    But, Chef Sisca's dedication in culinary field is irreplaceable. 

    At the age of 70 (and at her 50 years as a culinary expert), she still looks as pretty as she was in Aroma's first episode 23 years ago. At the Endeus TV festival, Kitchenesia.com asked her a question or two.

    Tell us about your culinary career and your current activity?

    Before joining Aroma, I was a college teacher for Trisakti School of Hospitality.

    Then in 1996, I joined the TV show for the first time. Public responses were great that made Aroma lasted for 11 years and broadcasted in 3 different channels.

    Currently, I become a speaker in offline cooking workshops. 

    Youth todays tend to consume instant food such as instant noodles or nugget. What do you think cause this phenomenon?

    Ads are the major cause.

    They tend to diminish many important cooking steps.

    For example, ads only display boiling steps in cooking instant noodle.

    Then, they serve the food with fried egg and noodles. That's why young audience imitate this step,and consume instant noodles without nutrition sources like vegetables and egg. It is really unhealthy.
