Febriyanto Rachmat, CEO of PT Samsaka Lestari Rasa who is also the founder of Jiiscomm, said that local culinary must continue to be preserved so that it does not become extinct due to the onslaught of menus from abroad.

“If we don’t start preserving local culinary delights, I’m sure that in the next 20 years Indonesian culinary delights could become extinct,” he said.

The Tjap Legende Culinary Festival Roadshow was held to open up opportunities for Indonesian culinary MSMEs throughout Indonesia, both those that are well-known (legend) and those that are not yet well-known (non-legend), so that they can improve the quality and make Indonesian culinary ‘class up’.
