However, problem is just a matter of visual perspective which guided the founder, Mr. Thendy Susanto in revamping this situation as the first initiation to pursue more business.

Having a “never give up” spirit is such a natural grown attitude as Indonesians to keep fighting for better future despite all odds. Nevertheless, Indonesia is well-known for its culinary richness which always reminisce us to fill up the stomach in order to keep up with the changes.
