Tendi, who is also the founder of the Bumbu Desa Restaurant, shared his personal experience going to the Semawis Market in Semarang, Central Java.
At the night market in Semarang’s Chinatown district, which offers an array of dishes, he did not know which eatery he was going to pick because none of them had family-friendly labels.
Another thing that he emphasized was cleanliness, especially regarding clean water supply.
“Washing buckets should never be visible to visitors. Everything needs to be hygienic, with a proper water supply system,” he added. (kes)
