This Ramadan, ARYADUTA Menteng marks a truly special moment. Celebrating its 52nd anniversary, the iconic hotel presents a meaningful culinary collaboration with one of Indonesia’s most respected gastronomic figures, Chef William Wongso. Like a meeting of legends, this partnership transforms the iftar experience into a celebration of heritage, memory, and refined taste—set within the hotel’s timeless and elegant surroundings.
Renowned for his deep knowledge of European and Asian cuisines, Chef William Wongso introduces Ramadan Nusantara Journey, a thoughtfully curated culinary exploration that connects tradition, history, and authentic flavors from across the Indonesian archipelago and beyond. His expertise was shaped not by formal culinary schools, but through decades of hands-on learning—from street vendors to fine-dining kitchens, and by tracing dishes back to their cultural origins. His dedication has earned him both national and international recognition, including professional certification from Indonesia’s National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP) and his appointment as an Honorary Ambassador to South Korea.
At JP Bistro Restaurant, guests are invited to break their fast with a spread that is rich in both flavor and storytelling. Middle Eastern classics such as hummus, babaganoush, mint tabbouleh, and fattoush salad are served alongside Asian favorites like mixed vegetable samosa, rujak, and dal tadka. The highlight, however, lies in Chef Wongso’s signature creations—dishes that reflect his passion for Indonesian and Peranakan cuisine. These include gado-gado with his signature peanut sauce, Bangka orange and shrimp salad, Singaporean rojak nyonya, shrimp laksa, beef rendang, torch ginger chicken, Japanese eggplant balado, Medan-style stir-fried winged beans (kecipir) with anchovies, and Pekalongan style black ink squid. Each dish is carefully presented, offering bold yet balanced flavors that feel both nostalgic and refined.
The iftar experience is priced at IDR 420,000 net per person and is available throughout Ramadan, with a special Buy 4 Get 5 offer at JP Bistro Restaurant. The Ramadan spirit also extends to Shima Japanese Restaurant and Ambiente Ristorante, each offering special menus that stay true to their culinary identities.
Guests can also enjoy Ramadan hampers starting from IDR 388,000 per box, available at AKAR, the hotel’s co-working space in the lobby. Special Ramadan stay packages start from IDR 1,433,600, including breakfast or sahoor for two and iftar at JP Bistro for two. Additional offers include a 15% discount with promo code RAMADAN15 via www.aryaduta.com/menteng, and up to 20% off for Bank Mandiri, Bank BRI, and Tring! by Pegadaian cardholders.
