Nasi Padang and No reverse Gear

Jakarta April 24, 2010 – Somewhere in the city…

After spending more than half a day at the Inacraft 2010,we headed to our MPV to go home. Guess what? The MPV could not be reversed anymore. No matter how hard we tried putting the MPV into reverse, it kept on going forward. In the end, it had to be pushed out of the parking lot until there was enough space to move forward. When I took over the driving, I realized that the car only third and fourth gears left. So, first, second and reverse gears were gone!

Anyway, since all of us were famished after a long walk in the exhibition hall, we decided to get our lunch first. The trick was to go to a restaurant where we could easily park and not having to worry about reversing too much. Basically, if the MPV could be pushed out from the parking, that place would be selected.

Eventually we found a nasi padang restaurant by the roadside. The place was nice and food was not bad either despite being a bit pricey compared to the nasi padang places that we would normally go.

Here are the pics at the restaurant. I was too hungry to take any picture of the food but you could see some of them there. In KL when you go to a nasi padang restaurant, you choose what you want and then only they would serve you. In Jakarta, and other parts of Indonesia, I think, you just have to sit down and they would just bring everything to your table. Then you just eat whatever you want and leave the rest. You only pay for the food that you ate.

Anyway, it is not recommended to click on any of the pic above for a bigger view as we were busy making faces… You have been warned!
