Modern Mexican Kitchen At Keraton At The Plaza, A Luxury Collection® Hotel
Keraton at The Plaza, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Jakarta, is pleased to announce the launch of Chef Lamberto's Modern Mexican Kitchen. The new food experience will be available from March 20, 2014 at the hotel's dining venue on the seventh floor. Prominently situated in the business district on Jalan Thamrin, Keraton at The Plaza is connected to Plaza Indonesia, Jakarta's most luxurious shopping and entertainment complex.
Chef Lamberto Valdez Lara, the culinary director of Keraton at The Plaza, one of the finest luxury hotels in Indonesia is the mastermind behind the new modern Mexican food experience at the hotel. He comments, "I am extremely excited to launch a modern interpretation of the finest and most popular dishes from my country, which I am confident that guests at Keraton at the Plaza and local residents here in Jakarta will share my passion when they come and experience the new menu."
Using premium ingredients, Chef Lamberto creates a menu that is different yet familiar to the Indonesian palette. Popular menu items such as tacos, enchiladas, burritos and fajitas are paired with unique ingredients such as grilled nopal (grilled cactus), lengua (slow cooked beef tongue) and huitlacoche (corn fungus). Chef Lamberto also uses custom made cookery, such as the tortillera (tortilla press) to make his own tortilla from fresh masa (corn dough) and flour dough.
As a true believer of the farm-to-table approach, Chef Lamberto is determined to use local produce where possible, personally selecting the freshest and finest produce that Indonesia has to offer, including working with local farmers to harvest the epazote, cactus and numerous types of chillis.
Chef Lamberto's Modern Mexican Menu will be available daily from 12pm to 3pm for lunch and 6pm to 10.30pm for dinner. A three course lunch set menu is available in the weekdays for IDR 150.000 net per person, while a three course dinner à la carte menu starts from IDR 355.000.
