There are so many articles on the internet about people who got successful at 25. Like becoming a CEO at 25, going to school in Europe at 25, having a high salary at 25, or getting married at 25.

I am still not getting success at 25, I still have a long way to go to success, my paycheck is on Jakarta standard, I am not able to study in Europe, and I am still single. But, no matter what, I am still grateful.

I am still grateful because at least I can still eat delicious food, for 10 thousand Rupiahs. Thanks to a local, Padang restaurant, who created a 10 thousand Rupiahs package.

Bintang Saudara

Rumah Makan Bintang Saudara is on of a Padangnese restaurant who had 10 thousand Rupiahs package. That restaurant is located in Jln. Anggrek 3, Karet Kuningan, Setiabudi, Jakarta Selatan. That restaurant isn’t in online map, yet. But it’s close to Perbanas Institute, and close to the Kebab store.

The menu is so varied, for 10 thousand Rupiahs you can choose local mashed potato (perkedel), egg, or chicken.

The menu

And then like any other Padang food, you can get green chili sauce, gulai nangka (nangka is jackfruit in Indonesian language), and then rice. For a free drink, just choose hot tea without sugar. It’s the best choice after eating tasty food, containing coconut milk and spicy.

I’m not good at food photography

One portion is enough for me, but if you think it’s not enough for you, maybe you can try to takeaway. Because in every Padang restaurant, the takeaway portion is more than the dine-in portion.

Because it is cheap and delicious, Rumah Makan Bintang Saudara is always busy with customers, especially at lunchtime.

So, I’m grateful for my office location just near to this restaurant, so I still can eat delicious food without spending a lot of money, because like I said before, my paycheck is Jakarta standard, but I’m grateful. Thanks, GOD!
