In collaboration with the Embassy of Indonesia and Garuda Indonesia, Mosaic introduces its very first International Food Festival (Indonesian Food & Cultural Festival) featuring Guest Chef Kusram Deni from Mandarin Oriental, Jakarta. Diners will be treated to a wide array of Indonesian dishes with three menus on rotation daily. Lunch is priced at RM88++ per person while dinner is at RM108++ per person (Sunday to Thursday) and RM128++ per person (Friday and Saturday). This promotion will run from 16 March to 24 March 2012.
The festival week commenced with a grand launch at Lounge at the Park and Mosaic. Guests were ushered to Lounge at the Park, enjoying Indonesian canapes and specially concocted drinks (I had a coconut one-jackfruit one which was pretty good) while waiting for the guest of honour to arrive. The festival was officiated by Mr Mulya Wirana, Charge D'Affaires of Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia with the cutting of nasi tumpeng, a signature dish used by the Indonesians for significant events. Entertainment for the evening included gamelan music, cultural dance and fashion shows.

We also had some macarons from The Mandarin Cake Shop, thanks to Holger ;) Finally got to try the calamansi macaron. What a sweet end to our night.
Calamansi macaron - perfecto! Love the refreshing taste.
To make the night even sweeter, Hubby was one of the lucky winner winning buffet dinner voucher for two at Mosaic and traditionally woven songket fabric. A lucky lady walked away with a pair of Business class tickets to Jakarta by Garuda Indonesia and 3D2N stay in Mandarin Oriental Jakarta. Hurrah, we'll be back at Mosaic again soon ;)
If you love Indonesian food, head over to Mosaic before the 24 March 2012.

ok, based on photos above, the one that intrigues me the most the rawon (beef with salted egg? oooh!). the nasi tumpang also looks like it'd be fun to eat :D
ReplyDeleteI've tried rawon once in a little eatery in Taman Desa - it's slightly different from the one here, but still nice. It's one of Hubby's favorite Indonesian dishes.
DeleteMy favorite thing would be the balinese nasi campur. hehe. :D
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the satay lilit bumbu bali and satay.And desserts!
Deleteno no to all the spicy food
ReplyDeleteyeah yeah to all the fattening sweet dessert >.<
I started the buffet at the dessert counter LOL.
DeleteHee! You posted the macarons... too tempting not to. Fun hanging out with you again :-)
ReplyDeleteYes! Good things are meant to be shared ;) Was nice chatting to you too.

The presentation for the nasi tumpang is really nice. Have only eaten it in The Warung in KL prior to this.
DeleteDoesn't it feel wrong eating Japanese or Indian food when there's so much authentic Indonesian stuff at the buffet? haha
