Kapanlagi.com - Bams' mother, Desire Tarigan, from the former band Samson, apparently doesn't want to sit still in her old age. Desire chose to be creative by opening Mamitoko, a food stall that sells various foods on Friday (1/4) in the Pondok Indah area of South Jakarta.
When met, Desire admitted that her idea started from pure curiosity. Especially since during this pandemic all activities are done virtually or rely on digital means.
1. Long-Time Hobby
Especially after becoming a single parent, Desire's activities have become increasingly busy. Especially in the culinary field, which has been her long-time hobby.
"Initially, I just enjoyed doing something on my own at home. Then, when I liked it, it turned out that someone tasted it and said it was delicious. Then I was told that I had to share it so that everyone would know," said Desire Tarigan.
"I thought it would be good to share and could absorb labor to help me. It's reducing unemployment," she continued.
2. Started as a Joke

Although it started as a joke, Desire's cooking is now in high demand. Even not only in Jakarta, the demand for her cooking also comes from outside the city.
Desire is also increasingly enthusiastic because she always receives support from friends to develop her business. Not to mention, special support from her son, Bams, who often gives support for the progress of his mother's business.
"Basically, the first ones to try my mother's cooking were her children. If it's good, they say it's good, they have to be honest. This is a form of testing before it is distributed outside," said Bams.
3. Proud
Of course, as a son, Bams is proud to see the creativity his mother has shown. He also doesn't mind his mother's activities as long as she is happy doing them.
"So far, I'm really happy, because who wouldn't be happy if my mother's cooking could be appreciated by people," Bams concluded.
