Aceh Coffee Break

There is no relaxing time after a days work - COFFEE BREAK. Unlike in the usual Western setting, coffee break is enjoyed in between meals in the morning and in the afternoon, but in Aceh, coffee break is after office hours and it may last up to late night. Coffee break for Acehnese is the moment of bonding, chatting and smoking packs and packs of their own brand (probably the only brand in Indonesia) of cigarette and that is why if you happen to sit and enjoy coffee in one of the area’s coffee shop, you will not experience a single bite of mosquito, due to heavy smoking in the area.

Ulee Kareng is famous for their best Sumatra Coffee (and I believe it’s where Starbucks is getting their coffee bean) and a glass of freshly brewed (Aceh way) coffee will cost you only Rp 1500-2000 (PhP 8.00-12.00) and best that goes with the coffee are their local roti (bread) and other snacks that is only served in Aceh.

Aahh...enak sekalih!!!!

(so delicious!!!!)
