After the success of the Lasa Regional Food Festival in June, Dusit Thani Manila brings another culinary festival that celebrates one of the vibrant and colorful cuisines in the world— the Indonesian cuisine. Joining forces with one of the finest luxury 5 star hotels in Jakarta, Hotel Borobudur, the gastronomic adventure puts Indonesia’s vast culinary landscape at the center of Dusit Thani Manila’s all-day dining restaurant, The Pantry.

Flying all the way from Hotel Borobudur is guest Indonesian Chef Hendriyono. He meticulously prepares a curated menu of homegrown dishes, so that diners can experience the culinary marvels that their country has to offer.
Famous for its abundant flavor dishes, Indonesian cuisine is injected with fresh herbs and aromatic spices that is steeped in rich culture and traditions of Indonesia. Chef Hendriyono is working with Dusit chefs to ensure that The Pantry’s sumptuous buffet will be teeming with Indonesia’s popular culinary delights. And because Hotel Borobudur is best known for its legendary oxtail soup, Sop Buntut is definitely shouldn’t be missed.
