When you hear the typical food of Banten, how many kinds of food can you mention? Maybe you can only name two to three types of food. Whereas the typical culinary of Banten is also diverse with different raw materials ranging from beef, milkfish to traditional cakes with rice flour as the raw material.
According to Public Relations Hotel Santika Premiere ICE-BSD City, Devy Kurnia said, to further introduce the variety of traditional Banten food, Hotel Santika Premiere ICE-BSD City presents a special menu by its flagship chef with the Banten Culinary theme.
“Banten Culinary is here to be able to introduce various typical Banten menus that may not be widely known by the public. The menu that is present is also rare and hard to find out there so you can reminisce about the food. Menus with soups to various cakes will also be served,” said Devy.
Some of the menus prepared by Mandalika Restaurant are Angeun Lada, Sate Bandeng, Rabeg Kambing, Sayur Besan, Laksa Tangerang and others. Devy continued that Banten’s typical Angeun Lada menu is a spicy red soup, a combination of coconut milk containing beef or buffalo tripe offal and several types of vegetables.
“This menu has a spicy taste that comes from chili and its distinctive aroma comes from walang leaves. While Laksa Tangerang is made from boiled white rice noodles then sprinkled with celery then doused with thick yellow sauce and complements with chicken opor, boiled eggs, tofu or potato curry,” she noted.
