Visiting chef Nur Budiyono Bio from Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta, will arrive at S.E.Asia Kitchen & Bar to give Guangzhou diners the opportunity to taste authentic Indonesian flavours from 22nd to 31st January, 2016.
The mention of Indonesian food reminds people of Nasi Goreng Komplit, Indonesian fried rice. As a tropical country, Indonesia does not produce wheat, therefore Indonesians use rice as their staple food and have developed many delicacies based on rice.
Similar with other South East Asian countries, Indonesia is rich in fresh seafood and a variety of spices. These advantages give a unique taste and personality to Indonesian cuisine. Aside from the rice dishes, Indonesia has an extensive range of snacks and street food.
Chef Nur Budiyono, who will arrive at S.E.Asia Kitchen & Bar this month, was born on Java Island, central Indonesia. Growing up with a passion for cooking and experiment with spices, he started learning secret recipes and cooking skills from his mother.
He started his professional career at Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta in 2001 as commis chef. Since then, he has been promoted to chef de partie at Satoo Kitchen, an all-day-dining restaurant featuring an international buffet spread and local delights. He has been invited as guest chef to promote authentic Indonesian cuisine at other sister Shangri-La hotels around the world.
Welcome to S.E.Asia Kitchen & Bar with your family and friends to embrace the warmth and festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. Chef Nur Budiyono highly recommends Gado-Gado, a must-try appetiser and Indonesia’s popular street food as it consists of fresh vegetables and condiments, mixed well with his tasty secret sauce and includes peanut sauce
Chef Nur Budiyono also brings along popular dishes like Nasi Goreng Komplit, an Indonesian Fired Rice, and Rendang Minang, Beef stew in Chili and coconut. Other classical food like: Ayam Penyet, spicy Grill Chicken and Ikan Panggang, Roasted fish with lemongrass.
