🏭Cultural Context
Dining out is a deeply social activity in Indonesia. Restaurants range from humble warungs to elaborate dining halls, and seating customs vary. In many Indonesian restaurants, you seat yourself — there's no host to guide you. In busier places, sharing tables with strangers is completely normal and even expected. Indonesians rarely dine alone — meals are communal events. If you sit at a table where strangers are already eating, a simple "boleh?" (may I?) before sitting is polite. The concept of "makan bareng" (eating together) is central to Indonesian social culture. Even brief meals become opportunities for connection, laughter, and sharing food across plates.
