After a pleasant burger lunch on my previous post, we wanted to just hang out and chill for a while, a luxury privilege that we could rarely afford back in our days of being a hotelier at Tanamera Cafe Surabaya. Well, @luckyhutama was the last to join our club of ex-hoteliers, no surprise that he’s the most excited one to just sit around and do nothing on days off. Not weekend off, as there are no such thing for true hoteliers.
@tanameracoffee Surabaya was our place of choice and although I personally have visited this place multiple times, it still feels inviting to me. Perhaps the homy interior, friendly service team, relaxing atmosphere, sweet memories with someone, or a combo of them? Heaven knows.
We ordered coffees and bites, mine being the Tangerine Latte, and a plate of Onion Rings together with Tahu Cireng for the nibbles. Onion rings were ok, the batter is thick, reminds me of beer battered fish n chips. Tahu Cireng was great. This basically is fried stuffed tofu, and deep fried until both the tofu and stuffing becomes crispy and chewy on the inside. Cireng means aci digoreng/fried tapioca (dough), is one of favourite fritter menu in my hometown. The chewiness of the dough combined with the crispiness of the tofu made them perfect couple of ingredients to entertain these hungry and exhausted souls.
Tangerine Latte, to me, is alright. Always a good idea to combine coffee drinks with citrus, and this is another example of that brilliancy. Sugar syrup was served separately, I don’t need one as the drink itself is already sweet from the tangerine syrup (?) Cool to have it once in a while, but Tanamera’s Cold White would always be my go-to chilled coffee option since it is one of numerous signature items available only at Tanamera Cafe Surabaya.
