GOPEK has not only expanded the group’s culinary repertoire beyond the regional dishes of Java and Bali but has also reintroduced the authentic flavors of Peranakan cuisine, with signature dishes like Mie Ayam, Nasi Goreng, and Siomay taking prominence.
These traditional dishes, revered for their deep cultural significance, celebrate the essence of everyday Indonesian meals while intertwining the culinary heritages of both Chinese and Indonesian cultures, fusing traditional recipes with modern elements. Through GOPEK, the Sarirasa Group invites guests to indulge in a rich mosaic of flavors, honoring the culinary past while embracing contemporary culinary trends.

At GOPEK, the dining experience is elevated beyond the mere act of eating; it is a celebration of tradition and meticulous care. Influenced by Chinese cultural values, where noodles and eggs represent prosperity and longevity, GOPEK pays homage to these beliefs through its signature handmade noodles, made fresh every day. Each dish is a reflection of this philosophy, offering a nourishing and meaningful experience.
GOPEK also emphasizes the importance of fresh, natural ingredients. Their No Pork, No Lard policy promotes inclusivity, while the use of natural sweeteners and colorings sourced from fruits and vegetables appeals to health-conscious diners. The dedication to non-GMO, organic ingredients further illustrate GOPEK’s commitment to mindful eating, making every meal both authentic and healthful.
