For some people, cobras are scary reptiles. However, in the hands of Sri Sulistyowati Sarjono, the cobra became an extreme culinary champion. This 44 year old woman opened an extreme culinary business called Kobra Imperial Kitchen Restaurant. He has been running this business for 23 years.
"Because actually I started out, before that I already had the basics of Kobra but had not yet opened a restaurant but was more into traditional herbal medicine. Why did I even think about Kobra, because we were looking for a medicine for my grandmother, my grandmother was suffering from terminal cancer when this medicine was discovered, "My grandmother was not helped, but many people can be helped with our treatment after this treatment was discovered. So it is actually a very ancient concoction, ancient Chinese is what it's called," explained Sri Sulistyowati.
He said that all parts of the cobra snake have health benefits. Including the meat which he developed as a culinary business. Apart from herbal medicine, he is able to mix cobra meat into various delicious foods. Starting from spicy sour cobra, tom yam goong cobra, grilled cobra, cobra steak, cobra chips, cobra rica-rica, cobra burger and various other menu choices.
"There are cobra burgers too, small children also like them. So you don't see the cobra, but at the same time it's treated. Usually small children get itchy like that. When they eat it, their skin becomes good. So there are lots of benefits, including for children who Asthma. Also, when you eat this it's very good, the result is that the asthma doesn't go away. Then, if your teenage children have acne like that, the results can be two kinds "It's accelerated, but if it's still small it immediately disappears as soon as we give it cobra oil, that's what we usually use," explained Sri Sulistyowati.

Well, with treatment "Our term, or our therapy, is meant to improve a person's body condition so that they don't get sick easily, even if they are weak, we also increase their vitality so that the function of their body organs can return to perfection and they can experience a very significant recovery," concluded Sri Sulistyowati.
