JAKARTA (JP): If you love traditional food, then Hotel Santika's food and culture promotion may be to your taste.

The hotel is organizing a two-day promotion of Sundanese food for July 24 and July 25, where guests can enjoy dinner comprising, among others, Asinan Bogor (sliced raw fruit and vegetables in a sweet and sour dressing), Lalapan Sayur (vegetable salads), Empal Daging Cirebon (Cirebon's fried beef), Ayam Bakakak Cianjur (Cianjur Bakakak chicken) and Sundanese desserts.

Apart from the food, traditional performances such as Tari Merak (Peacock Dance) and Tari Jaipong (traditional dance from West Java) will also be performed.
