YOGYAKARTA - President Joko Widodo enjoyed a Javanese bath at Warung Bakmi Pak Peleyang, located in the corner of North Square, Yogyakarta City.

President Jokowi, who wore a brown T-shirt, arrived at the tent stall at around 20.00 WIB with his youngest son Kaesang Pangarep and Erina Gudono's son-in-law.

In addition to the godog bath, President Jokowi also ordered fried noodles and fried rice.

According to ANTARA's observation, customers are willing to queue waiting until the number one person in Indonesia has finished eating the culinary dish.

They then jostled to ask for a photo when President Joko Widodo was about to leave the shop.

To the media crew, Pele, the owner of Warung Bakmi Pak Pelemeng admitted that he received a sudden notification on Thursday (1/6) at around 19.00 WIB.

Receiving this information, Pele rushed to prepare three Presidential orders, namely boiled noodles, fried noodles, and fried rice.

"But he asked for a little bit so he could feel everything," he said.

According to a request from the Presidential Decree, he also vacated three tables, even though at that time the shop was in full condition.

"(Customers) agree with everyone, they are very happy, but with a note, they will ask for a shake, and take a photo together," said the man who has been selling Javanese noodles since 1983.

According to him, the President and his entourage spent no less than 100 servings.

"Earlier I was confused, I was just about it. I told me to pay Rp. 3 million, the total. But there were a lot, I asked everything first, now that's what (made) expensive," said Pele.

In addition to the North Square area of Yogyakarta, Pele also opened two stall branches in Godean, Sleman and Sembungan, Bangunjiwo, Kasihan, Bantul.

Despite the arrival of the number one person in Indonesia, Pele admitted that he was not nervous because he was used to receiving visits from a number of officials in the country.

"I'm not nervous, it's normal. In the past, Megawati, I've also been," he said.
