Indonesian cabbage borscht

Lexi has been living in Jogja for a week in exchange for students. He was sent by the Ukrainian government to study in Jogja. A city in Indonesia that is full of the culture of the Kingdom of Mataram. I have experienced Jogja specialties that have a tendency to taste manias.
Suddenly he missed the cuisine of eastern Europe, cabbage borscht.
"I want to eat my family's food," he told his Indonesian friends.
"How does it feel?'
"A little sour and feels fresh."
"OK, I'll take you to a small shop near the campus. It is called "Sayur asem", mean sour soup "
That afternoon the weather was very hot. They broke through the traffic that started solid. Arriving at the small dining house Indonesian friends ordered the restaurant's typical food menu.
One bowl of soup is served with a plate of rice and salted fish and chili paste. The aroma is tempting enough. At that time Lexi was not very interested.
He still doubts whether it feels as good as the aroma or home cooking in his country.
Finally he tried to eat. When the tongue touches the soup and the spicy sauce feels so good.
He felt happy even though it wasn't cabbage borscht, but it was very tasty.
