The concept is
founded in the the mystical and flavorful history of Indonesian culture and
cuisine. Dapour is made to showcase this rich diversity and cultural heritage
by creating a great tasting local fare prepared in the traditional artisan fashion
and adding own bespoke pan Asian touch to create a new, exciting and truly international
experience reflective of the vibrant, exciting modern Indonesia that we live
in.
Across the
Archipelago cuisine and eating plays a special place, not only the local
varieties and specialties that make up much
of the regional and national identity but the social rituals and hospitality
surrounding food in
Indonesia. A country blessed with an immense diversity of ingredients almost
unmatched anywhere in the world Indonesia’s food is both as diverse as it is
delicious.
I got the honor to review the main menu of this amazing place yesterday. I was so welcomed by the
warm ambience and very amazing decoration. The
chef himself Chef Bento, who has almost 20 years of experiences in this hospitality industry made us Norwegian Grilled Salmon, served with lemon
butter sauce, fresh salad, and mashed potato, yummm…
And the afternoon
was getting warm as the Oxtail Soup was ready to served. As a local most wanted
dish, this menu is very popular. “People are always asking for our Oxtail Soup,
especially on lunch time,” Edward Sugiharto as the Relationship Manager told us
during the food review.
The Oxtail Soup
was amazing, not like other oxtail soup, Dapour has its own way to cook this
Indonesian specialties dish. Braised traditional oxtail soup, diced vegetables,
with lots of samin oil to fade away the fat on soup. This menu goes together
with rice, sambal hijau, and emping crackers.
Besides the
amazing food, we all got the chance to look around the restaurant. They have some
exclusive private dining rooms. It is the part of Dapour with a striking
private space where the luxury and elegance, the surprising flair of Alvin’s T
Arts design meets the culinary signature of Century Park Hotel.
The decoration
was very unique. Each private room has its own theme for decoration. Not much
ornaments, but it feels so Indonesia. The compliments are also provided to fill
you needs, such as LCD and On-Screen Projector, WIFI, Free Flow
Coffee, Tea, and Juices. Personal Services is also available if you need
something.
I was very pleased to be acompanied by Jessica, my boss at WhatsNewJakarta, to meet Edo and Tri as the Century Park Hotel's Relationship Manager and Senior Marketing Manager to have this wonderful review at Dapour.
