JAKARTA, Feb 25 (The Straits Times/ANN): The last place Indonesian Warji Utama expected to see a stall selling mie bakso, or meatball noodles, was in a video game.

And the more Mr Warji played adventure game A Space For The Unbound, the more he was reminded of home, with its local references such as Indomie, the instant noodles brand, and the fruit-and-vegetable salad rujak.
