Our curated menu is inspired by the popular Indonesian Rijsttafel, or “rice table”, served in Holland. Rijsttafel, a Dutch word that literally translates to "rice table", is an Indonesian elaborate meal adapted by the Dutch. It is a myriad of shareable dishes ranging from mild to spicy in true feast fashion, and you simply help yourself to the selections as you wish.
