I was invited to attend an event at the Indonesian Consulate's Office this week. It's called…read moreCulinary Day. It was a very well-planned event. Originated from an idea of food presentation from Aurora Murabayashi, the wife of Consulate General of Japan. There were joined by the wives of several countries' consulate generals in Houston. We watched cooking demonstrations and got to try the dishes from Indonesia, India, Ukraine, Japan, Angola and Switzerland. The facility was beautiful and the atmosphere was amazing. I got to network with the food presenters. I also toured the museum promoting Indonesia. Lots of history in 75 years of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and the United States. I have heard there is an annual bazaar happening in August. I can't wait to come back to learn about the Indonesian culture and try more Indonesian cuisine.

After hearing rumors of how local Indonesians flock to the consulate on Saturdays from 11-2 for a…read moremarket style smorgasboard of authentic food, we decided to check it out. Walking into the empty consulate doors on a Saturday afternoon, we found our way into a large room with women casually sitting behind tables selling various dishes prepacked in ziploc bags and to-go boxes and ready to go. The atmostphere is very much like what you might find perhaps post-church service with families selling their home-cooked foods a la bake sale style. Each dish costs approximately $5 to $7ish dollars cash only, so between the three of us, we grabbed 3 or 4 items that looked tasty and sat down to chow down. I couldn't really tell you the names of anything we ate, but I can tell you that it was all pretty delicious and we were surprisingly very stuffed at the end. There was a banana leaf wrapped chicken and rice thingy that was tasty. There were a variety of curry coconutty saucy broths that were delicious and reminded us of filipino or thai foods. There was also a package of what were basically potato chips glazed in a VERY spicy sweet chili sauce that was like a crack addiction (or so I've heard). Overall, the selection was so-so, but apparently we arrived a little too late (1230). Apparently, there is a lot more food at 11 sharp, so we fully intend on returning here next time right from the start to get the full experience.

When we asked a legitimate question about having jury duty permanently excused, she responded in a condescending and inappropriate manner, telling my father that he could always learn English. I regret that I didn't get her name, but for reference, she appeared bilingual, had straight brown hair, and had AirPods in her ears. This behavior was rude, disrespectful, and entirely unacceptable. I hope management addresses this situation so that every visitor is treated with the professionalism and courtesy they deserve.

Before going there, we were a bit nervous and optimistic as we were visiting the Australian Consulate Office. We drove all the way from El Paso. We had limited time on our hands. In case any paper is missing or wrong, it would be very hard to go back and forth. Anyway, the lady named Megan made our day. She was such a nice lady it is hard to forget. She made the process easy. She provided the best customer service we haven't received in a long time. She is truly amazing, friendly, and efficient

There are nice comfy chairs to start on while watching and a pretty view outside of the window to look at while waiting!

The context of this review is from my daughters experience at the Spanish Consulate in Washington DC. Her experience at the Spanish Consulate was one of the worker being truly welcoming, and interested in why she was going to Spain (student Visa) and even gave hints at what to do, experience and tips on culture to make her visit more enjoyable. Pretty high bar set. At this consulate, think more the Soup Nazi in Seinfeld. get in line, look straight ahead and don't bring attention to yourself. They got the job done (up check). Were they pleasant, ehhhhh truthfully no, any tips on enjoying Angolan Culture, no way, did one of the attendants even say a word to me......no (used some form of sign (language). If you have your paperwork squared away (it is complicated and you will need a Visa service), don't make an ass of yourself, are respectful, and your check doesn't bounce, you can be in and out of there fairly quick (longest time for me was two hours, shortest time was ten minutes). There was an older lady who works there, who is very tough, but after being helped by her about ten times, I did finally get a thank you out of her (and I believe a smile). :) Waiting room is fine, and quite nice if you like European soccer. They do have a water container there (nice if a hot day in Houston), but for the love of everything that is right and holy, don't use your phone in the waiting line (or the room for that matter) or try to argue. Just like the soup Nazi bumped Elaine out of line, they will tell you "NO SOUP (Visa) FOR YOU, COME BACK THREE MONTHS!!!!!
