‘Snack’ at the Airport
I left for Medan earlier today, to attend a meeting which will take place tomorrow. For some reason, when I hopped into the taxi to go to the airport, my mind wandered off to a small stall at the airport’s food court which serves some traditional small meals such as meatball soup (bakso) and siomay (some balls made of fish and some vegetables served with peanut sauce – an Australian friend of mine calls it the ‘unidentifiable fishy object’). I had a sudden crave for bakso, and it didn’t really help that I left the house with an empty stomach.
When I checked in at the counter, I was informed that my flight was delayed for half an hour so I decided to go to the food court and order that meatball soup, since with the delay I had more time to spend.
So after I got my boarding pass, I went straight to the stall in the food court – named ‘Bowl’ – and ordered a bowl of bakso. I was a little disappointed. Although the soup itself was good but unfortunately the meatballs did not taste much. It seems it has been overcooked so that the taste has left the meatballs and is now residing in the soup. Well the good news is that the meatballs were served in that soup so it was not too bad.
