In celebration of the hotel’s 52nd anniversary, ARYADUTA Menteng shares their historic prominence with a special dining experience by the culinary maestro Chef William Wongso.
This year’s Ramadan feels especially meaningful at ARYADUTA Menteng as the storied hotel celebrates its 52nd anniversary with a soulful culinary collaboration. With masterful dishes led by renowned Indonesian gastronomic authority William Wongso, the experience promises an evening of refined culinary expertise and all of the holy month essentials.
Situated in the heart of Jakarta’s business district, the ARYADUTA Menteng places guests within easy reach of premier shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations. While 302 thoughtfully appointed rooms and suites frame sweeping panoramic views of the city’s ever-evolving skyline. At the hotel’s famed JP Bistro, Ramadan unfolds through the Ramadan Nusantara Journey, a flavour expedition that traces heritage, memory, and regional traditions across Indonesia’s vast culinary landscape.
This experience encapsulates Chef Wongso’s lifelong learning journey, from humble street vendors to grand international kitchens. Shaping the dishes in grounded authenticity yet presented with refined elegance, as the Iftar spread offers to weave together Middle Eastern mezze like hummus, babaganoush, mint tabbouleh, and fattoush salad, alongside Asian comforts including samosas, rujak, and dal tadka.
Signature creations reveal deeper storytelling: vibrant gado-gado with his famed peanut sauce, Selada Bangka orange and shrimp, aromatic laksa udang, and Singapore rojak Nyonya. Hearty mains continue the narrative with slow-simmered beef rendang, fragrant ayam kecombrang, inky Pekalongan black squid, smoky eggplant balado, and sautéed winged beans with teri Medan.
Each plate balances depth, texture, and memory, expressing what the chef calls Sapta Rasa: a harmony of seven essential flavour dimensions. Beyond JP Bistro, festive menus also grace Shima Japanese Restaurant and Ambiente Ristorante, each presenting celebratory interpretations rooted in their own culinary traditions.
Together, the season’s offerings transform iftar into an immersive cultural experience, leaving lasting impressions for guests. A place guests can go to where heritage, flavour, and togetherness unfold in a celebration that lingers well beyond the holy month’s final evening.
