A LETTER TO UNCLE G ON BAKMI GM
Dearest Uncle G,
On our last day in Jakarta, we did last minute shopping with Tita Day and she treated us to lunch at Bakmi GM. According to her, Bakmi GM is a popular fast-food joint that Indonesians frequent. True enough, when we got there at 3:00 p.m., the place was still packed with dinners.
For starters, we had cold Soursop juice (Guayabano juice). While it was sweet, you could still detect that slightly sour taste. The juice was also quite refreshing and just what we needed on that hot day. I do think, however, that one should just have one glass of Soursop juice to go together with a meal. More than a glass of this juice is too much as it is think and filling.
After serving us the juice, the next thing that was placed on our table was Pangsit Goreng, which is the Indonesian version of deep-fried wonton. It came with a sweet and sour sauce. LS said that the Pangsit Goreng is similar to the fried wonton we get in Chinese restaurants. Only, the Pangsit Goreng’s wonton wrapper is “bread-ier”. I agree with her observation.
