The event was held at SKYE which is one of the highest rooftop restaurant in Jakarta. There is an outdoor-concept lounge area overlooking stunning Jakarta skyline, and there is also a large restaurant area with exclusive and elegant interiors.

The stunning presentation is evident in this dish, the beet used to be a beautiful element and garnish with a dominant taste.

Next, we were presented with Brenebon by one of the Indonesian senior chef, Vindex Tengker, of course quite familiar to the us in Indonesia. This is a typical Manado food, red bean soup served with a oxtail and foie gras dumplings. The red bean soup was thick, the dark color tasted sweet, with the tender oxtail. It's just a layer of dumpling skin feels quite thick, but for the taste is quite tasty and delicious.
