Archipelago

As the world’s largest archipelago with more than 17,000 islands and more than 1,300 distinct ethnic groups, Indonesia has been blessed with rich culinary diversity. Indonesian cuisine is spice-based, rich in flavor, and colorful. At this event we want to present the re-creation of some authentic Indonesian dishes into innovative-modern presentations using mostly locally sourced ingredients. Beyond dining experience, this event is about empathizing in our philosophy of the future culinary: “Go to the future by going back to the roots.”

This event is a performative event incorporating art and culinary experience. It will be a night where the food and culture enthusiasts have multi-sensory experience, by enjoying a 5-course dinner of Indonesian food, audio-visual performance by Berlin-based VJ Claude Steiner (https://claudesteiner.ch), and Indonesian traditional dance. ARCHIPELAGO is the first collaboration between two Indonesian femalepreneurs based in Zürich: Ayu (Sendok Garpu) and Lidya (Foodtivism).
