Heritage Food clarifies<\/p>\n
This is in response to the letter from Luciana Prawiro,
\nDisappointed by food event, published in The Jakarta Post on
\nSept. 2.<\/p>\n
Jalansutra and Sahabat Museum presented Heritage Food in
\nHeritage City at the National Archive Building on Aug. 29, as a
\nway of showing the colorful culinary and artistic heritage of
\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
This one-day event was intended to give people the opportunity
\nto appreciate the foods and culture that built Jakarta. These
\nfoods and arts have a long history and some are hard to find
\nthese days.<\/p>\n
We were truly surprised by the enthusiasm shown by the
\nvisitors. Some came for the food, some came for the rarely seen
\nart performances (Keroncong Tugu music, Tabla and Wayang Lenong
\nBetawi puppet show). Many others came to enjoy both.<\/p>\n
The number of people who came to our event far exceeded our
\nexpectations. Therefore, some hiccups occurred, especially in the
\nticketing and food supply. Nasi ulam, nasi uduk, es selendang
\nmayang, gurame kuah pecak were the people's favorites, and sold
\nout in a short time. We tried our best to replenish the supply,
\nbut there were shortages nonetheless.<\/p>\n
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience experienced by
\nvisitors in any aspects of the event. We would like to thank all
\nvisitors for coming, and for their comments and criticisms. We
\ntook all the comments and criticisms seriously, and will work
\nharder and smarter in the future.<\/p>\n
