When i heard there's a Indonesian restaurant in Hamburg, my heart start pounding rapidly and all i wanna do is goin there. But well...maybe i was expected too high, or maybe it just was not my day. When my first step reached the door, a waitress came toward us, i assume at the same time, she want to left the room. Then she saw me and my friend, and suddenly frowned. And i was like, what the heck? Then she asked us, so curtly, in German, how many person we were, where we want to sit, cleaned the table, and then gave us the Speisekarte. She gave us nothing but a bad, unfriendly tone for a normal conversation between a waitress and customer.

We called her again after that, ready to order our food. I called her with "Hallo" and she didnt respond. "Hallo" i said again. With a subtle tone, totally.

Suddenly, she stopped washing the table, gave me a terrible glare, and said, "Ja ich komm doch gleich!"

Wow.

I did not expect that, pal.

I ordered hot tea and wasnt aware that they have some options of the taste. And she said, "Welche?" Again, in a curtly tone.

"Teh panas" i said.

"Ja, welche?" Again, in a not-so-friendly tone.

"Ah, ok. Schwarze" i said.

And then later she gave me Jasmine tea. Ok, its okay, not a big deal.

But the way she served us, unfortunately make us uncomfortable. As an Indonesian, i always told to be always kind, polite, and well mannered. Well thats why maybe Indonesians are popular with that kinda stereotype. I know that we are not in Indonesia, but at least every customer need to be well-served. I work in Gastronomy so i know what she did to us is simply unappropriate.

The food? Is amazing! Cant complain anything and they serve more than generous amount portion.

Thank you for the food, and thank you for nothing for the service 🙂.
