Melia promotes traditional snacks

YOGYAKARTA: In a bid to popularize Indonesian traditional snacks as well as providing the hotel's guests with Javanese nuances, Yogyakarta Melia Purosani Hotel is presenting a Camilan Sore (Afternoon Snacks) special offer.

Offered daily at 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Camilan Sore is afternoon tea served Javanese-style, comprising a wide selection of Javanese traditional drinks such as wedang jahe (hot ginger ale) and snacks like serabi (rice cake) and lemper (steamed, sticky rice).

To give it a specific Javanese nuance, Camilan Sore is also served in the Javanese way, by using a locally-known angkringan, a cart made of bamboo usually used by local street food vendors to sell such snacks and beverages.

The elderly waitresses who serve the Camilan Sore are also dressed in traditional Javanese costume," Endah said. -- JP
