In 2018, while chasing a street vendor balancing cakes on her head for a global magazine commission, John stumbled upon a hidden billiard tucked away in West Jakarta. Intrigued, he went back months later and, honestly, his mind was blown. The vibe was pure, unfiltered chaos in the best way possible.
The undisputed MVP of the place was the owner—a legendary gentleman who simultaneously cooked, served food, ran the shop, and casually hopped into games to school his customers. This series is a raw, fast-paced look at his multi-tasking universe, where neighborhood dining met local pool sharks.
Recently, during some free time, John felt nostalgic and decided to drop by for a game. Sadly, the tables are gone; the vibrant billiard hub has now turned into a fried banana shop. It’s a bittersweet reminder of how quickly urban spaces shift, making these frames a permanent capsule of a time and energy that no longer exist.
