Lewis Freiberg is : "... a photographer from Perth, Western Australia. Photography to me is not just about taking pretty pictures, its about capturing a mood, a feeling. There is nothing that satisfies me more than the sound of a shutter slapping and the advancing of film. I love my cameras, my bikes, my city, long walks on the beach and most of all my film. I also enjoy good design, illustrations and typography, among other things. If you do too click here"
I was looking for a chinese food for dinner. Simple meals, 'Nasi goreng' or 'cap cay' or 'fu yung hai', sounded great and yummy.. I stopped by at one small restaurant named "Remaja". It was one of the most packed restaurant along Saharjo Street, South Jakarta. I had to park my car at walking distance, passing another restaurant that was surprisingly empty. The owner blocked my way and asked if I would like sit at his table. In split seconds I almost follow him. But I didn't, dont risk yourself with expired food.
I entered the restaurant and its really hot. The kuali range burner was boosting the flame while the chef with strong arm skillfully frying rice. The smell of garlic and soya sauce was tempting. One fat lady, which apparently the owner poked me asked my order. She shouted to his husband whom made note on my order. She took the notes from her husband hand and invoiced me straight away. Its quite expensive. Well, as long as it delicious. The husband count the money without seeing me nor expression, and no thanks. I bought the food not his smile anyway. not interested. =) A kid, later i know he's one of the waiter's kid ran to me with two plate of rice. I said I would take away the food not dining in... 'Oh, I thought you eat two portions'. Ups.. The fat lady stared and smiled a grim smile as if eating that much were awful. I shouted her, 'Ci, are you on diet?' staring to her "bodacious" body The husband laughed out loud...
