"I think this is pretty good, the menu is also great. Yes, thank God, there's Ngawen. Thank you, Mas Candra," he said after touring the kitchen.

Some time ago, the kitchen served a menu of layered beef, yellow rice with fried onions, fruit salad, pickled lettuce, and dried tempeh.
"The partner was dragging the cow. It means this is pulling this," he said.
He admitted that he was ordered by the party to check the condition of the SPPG kitchen in his electoral district (dapil).
"What exactly is the SPPG that is already running like? And yesterday, he happened to be in Ngawen 1 Mas Candra while slaughtering his own cow, which is interesting," he explained.
SPPG Kitchen Opens Job Opportunities
According to him, the existence of the SPPG kitchen also creates employment opportunities and stimulates the economy for local residents.
"In addition to providing nutrition to children, it turns out that the SPPG volunteer employees are also from the area, which means increasing job opportunities in the area from the SPPG. I asked earlier, the ingredients are also from the surrounding area," he explained.
"This means that this will have a multiplier effect from MBG, which can stimulate the economy in Blora," he added.
In addition, he also appreciated the steps taken by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) which continues to make improvements so that the MBG program becomes even better.
The formation of a task force, the kitchen's eligibility to have a certificate of hygiene and sanitation (LSHS) is concrete evidence of the improvement efforts made by BGN.
"This is part of our collective struggle to achieve Golden Indonesia 2045," he said.
Meanwhile, Candra, as a kitchen partner of SPPG Ngawen 1, expressed his gratitude to the members of the Indonesian House of Representatives who took the time to directly observe the production process of the MBG menu.
"We are activating social media as a communication and information tool for beneficiaries," he told Danang.
On the other hand, the Head of the Blora MBG Task Force, Sri Setyorini, appreciated the performance of SPPG Ngawen 1 which always provides the best service for beneficiaries.
"Alhamdulillah, we would like to thank our SPPG Ngawen 1 partners for correctly implementing the SOP. We just checked the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), and it also meets good standards," he explained.
"We're the only ones who recommend that waste management collaborate with third parties every day to ensure that waste is properly disposed of," he added. (Endah/ IST )
