If you want to escape Paris life for a short spell, step into La Maison De L'Indonesie and you'll be greeted by the wonderful and adorable Eka. 'Come in, you want breakfast?!!' she shouts from behind a beaming smile enough to brighten up anyone's day, as bright as the Indonesian sunshine on a beautiful day on Komodo island, no dragons in here though. Peaceful music, plenty of recommendations on Indonesian places to visit and plenty of choice of home cooked food by Ekas mother. How more authentic can it get. Bali coffee? Oui s'il vous plais, Nazi Goreng yes please, chicken and prawn dumplings; sign me up, indo pancake with vegetables, banana frita dessert,,,, hang on, I'm going to pop! Need to do some work, if its not rush hour you can connect to the wifi, sip your coffee and get on with some work though you'll want to talk to Eka, its so much more fun. Passing through Montparnasse, pop in, get yourself a Nazi Goreng and relax. Like Arnie once said, I'll be back....

It just took me by surprise so I didn't say anything, but I checked the prices online and the most expensive is about 5 euros. It would still be a lot if it were 7 on the menu. I do not know why I was charged so much. Maybe I need to go back and ask, but it was enough to make me not want to return as I'd been looking forward to trying food here with my husband.

Maybe I should have said something, because this made me feel taken...
