Warung Ijo
The interior wall décor was very simple - a bicycle frame, different types of tables and chairs and even swing seats were used to decorate the restaurant.

Prepare Breadfruit for Cooking
The breadfruit is sometimes mistaken for a young jackfruit! This fruit has very thin, bumpy skin compared to the jackfruit and the flesh is white or pale yellow. The breadfruit certainly does not taste like bread. It has a mild taste of a potato and is starchy and you can roast, bake, steam, grill, stir fry……… just like you would handle a potato.
