However, because he was bored with the world of architecture, he finally switched temporarily to become an Indomie trader. After investigating, Petra was the one who first opened warmindo in Amsterdam, you know.
"Maybe it's just because I miss noodle stalls, especially in Jogja, there are so many, student city, there are warmindo everywhere, so it's like hanging out eating simple food that's not too complicated but delicious, well, I always miss that. The thing is, here are the choices "Usually it's just fries and it's really expensive here, and it seems like it's already time, we've been waiting for a long time in Amsterdam, lots of Indonesians don't have warmindo yet, and the place is also possible," explained Petra, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Reza in Holland on Thursday ( 7/25).
