How serious should we continue to take COVID-19?
March 2020 - that is for sure an unforgettable date for everyone of our generation. It was a moment in which fear was around the world, that imprecise information was spreading quickly and impacting people from one side of the planet to another. Isn’t it crazy how, with the exception of a few countries, the same safety measures were being implemented in such different places? Where we come from, what we eat and we do with our lives simply don’t matter within this subject?
Well, these are answers we don’t know - in fact, we may never have them.
It was commonly said that whatever this virus was, a major change was being brought with it to the world. Although it hasn’t ended yet, some things we are learning and this is a good thing: to be still learning and to admit that.
When my girlfriend and I were going to back to Bali, in January of this year, after having some time with our family in our home town, things were already… weird. The number of cases in China were growing drastically, news started to focus on that, and we had been recommended to wear masks and apply hand sanitizer often whilst in the plane.
Of course, we never imagined to be living what we are right now (or what we have lived already?), but even if it had the presence only in China, at that moment, it was already a big time thing.
When I arrived in Alchemy, unsurprisingly, nothing was being said about the virus, however, I’ve always had the habit of reading the news in the morning and there it was all over the place.
One of the very first acts we took was to buy (what we considered to be enough for a while) hand sanitizers. Since February, each of our members are carrying a hand sanitizer with them and we encouraged them to be using even outside work. Wasn’t that a good reason to start to pay even more attention to our contributors hygiene?
When The Day came, we followed the instructions given by the government and Banjar. We kept the restaurant closed for a few days, which was scary, because in the existence of Alchemy, that actually had never happened. But it gave us fuel to study what could be done in order to thrive under these circumstances. Having our staff healthy was our number 1 priority, we had to think quick what we could do in order to protect our community and to be safe at the same. In Alchemy, there isn’t any decision taken without the participation of our staff: from closing on that few days, to reopen. They should understand what they are doing, and why…
Despite the social distancing, we worked even more closer to each other. We wanted to know how we were feeling, how our family was and if there was anything we could do better.
We looked for more and more beneficial products to our costumers; we launched our YouTube channel with videos with the most healthy recipes you could ever have; we literally gave classes to people of how well specific products could be good for our health; we opened a picnic area just across Alchemy in which people could be more distant to each other, but still having a good time…
Almost 8 months have now passed by, we remain open and that is still not over. Will the COVID-19 be over one day?
As a matter of fact, I am of the opinion that we, as an establishment, can’t put ourselves in a position of judgment. Although we serve the best quality and nutritious food we can possibly do, we don’t think it is up to us decide whether or not it is a good time not to follow the recommendations given by authorities and intellectuals worldwide. Of course we have our own beliefs and everybody
is free to do whatever they want, but at Alchemy, COVID-19 is taken seriously and we will continue to give our best to protect our community and to be safe.
You will still see our collaborators using mask, we will still ask for you to use hand sanitizer and we may check your temperature before entering. That all is because we care and because we should focus on what we can do better: serve healthy food with love and attention.
In parallel, innovative ideas are coming alive and we can’t wait to share them with you!
Love is present at Alchemy and your well being matter to us!

It's definitely a question we need to keep revisiting. While initial global panic may have subsided since March 2020, understanding the evolving variants and their impact is crucial. Remember the early days of lockdowns, fueled by uncertainty? It felt like everyone, regardless of location or lifestyle, was connecting through shared anxiety – almost like a global Omegle session, but instead of random chats, it was shared fear and misinformation! Vigilance and reliable information remain key.

Çikolata, dünya çapında en sevilen tatlardan biri olarak, binlerce yıldır insanların damaklarını şenlendirmektedir. Kakao çekirdeklerinden elde edilen çikolata, tarih boyunca farklı kültürler ve coğrafyalarda değişik şekillerde tüketilmiştir. İlk olarak MÖ 2000'lerde Orta Amerika'da, özellikle Maya ve Aztek uygarlıkları tarafından keşfedilen çikolata, başlangıçta genellikle içecek olarak tüketiliyordu. Günümüzde ise çikolata, şekerlemelerden pastalara, içeceklerden tatlılara kadar birçok farklı formda karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
Çikolatanın temel bileşeni, kakao, aslında oldukça besleyicidir. Kakao, zengin bir antioksidan kaynağı olup, içerdiği flavonoidler sayesinde kalp sağlığını destekleyebilir. Ayrıca çikolata, serotonin ve endorfin gibi “mutluluk hormonları” üretimine yardımcı olarak ruh halini iyileştirebilir. Özellikle bitter çikolata, bu faydaları daha yoğun bir şekilde sunar. Ancak, çikolatanın şeker ve yağ içeriği de göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, aşırı tüketiminin sağlık açısından olumsuz etkiler yaratabileceği unutulmamalıdır.
Çikolata, dünyada en çok sevilen ve tüketilen tatlılardan biridir. Tarihçesi, eski Meksika uygarlıklarına kadar uzanır. Aztekler ve Mayalar, çikolatayı kakao olarak kullanırlardı. Onlar, kakao çekirdeklerini öğüterek bir içecek yapar ve bu içeceği sadece elit sınıf ve dini ritüellerdeki insanlar için tüketirlerdi. Avrupa'ya çikolata, 16. yüzyılda, İspanyol kaşifler tarafından getirildi. Zamanla şeker eklenerek tatlandırıldı ve bugünkü formuna yaklaşıldı. Çikolata, hem tatlı hem de kültürel bir miras olarak dünyanın dört bir yanında yaygın hale geldi.
Çikolatanın üretim süreci, karmaşık ve uzun bir yolculuktur. İlk olarak kakao çekirdekleri, tropikal bölgelerdeki kakao ağaçlarından toplanır. Çekirdekler, fermente edilip kurutuldukten sonra kavrulurlar. Kavurma işleminden sonra çekirdeklerin kabukları soyulur ve kalan kakao çekirdeği toz haline getirilir. Çikolata üreticileri, bu kakaoyu şeker, süt ve vanilya gibi malzemelerle karıştırarak,…
