"During a scooter ride from Balo to Ruteng, when the rain became havier and havier. We coincidentally stopped at this place. We were soaking wet and freezing (even with a poncho). This is the kind of place that you hope to find at a moment like that. We had a kopi and a soto ayam. The soto ayam was very tastefull! The guy who did the service was really friendly and helpfull. Would definitely visit the place again if I pass by, hopefully with better weather"
