Surabaya Cafe – Kollabora
A Cafe Surabaya serving Lavender Latte. The name sounds interesting, sounds beautiful. Well for me the word “Lavender” automatically reminds me of a field full of purple/lavender flower, relaxing atmosphere, and so on (thanks @loccitane for your propaganda ). OR those spray can of bug spray/insect killer (baygon shayyy dengan wangi lavender). Nothing in between. Oh there […]

Over the past few years some people finally muster the courage to take a stand […]
Shao Kao Surabaya
Shao Kao. I believe in Chinese that means skewers (?). Basically most of your favourite food items are skewered then grilled to perfection, with a dash of savoury or bbq sauce. Here in Shao Kao Surabaya, I strongly believe the savoury glaze that I always ordered consists of salt and some cumin and 5 spices […]
