THE ARCHIPELAGO’s culinary offerings are more than mere sustenance; they are imbued with profound significance, reflecting the cultural essence of each island. Each dish is crafted using traditional spices, reflecting the cultural heritage and identity of the Indonesian people.
According to Devy, Public Relations Hotel Santika Premiere ICE-BSD City said that in the midst of the emergence of modernity, the presence of traditional Nusantara culinary traditions serves as a marker of cultural identity that will always be loved by the community.
“One of the dishes that reflects philosophy and contains many meanings is ulam rice. Ulam rice is a traditional Betawi dish that is typically served with a variety of condiments. The combination of various conductors in one plate symbolizes togetherness and complex flavor, making this dish a timeless favorite,” she said.
She explained that he was aware of the community’s appreciation for local cuisine. Santika Premiere ICE-BSD City Hotel is pleased to present ulam rice as part of the 99 Thousand menu, which is returning with other menu variants. This dish is served with an omelette, empal meat, fried chicken, and chili sauce, offering a variety of tastes.
“Using fresh ingredients to maintain the original taste, this dish creates a dining atmosphere that is full of warmth and class,” Devy noted.
She further elaborated that ulam rice is typically served with a savory taste derived from a blend of serundeng seasoning, with the rice being cooked simultaneously. A hallmark of this dish is the empal meat, which is meticulously cooked to achieve a soft texture and optimal seasoning absorption. This dish is a balanced combination of fried chicken, omelette, and chili sauce, offering a substantial and satisfying meal. Its simplicity and comfort make it well-suited for a relaxed dining experience.
“Through this dish, we believe that culinary enjoyment is about more than just delicacy, as each dish tells a unique story. Preserving local culinary traditions is a key aspect of our mission, and we are committed to ensuring that guests can continue to experience authentic flavors,” she concluded.
Ulam rice is a testament to this commitment and our dedication to maintaining the integrity of our cuisine. Ulam rice is available at Mandalika Restaurant for IDR99,000 nett. This menu will be available starting in August 2025. [traveltext.id]
