August won Indonesia cooking competition and had her opportunity to serve her
fish-based cooking to President Joko Widodo at State Place. Her name is Putri Ayu Marta Tilaar.

behind her “Marta Tilaar†name, she invited her to Jakarta. With
her mother, Putri told us the meaning of her name. “So my mom always a fan of Dr.
Martha, when I was born she put Martha Tilaar name on my name,†said Putri.

when she gave the name, she really wish I will be like Dr. Martha one day. It’s
her pray,†she continued.

mother also attended lunch with Dr. Martha Tilaar and Wulan Tilaar. This casual
lunch also bring such unforgetabble moments. “Thank God Putri grown to be a
good girl. She helps me a lot in daily basis. Who would ever have thought, that
