Chef Iswarni MZ
I started my own restaurant in 1982 after having received much learning and insights from my parent. I initially started my business by renting a small space and I worked my way through hardship until I had my own place for my restaurant. Long story short, the Governor of West Sumatra and his family were accustomed to dining in my restaurant. Charmed by my cookings, the Governor’s wife then asked me to be the chef for the culinary tours overseas as part of West Sumatra’s cultural introductory mission. So far I have attended culinary events in Germany twice, then in Singapore, Malaysia, Norway, and Brunei Darussalam
