Warm Up Delights!
Do you realize that there are so many ingredients available on this earth? We can use them to warm our bodies or even cool them down. The amazing thing is that with just food and drinks we can feel warm.
Of course, in cold conditions such as when it rains or during winter. Certain ingredients really help our bodies to feel warm and improve our mood. In addition, ingredients that make our bodies warm will increase the body's immunity in general.
Especially, in my area, the spices that we put into certain foods and drinks usually function to increase the body's immunity, increase metabolism, and of course reduce fat levels in the body. Our bodies can have smooth blood flow and avoid high blood pressure and other serious diseases.
Actually, if we are used to living a healthy lifestyle in this case is consuming foods and drinks rich in spices, then our bodies will be fitter, more fit and not easily sick. Of course, it's not just health that we want to achieve, but also how we have a good mood and a productive day.
So, today I went to a mall that I haven't visited for a long time. The last time I visited this place was when I was still in college. It turns out that this mall has had many significant changes. The food and beverage sellers, as well as the fashion in this place have greatly improved compared to my last visit a few years ago.
Actually, my visit to the mall this time was not to buy something important. Like buying household equipment or buying clothes that I wanted to wear. It's not about that. Actually, I visited this place with a very simple goal, namely I wanted to fulfill my daily walking distance in the mall. Because actually this mall is very big. Just by walking around this mall I can get and fulfill the need for 10,000 steps today.
But, of course I won't go home without enjoying food and drinks from the place I visited. I decided to stop by a cafe that from the beginning I walked around this cafe had caught my attention with its exterior design.
With a bright design and lots of bright lights, it made me interested in going inside.
Because it was already dinner time, around 6 pm here, I decided to order a dinner menu. Maybe this is actually not suitable to be considered a dinner menu. But I think the menu I ordered already includes various nutrients, so I think it is enough for my body as dinner this time.
As an appetizer, I ordered spring rolls. Because this is a cheap menu, so only a small portion and I am grateful. With a small portion it will actually help control your appetite which is not excessive.
An appetizer that did not disappoint me. Suitable as an appetizer. These spring rolls are very delicious, appetizing and I want to eat the next main menu.
Next there is a popular soup menu in Thailand. Tom Yum Soup. You can see the appearance of this soup which is very appetizing.
But indeed this soup is a combination of spicy and sour. Spicy from chili, also from tamarind using tamarind and orange or lemon juice.
Of course this soup is also rich in flavor and spices. One of the spices that is quite strong is lemongrass. Here also use a lot of lemongrass pieces as garnish but it is not visible because it is already submerged in the gravy soup.
As the filling, there are meatballs, shrimp, and mushrooms that are full of nutrition. The filling of this soup is according to portion, not too little but not too much. So I feel satisfied eating at this cafe. The soup is really very refreshing and feels warm in my body when I consume this soup.
In addition, the addition of vermicelli filling makes this soup menu feel filling. A complete soup menu, warming the body and of course filling! Good food for a good mood!
To spend the rest of the time at this cafe, before I went home, I ordered a drink that also has ingredients that are rich in spices.
A traditional menu in Indonesia with a mixture of ginger and milk and various other spices. Called bandrek. When mixed, the color became brown milk.
Overall, the menus offered at this cafe have affordable prices. The atmosphere in this cafe feels comfortable because this cafe looks clean, simple, but also still looks luxurious with the arrangement of several furniture and accessories in it.
Hopefully you guys have the opportunity to enjoy food and drinks that can lift your mood to be better, and you can be enthusiastic to go through the day. See you again in my food stories. ❤️❤️❤️

How great that you visited the mall after a long time, the place looks beautiful
I love what you ordered, it looks exquisite. Enjoy it very much @anggreklestari
At the time of writing this comment in Venezuela it is 7.34 am, and just seeing those dishes made me very hungry, by the way the spring rolls look like a Venezuelan food known as empanadas, not to mention the Tom Yum Soup, I can see it is a delight, after this I am going to prepare breakfast, I will make some empanadas.
By the way, I wish a great year 2025 to you and all your family.
I feel like going to that place if given a chance to visit in your country soon. The interior is well-planned and the food looks incredibly delicious. I am not into spices but I wanna try.
The food looks delicious but my eyes were searching for rice. I'm a rice eater though. :) Have a restful night ahead.
Tom Yup Soup, a kind of delicious foods. I heard that here in our place once Ma'am and according to other it is slightly expensive and very delicious. ☺
delicious food for dinner, enjoy your dinner @anggreklestari

The mall has a very fascinating interior. More to that I agree fear food has power to get us warmed up or cool off.
Ginger and garlic are ingredients I love to add to my meal.

It is indeed a good dinner.
What lovely decor at the restaurant you visited. It has a contemporary look. It's good this mall provided you the opportunity to get your 10K steps in. But what caught my eye was the soup. I love rich and flavorful soup with rice or pasta. Sometimes I have a taste for a thick base in the winter to warm me; other times, a thinner one. Since I love seafood in my soups, the shrimp in yours looks like jumbo shrimp. The mushroom pair well with the shrimp.
You indeed had a hearty dinner meal before your return home. Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a good start to your weekend.

Hey dear
In my country, we have rich flavor soup, usually using lemomgrass, ginger, cinnamon, staranise, and more 😊
It is not just about warmth the body but indeed but health reason
I hope you have healthier day 😊❤️
You are correct. Those spices certainly do contain healthy ingredients, some for regulating digestion and blood pressure. That they taste good makes it even better to include in dishes.
Take care.

Hello, dear @anggreklestari how was your end of the year, and how has 2025 arrived. Many congratulations and above all success. That place you show us today is very nice and very light. That broth looks spectacular, and has many elements that I really like, I'm a fan of them. And yes they are very comforting. Happy weekend.🥰❤️❤️❤️
Thai food is very popular in my area. I found several Thai restaurants within a few miles of my house. The Tom Yum Soup seems to be on every menu (and not very expensive, either), but the recipe doesn't seem to be consistent. One offers shrimp, another offers duck, and another seems to be entirely vegetarian. I am tempted because the soup looks so good in your pictures, and your description is definitely tempting. However, I have a very touchy stomach and worry that the spices might be an issue.
Still....I am tempted :)))
Thai food similar with Indonesian. Mostly spicy. Yeah the filling has many variation. But the basic broth is same, sour and spicy 😊
Not recomemded for sensitive stomach
I knew it was tomyum before even reading it! Looks so good and rich with flavours sis. It's such a hearty and comfort meal to eat especially on a gloomy day.
OMG, that soup! I won't forget its name, tom yum soup. Wow! I had some tamarind paste in my fridge for a long time and never got to think I could use it for soup.
What you say about healthy eating and life style is so true. We need to have good days; sometimes it's hard to get rid of those things that prevent you from having a good and productive day, but it's a task that must be done. Sometimes the obstacle is just ourselves, our take on priorities. I've learned that the hard way, friend, but it was worth it.
May every step take you to happiness. Cheers!
You can searching how to make tom yum soup basic broth. Super easy to make it.
That is great also when you have cold 😊
Cheers!
Have a great day!
This looks really like a super comfy food, well the environment looks good too very calm and neat.
Here in Brazil, I think this type of soup would be something very popular (especially in times like winter).
Tom Yum is a neighboring country's food that looks very close to all of us.
