Vindex Tengker Invites Young People to Get to Know Indonesian Culinary through The Chefs Take Over Event

JAKARTA – Discussing culinary matters will never end. The trend will continue to develop, and new menus will appear not only from Indonesia but also abroad.

Seeing the increasingly rapid culinary development in Indonesia, Chef Vindex Tengker is worried that young people in Indonesia don’t know their own typical food. Because, he sees that many young people prefer Western menus.

“They know more about Western (food). “So it is important to introduce an Indonesian menu so that we can better maintain traditions,” said Chef Vindex when met at JHL Solitaire Gading Serpong, Tangerang, recently.

For this reason, through The Chefs Take Over event, Chef Vindex presents traditional Indonesian menus. However, what is unique is that these menus are still very common among the public.

“I deliberately presented an Indonesian menu that is not very common to find. “We are looking for something a little different because the aim is also to introduce Indonesian food so that it is better known to Indonesians themselves,” he explained.

Through this event, Chef Vindex served 10 menus representing provinces in Indonesia, such as fish head curry and bolimong sambal from Aceh, Padang satay from North Sumatra, and jamblang rice from Cirebon. There is also a menu of lamb with rujak spices from Yogyakarta, fried duck with black sauce from Madura, betutu men tempeh chicken from Bali, cicane chicken from Kalimantan, binte biluhuta from Gorontalo, woku grouper from Manado, and konro grilled ribs from South Sulawesi.

“The menu will be presented at the Mangan restaurant buffet at JHL Solitaire Gading Serpong. “Actually, the buffet menu is like usual, only we will present it with the chef on June 29 and 30,” said Chef Vindex.
