So, what makes the Oxtail Soup and Ribs Soup at the KOE Restaurant so popular for the guests of the Java Lotus Hotel? Generally in Indonesia, we don’t want to bother choosing food from the menu book in restaurants or room service; spontaneous choices are fried rice, fried noodles, orange juice and oxtail soup!

Meanwhile, according to Arif, Chef de Cuisine, said the holder of the secret recipe, the seasoning for oxtail soup is basically the same. At Java Lotus, we added Jember’s favorite spices, ginger and cinnamon. Now, the rib soup is different with the addition of very Indonesian spices, cloves, bungalawang and cardamom. A little lead to the Arabian taste, yes.

“And one more thing that is very important, namely Sop Buntut and Sop Iga Java Lotus, the process of which is simmering (boiling over low heat) for five (5) hours. While the Culinary Team is innovating and completing other work,” said Arif.
