British Michelin-starred Chef Tom Aikens joins forces with Indonesian Chef Petty Elliot in collaboration with British Embassy Jakarta to present an exquisite British-Indonesia feast infused with the countries’ signature flavors, in Tom’s by Tom Aikens at The Langham, Jakarta, from 19-24 November 2024.
When accoladed abilities combine – Chef Aikens’ innovative take on British classics and Chef Elliott’s contemporary twist on Indonesian cuisine – a voyage of food awaits: with a special gastrodiplomacy menu for lunch, dinner and a Sunday Brunch buffet. Beyond the fusion dining experience, guests including British Embassy Jakarta and local media representatives also partook in a hands-on cooking class led by both chefs, wherein they learn essential techniques that blend British cuisine with Indonesian flavors.
Dishes like Tom’s Crispy Fish & Chips with Mango Sambal and Cod Fillet with Woku Sauc adorn the daily special lunch menu. An appetizing 5-course dinner menu features Chef Petty’s Mixed Vegetable Salad and Cod en Croute with Kalio Sauce, and Chef Tom’s Treacle & Whiskey Marinated Salmon and Apple Tart Fine. The Sunday Brunch ends the event with an exhaustive buffet and diverse live stations.
“Gastro-diplomacy can enhance bilateral relations through cuisine and cultural exchange in the most delicious way,” stated Amanda McLoughlin, British Chargé d’affaires. “This collaboration between British and Indonesian chefs celebrates 75 years of UK Indonesia diplomatic relations, showcasing how food and #SambalDiplomacy can bring our two nations and our people together.”
Paying tribute to the refined arts of British gastronomy and the richness of Indonesian flavors, Chef Tom and Chef Petty combine their powers for The Great British-Indonesia Feast: an extraordinary culinary collaboration that transcends geographical boundaries. Every dish on the menu works to showcase each of their signature styles.
