JAKARTA - Living two different worlds gives Harry De Fretes a unique perspective. He feels the difference between the treatment and challenges of being a senior artist and being a budding businessman.
"Different, Mas. If in the artist I have taken into account. If in my business I have not taken into account, Mas," he said in South Jakarta, Saturday, December 27.
As an artist who has been in the business for decades, he admitted that he often gets various facilities or privileges. His name that is already known makes him more appreciated.
"Maybe because he remembers me or something, so (he was greeted) 'Wow, come on, okay this is it...'," he said.
In terms of honor, he already has his own standards as a senior. However, all those privileges seem to disappear when he entered the culinary business world. Here, he has to start all over again.
"If in business? Not yet. I have to pioneer it again," he said.
His big name as "Boim" did help a little in attracting initial customers. However, in the end, what determines the success of his business is not popularity, but the quality of his product.
"And now what people care about: Is the porridge good?" he said.
He is well aware that in the business world, competition is very tight. "There are a lot of porridge makers, not just me," he said.
