotaku beberapa tahun belakangan ini memang sedang ngetren cafe "Kupi", yang mana "Kupi" adalah bahasa Aceh dari kopi, yang mana Aceh terkenal dengan kopi. Ada 2 jenis kopi yang dibudidayakan di Aceh, yaitu kopi Gayo (Arabica) dan Robusta.

The cafe is spacious. Nice place. The type of place is open (without door). You could say this is the most popular cafe in my district, I think so. There were a lot of people there at that time.

Cafenya luas. Tempatnya bagus. Tipe tempatnya terbuka (tanpa pintu). Bisa dibilang ini cafe yang paling populer di kecamatanku, kurasa begitu. Kala itu ramai yang berada di situ.

What's interesting is that the milk cans were arranged very high 😂😂 I'm confused on how to arrange them, weren't they afraid that the cans would fall? 😂😂

Yang menarik, kaleng-kaleng susu disusun tinggi sekali 😂😂 aku bingung bagaimana cara menyusunnya, apa mereka tidak takut kaleng-kaleng tersebut jatuh, ya? 😂😂

The drink I ordered at that time was Hot Teh Tarik Hijau (Green). Maybe people outside Indonesia and its surroundings will be confused by "Teh Tarik". Teh = Tea in English. Tarik = Pull in English. Teh tarik means tea that is pulled. How to make teh tarik: There are two containers, the tea is poured from the first to the second, then poured into the first, then again, then again, until frothy. This is a skill. Like this example (Youtube screenshot):

Minuman yang kupesan kala itu adalah Teh Tarik Hijau Panas. Mungkin orang luar Indonesia dan sekitarnya akan bingung dengan "Teh Tarik". Teh = Tea dalam bahasa Inggris. Tarik = Pull dalam bahasa Inggris. Teh tarik maksudnya adalah teh yang ditarik. Cara pembuatan teh tarik: Ada dua wadah, teh dituangkan dari wadah pertama ke wadah kedua, lalu dituangkan ke wadah pertama, lalu lagi, lalu lagi, sampai berbusa. Ini merupakan suatu keterampilan. Seperti ini contohnya (screenshot Youtube):

You can search on Youtube if you want to see the making of teh tarik with the keyword "teh tarik", of course.

Kalian bisa cari di Youtube kalau mau liat pembuatan teh tarik dengan kata kunci "teh tarik", tentu saja.

As the name implies, the teh tarik I ordered was green tea. The temperature was hot. Green tea is a drink that is rich in benefits, touted as the healthiest drink in the world.

Sesuai namanya, teh tarik yang kupesan adalah teh hijau. Temperaturnya panas. Teh hijau adalah minuman yang kaya khasiat, disebut-sebut sebagai minuman paling sehat di dunia.

The taste was so good. I like it, the taste was sweet and like macha, I think.

Rasanya enak sekali. Aku suka, rasanya manis dan mirip dengan macha, kurasa.

The food I ordered at that time was Rice with Geprek Chicken. Geprek chicken is chicken with a very spicy chili sauce (the chili sauce uses cayenne peppers). I asked for the chicken breast. The geprek chicken was veryyyyy delicious. It was one of the best geprek chicken I've ever eaten. If I go there again sometime, I will order it.

Makanan yang kupesan kala itu adalah Nasi Ayam Geprek. Ayam geprek adalah ayam dengan sambal yang pedas sekali (sambalnya menggunakan cabai rawit). Aku minta ayamnya bagian dada. Ayam gepreknya enakkkkk sekali. Itu adalah salah satu ayam geprek terenak yang pernah kumakan. Kalau aku ke sana lagi suatu saat, aku akan memesan itu.

As a result, it was satisfying to be there that time.

Walhasil, memuaskan berada di sana waktu itu.
