The relaunch of Paperduck is marked by the remarkable collaboration of three leading chefs, elevating the already exquisite cuisine to a whole new level.
Swissotel Jakarta PIK Avenue proudly announces the relaunch of Paperduck, a refined dining concept nestled inside The Chinese National restaurant. Marking this momentous occasion was an exclusive event that took place on Wednesday, 25 September 2024, featuring a masterful culinary collaboration from three distinguished chefs: Executive Chef Roger (Shen Xiao Dong), Executive Chinese Chef Kong Fook Sin, and Executive Chef Edi Pancamala. With generous support from sponsors like Tabasco, Hydro Coco, and Aussie Beef Mates, Executive Chef Edi Pancamala has crafted a stunning menu. His creations, featuring Tabasco and Hydro Coco, highlight the diverse flavors of these premium ingredients, while the Australian beef provided by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) takes center stage in the exquisite main courses. Together, these elements form a dining experience that exemplifies the mastery and creativity of the culinary team.
After an array of delightful canapés by Executive Chef Edi Pancamala, delicately infused with Tabasco, the experience continued with a hot appetizer and a sumptuous main course prepared by Executive Chinese Chef Kong Fook Sin and Chef Roger. The highlight of the evening was the Slow-cooked Aussie Beef Short Rib, paired with Crispy Shallots and Black Truffle Mushrooms, set to become a hallmark of Paperduck’s culinary offerings. Chef Shen Xiao Dong, known as Chef Roger, brings his expertise from Hangzhou’s renowned Fuchun Resort, where he has captivated discerning palates with his unique approach to modern Chinese cuisine. His culinary philosophy blends tradition with innovation, delivering exceptional flavors that are both refined and deeply rooted in Chinese heritage. Specializing in sophisticated dishes that highlight seasonal ingredients with exquisite precision, Chef Roger’s interpretation of contemporary Chinese fine dining will undoubtedly elevate Paperduck’s offerings, bringing a taste of Hangzhou to Jakarta.
Executive Chinese Chef Kong Fook Sin is celebrated for his authentic Cantonese cooking and mastery of one of the most revered dishes in Chinese cuisine: Peking Duck. At the launch event, Chef Kong presented his signature Truffle Peking Duck, an extraordinary take on the classic, combining the richness of black truffle with the delicate flavors of crispy-skinned duck. This signature dish has been the highlight of many distinguished dining experiences, and its presence at Paperduck promises to leave a lasting impression on guests. Paperduck aims to redefine the fine dining experience within The Chinese National, offering guests a truly extraordinary gastronomic journey.
