#pucuk labu

[mads-turbation]

Warung Leko Pondok Aren, Jakarta

Let me tell you a little secret, that this one particular branch made the best sambal in the entire franchise, and no I am not kidding. We often drive quite the distance just to eat here...and it is remarkable.

The meat will always be perfectly cooked and soft, and my personal favourite that I just recently discovered, yes where have I been?) is the stir fried pucuk labu (pumpkin shoots) which goes well with the ribs, hands down.

Allergy to Tongkol aka Little tuna

I went to a food stall nearby earlier for lunch. The weather was hot and I was sweating when I reach there, so I decided to tapau and chosen curry Tongkol and pucuk labu masak lemak (pumpkin shoot).

 It's not the first time I had tongkol so I was not expecting to get an allergy and swell on my entire body, I started to feel itchy after taking a few bites of that tongkol.

 I had to throw it away because I know my allergy is attacking me, it's not going to worth it if I begin to suffocate and had my entire body swollen later.

I still remember the first time I got allergy was when I stayed at her house for a few days and I was helping her to clean the cats.... That was a few months ago but I can remember a lot of things quite clearly.

That day, I searched for info and found out that the pill we've been taking for sneezing and runny nose, the piriton is actually an anti-histamine... and I was saved because they have plenty of that pill because her mom always has running nose, almost on daily basis.

The 2nd time was at her house as well, not too long after that. I was having a few bites of a bread and I suddenly feel itchy on my entire body. Sometimes I just feel amazed at how my body react to some of the food that I consume without any problem before that. Maybe my antibody is as blur as I am sometimes, I am not sure.

And as for the allergy that I had earlier today, it was not serious and it's gone now. Thank God!
