Dream - Mie Gacoan is known for its spiciness. It is not uncommon to see Mie Gacoan outlets crowded with visitors lining up due to its reasonably pocket-friendly price.

The popularity of Mie Gacoan has expanded after President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and his ministers visited Mie Gacoan in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). But do you know the meaning of the name Mie Gacoan?

The owner of Mie Gacoan restaurant is named Anton Kurniawan. Through his LinkedIn account, Anton wrote that he is the CEO and Founder of PT Pesta Pora Abadi. However, not much information is shared by Anton.

Quoting Merdeka.com, this spicy noodle restaurant has been established since early 2016. The management claims that Mie Gacoan is a trademark of the number one spicy noodle restaurant chain in Indonesia, which is a subsidiary of PT Pesta Pora Abadi.

"Previously, President Jokowi made a vlog while eating 'mie gacoan' (a type of noodle) with Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basuki Hadimuljono and Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman, in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) on Tuesday, April 30, 2024 evening."

"Enjoying the signature culinary delights and meeting the community in Mataram last night. Let us support the development of local businesses that also enhance the region's economy," expressed Jokowi."

Not long after, the order for gacoan noodles arrived, and they, who were sitting at the same table, enjoyed it together. However, President Jokowi admitted that the noodles he ate were very spicy.
