Among them, in a dinner of lunch, no servants will serve the two leaders of the country.
Both Jokowi and PM Muhyuddin independently eat the food that has been served.
“All who do this lunch will be independent. No one serves. Everything has been presented at the dining table and all of them are sterilizing,” Heru said.
In addition, the cutlery used to two state leaders and delegations will be guaranteed security.
The forks, spoon, and plates will be prepared at the heating site.
“Later each will take the typical conditions at the time of the health protocol,” he said.
In a lunch fender, his party provides a number of Indonesian special foods.
The main menu served is typical Indonesian rendang.
He hopes that the menu and banquet of lunch will be an impression for PM Malaysia.
“Surely the request menus from him, among others, what is the name of Indonesian rendang and of course must also be enjoyed by state guests. Hopefully this can get what is called something that is not forgotten, something memorable and other menus that are all nuanced hot, warm,” he concluded.
