Water at a low temperature
خلفية ثقافية
Drinking cold water while eating is often discouraged by elders who believe it 'freezes' the fat in your food. The term 'adem' is often used instead of 'dingin' to describe a refreshing coolness that is both physical and spiritual. In many Balinese households, offering a glass of cold water to a visitor is the first step of hospitality before serving coffee or snacks. The 'dispenser' is a ubiquitous appliance in Jakarta offices, providing instant 'air dingin' and 'air panas'.
Ordering at a Warung
