Now Warmo is managed by Saryoto, who is also the second successor. Saryoto also tells the story of how Warmo started. It all began with our ancestors who migrated to Jakarta in the 1930s.

Then Saryoto's own father made a living by selling snacks and coffee. However, many becak drivers from Tegal requested for heavier meals.

"That's where it all started with selling rice (the beginning of warteg). At first, the side dishes were ordinary, but over time people started to know and the menu expanded. Especially from my father's time until mine (the successor), Warmo has always been open 24 hours," said Saryoto when interviewed by the Kapanlagi.com team recently.

2. Signature Menu

Warmo is one of the first generation wartegs and has been standing since 1969. Not only that, this warteg is also not open 24 hours.

As for the menu itself, there is no specific signature dish, but there is one menu that has always been there. What is it? Saryoto answered, round eggs in rendang broth.

"But the main thing is that there is no specific signature dish, because people's tastes have always been different," he continued.

"But most of the artists who come here have a normal style. Ordinary customers. Oh yes, Dede Yusuf often comes here too. There's also Katon Bagaskara, the vocalist of Netral (NTRL), who is bald and comes here almost every week, the last time was at the beginning of January," explained Saryoto again.

The price is also affordable, depending on the side dishes chosen. It's so delicious that many customers always add more without realizing that they have eaten more than one portion.

Indeed, the taste itself is unquestionable. Even Saryoto wants to reveal the secret. What is it?

"Since my father's time until now, I have never changed the cook. The cook in the back has been working with me for about 30 years. This warteg is often sought after by young people for heavy meals because it's open 24 hours. In the future, Warmo will continue to operate like in my father's time and my time, still a legend," he concluded.
