Chapter 82

• This time Retno helped Elina in the kitchen to prepare the ingredients they would cook. Today Elina said she would make Gulai Taboh, which is a typical dish from Lampung. Some of the ingredients prepared by Elina this time included tuna, shallots, garlic, chili, candlenut, turmeric, galangal, starfruit, basil, grated coconut, lime, sugar, and of course salt.
• Because Elina needed thick coconut milk and she believed that freshly squeezed coconut milk was tastier than instant coconut milk, Retno was asked by Elina to squeeze the grated coconut with her hands. Although she was not very skilled at it, Retno still tried her best this time.
• "Ret?" Elina called out, making Retno stop her activity and turn towards where Rio's mother was.
