“And now what is no less exciting is culinary. So Misoa Story completes the culinary experience at Pasaraya Blok M,” said Sandi, at the Grand Opening of Misoa Story, Monday, September 16 2024.
The former Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta also appreciated Misoa Story for presenting its new branch. Where Misoa means long life noodles and is a form of acculturation of Indonesian and Chinese culture which is usually referred to as Peranakan.
Peranakan culinary delights in Indonesia usually consist of dishes that use noodles, including noodles, vermicelli, laksa, kwetiau, pangsit noodles, misoa, and others.
“Several dozen years ago, I also ran a business with Mbak Nur (Sandiaga Uno’s wife), a Peranakan restaurant business and it turned out that many people were interested in it. Because we naturally like to eat Peranakan noodle food and it is in our culture,” he said.
