Sailendra offers Indonesian food

With almost all of the country's ethnic groups having their own traditional food, there is no shortage of exotic dishes available in the country.

It may take months to taste each of the dishes. Yet, JW Marriott Jakarta Hotel is organizing an event at its Sailendra restaurant where people can taste an array of dishes from across the archipelago.

The Indonesian Food Festival, from Aug. 7 to Aug. 17, will offer dishes from all the provinces of the country, ranging from cosmopolitan Jakarta, charming Sumatra, rustic Java and mystic Bali.

The menu includes nasi tumpeng (rice cone), soto ayam (chicken soup), satay, gado gado (vegetables in peanut sauce) and jajan wajik, among other delicacies.

The festival will also feature recipes from the Javanese nobility with family recipes from Kartini, a Javanese noblewoman of the 19th century.
