Today I’m treating myself a nice breakfast, at Anomali
coffee. Anomali always been my sentimental destination for the needs of serene
place to work. Open very early, and usually packed by a lot of people from
various nationality. It reminds me of a small coffee shop at the corner of
Norway’s street, another one-night-stand favorite during my short trip to Oslo.
Not to mention that Anomali’s coffee is good (it’s people said, I rarely tried
coffee there J),
the green tea latte is so creamy, and my iced chocolate is perfect, as always.

Anomali supports local coffee. I can see on their wall
several options of local coffee; from Sumatra mandailing (strong body with
tobacco hints and earthy aroma, low acidity) to Flores Bajawa (medium body,
with citrus hints, medium acidity), and of course Java coffee (light body,
nutty, with chocolaty herbs, strong acidity). But after being here for so many
times, I realized one thing: the one who ordered Indonesian coffee the most is
usually foreigner. Kinda ironic when people who appreciate local taste is
actually them. But then again, when we see deeper, taste never lies. It’s not
about nationality per say, it can be personal preference, it can be the lack of
information, it can be…. As pragmatic as price they need to pay. Because we can
never judge reasons, from the outside-look. You can never assume alibi. We
should never. Because there always be a bigger story behind every reason, and
there always be a bigger why #haizzz

My favorite spot here is red couch on the corner, nearby
huge window with street view of busy Rasuna Said, Kuningan. Anomali coffee is
not as cute as Nanny’s pavilion, but it’s comfortable. No power plug here, love
it. It forced me to sit here for only 2 hours at the latest. So more people can
take my seat and more people can enjoy this place. The minimum power plug also
allows me to move downstairs to starbucks, where power plug holes stands like
umbrella at Kuta Beach. Haha, hidden message is: the easier you let things go,
the easier you can be grateful for what you have. Because all things will go
back to the Ultimate Creator anyway. Why keeping things as if you’ll have it forever?

| The Nachos: With a splash of bolognaise sauce, cheesy cheese, and sprinkle salt. Can't complain. |
Anomali is one of my favorite spot for simple sandwich or the
greeny Caesar salad. Or like this morning, I ordered simple nachos. Anomali
always find a way to season their food well. Not too much, it’s just
sufficiently adequate. So that, another life lessons I learn from this cafe,
too much is overwhelming. Yet, as a human being, we always be taught to push
and push beyond the boundaries. Maximizing effort, go further, do extra miles,
stretching our self. May be not all aspects in life needs that extra push? Let’s
name some of the things as the result of over-stretching action: terrorism,
vandalism, slavery, tuna-hunting, and the list goes on and on and on. Maybe we
take things for granted. We live in competitiveness era, when we need to do
things better than everybody else. So maybe, we do things a little bit too
much. And maybe we push it a little bit too hard.
