And like in any warung, the woman-owner never behaves “bossy” to her guest. She never shows to her guess, that she is the owner of that simple warung. But she is always serving very politely. Sometimes, this warung owner becomes a good chatting friend for his lonely guess, who comes alone just to drink coffe and wants to chatt on anything. Every warung owner, respects their guess...

Correction, mispelled. Actually not "guess", but "guest".... Apologize me.

Pak Ganja,

It was only yesterday that I spent a good 3 hours chit chatting with a Pandai Keris, on matters pertaining to keris, in a warong over "teh tarik and roti canai". I could see the looks on the other patrons of the warong when the Pandai Keris took out a few kerises (including a sundang & a badik) from his big bag. Well, I guessed we were at the wrong warong.......

Maybe they thought you were going to rob the warong... The same reaction, I think, will happen in any warung in my country too. But of course, you will be welcome, if you're just talking and talking keris for hours in waroeng. No addition charge needed. But just more smile needed. Smiling, is sometimes a rare thing somewhere else... Anyway, this "keris waroeng kopi" is a pleasant place to chat and talk about keris. Talking keris in a waroeng style...

Yes David,

You know well which is the best taste of coffee. Luwak, or cevet cat, always choose the best ripe coffee from trees. So, the luwak waste (the coffee beans are still unchanged), is the most expensive natural coffee in Java... You may taste such coffee in Bedono, mountaineous village between Magelang and Semarang, Central Java. There are some "kedai kopi" or warung kopi of luwak waste. It is better to have your luwak coffee in the morning...

BTW, some mranggi also use old coffee tree wood for warangka. I've seen once, and I think it is quite good too... And good too, for keris hilts...
