A Culinary Journey Inspired by Indonesia's Rich Culinary Heritage.

Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta proudly introduces the 'Mustikarasa' program, a new culinary initiative inspired by the historical Indonesian cookbook. As part of their 2024 campaign, "The Legend Lives On," this monthly event celebrates Indonesia's diverse culinary heritage, inviting guests to savor the authentic flavors preserved within the cookbook's pages.

Inspired by Indonesia's founding president, IR Soekarno, the Mustikarasa cookbook serves as a culinary compendium, recording the vibrant recipes of Indonesia. President Soekarno's deep appreciation for the nation's diversity led to the inception of this cookbook, recognizing food as a unifying force transcending boundaries. Through the Mustikarasa rotation program, guests can embark on a culinary journey spanning the archipelago, experiencing the rich flavors of Indonesian cuisine and celebrating its diverse culinary traditions.

In August, they take a moment to deeply reflect on President Soekarno's pivotal period in Ende, Flores, where he developed his vision for Indonesia's independence. This significant chapter of his life was characterized by his active involvement with the local community and his engagement in creative pursuits such as theater, music, and writing, all of which contributed to shaping his ideological framework for the nation's future. The hotel's anniversary celebration draws inspiration from this historic era, showcasing traditional cuisine and beverages from Ende, Flores.

Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta, an iconic witness to the country's historical events, draws inspiration from significant locales in the nation's history, including the vibrant melting pot of cultures in Sunda Kelapa. This port city, a crucial hub for global maritime trade, attracted merchants from diverse cultures, influencing Indonesian dishes showcased in the Mustikarasa program.

Harald Fitzek, General Manager of Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta, emphasizes Indonesia's rich diversity and the hotel's commitment to introducing guests to its fascinating aspects. The Mustikarasa rotation program pays tribute to the diverse flavors shaping Indonesia's culinary landscape, offering guests a chance to experience the nation's essence through food and gain a deeper understanding of its vibrant culture and heritage.

Reflecting on President Soekarno’s transformative period in Ende, Flores, the program incorporates traditional foods unique to the region. These menus, available until the end of the year at Signatures Jakarta, feature regional menu changes every two months and rotating menu variations every two weeks.

With the Mustikarasa program, Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta provides a profound experience that sparks a desire to explore further the culinary charm and cultural richness of Indonesia.
