Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta brings the ‘Taste of Indonesia’ food series to Indonesian cuisine lovers all year long.

As a country rich in culinary traditions, Indonesia can be considered as a gastronomic heaven where flavoursome dishes come from diverse cultures across the archipelago.

This initiative also supports Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts’ culinary sustainability initiative, Rooted in Nature. Menus on offer include locally sourced ingredients to guarantee the freshness and taste of the food, as well as to recognise the local food producer.

Significant culinary activities can be seen at SATOO, which now has two dedicated signature Indonesia buffet stations, Bakso (meatball) and Satay (grilled skewers). This two dish chosen based on the research of SATOO’s guest favourite Indonesian menu.

The authentic taste is what makes the new food stations special. The hotel’s culinary team spends time on research, going to various restaurants, hawker stalls and traditional markets in the city to formulate authentic Bakso and Satay recipes for the guests.

In addition to the Indonesian culinary series, each month, the hotel’s culinary team will present different menu themes from different regions. A selection of a region’s favourite dishes will be served in the comfort of five-star venues SATOO, the hotel’s International buffet restaurant. In hotel’s elegant outlet Lobby Lounge, the menu will be served during the afternoon tea time, presented in snack size on tier plates completed with sweet cakes, pastries, coffee and tea.
