Once of its presence, this daily soup was immediately become the favorite of many people, because it is fresh, tasty and nutritious.
Wimo Ambala Bayang, Jogja artists working with the medium of photography, is a fan of Red Bean Soup KKF. Can be ascertained at any time, either noon, afternoon, or evening, if at KKF, Wimo will ask for Red Beans Soup. I do not know why he was a fanatic. I also have never questioned him hehehe. But I suspect, of course, first, because our Red Beans Soup is very tasty, the second, Wimo’s origin city is Magelang. Magelang, is a cool small town, located about 45 km north of Yogyakarta. Culinary famous of this city is Senerek. Senerek is a clear soup made of red beans too. So I suspect, KKF Red Beans Soup remind Wimo to his hometown.
