Independence on a Plate: ASHTA’s Culinary Tribute to Indonesia

At ASHTA, we believe independence is more than a historic moment; it’s a living, breathing spirit we carry into every day. This August, that spirit comes alive through food. To mark Indonesia’s Independence Day, our restaurants have reimagined the flavors that shaped us. 

They’ve taken beloved dishes, ingredients, and traditions, the ones rooted deep in our collective memory, and infused them with creativity, pride, and a touch of modern artistry. What you’ll taste is not just a menu, but a story of heritage told in bold flavors and beautiful presentations.

Bartisserie

Bartisserie sets the tone with a playful ode to comfort food in Indonesia. Your familiar martabak telur gets a luxurious upgrade with a delicate poached egg. Sweet tooth? The Martabak Keju Kacang Cokelat bursts with chocochips, nuts, and cheese, served alongside a scoop of ice cream. And then comes the Martabomb, a daring fusion of Indonesian-style martabak and fluffy bomboloni, with fillings like indulgent Choco Peanut or creamy Milky Cheese. Wash it down with the tangy kick of Rujak Tumbuk Granita or the cheerful fizz of Soda Gembira.

Café Kitsuné

Café Kitsuné offers Independence Day with a refined twist. Sip on Bika Ambon Cold Brew, cool down with Calamansi Plum Fizz, indulge in Pandan Coco Choux, or nibble on their red-and-white Fox Shortbread.

Curry Up

Curry Up closes the line-up with a soulful Gulai Padang Curry, rich and comforting, the kind of dish that makes you feel instantly at home no matter where you are.

Nonna Bona

Nonna Bona turns gelato and Italian cuisine into a celebration of regional desserts: Colenak, Lapis Pepe, Klepon, and Cente Manis. Each one a frozen love letter to Indonesia’s sweet traditions.

Semesta by Remboelan

Semesta by Remboelan stays proudly traditional with dishes that command attention. From Balado Dendeng Renyah Padang to Shirataki Nasi Goreng Pari Asap Pedas and Gurame Kuah Asam Pedas Teluk Bayur. The feast ends sweetly with heritage desserts, like Es Podeng Megaria, Es Mangga Indramayu, and Es Lobi-lobi Parijoto.

The Coffee Academïcs

 

The Coffee Academïcs invites you to “Savor the Archipelago” with dishes that transport you across Indonesia on a plate. Think King Prawn Jimbaran with Squid Ink Rice, Nasi Goreng Bebek Cabe Ijo, and Tuna Kecombrang Pasta. Every bite is a journey, from the coastline to the spice-laden markets.

 

Zushiku

Zushiku brings a taste of fusion with the Crunchy Merdeka Maki. A sushi roll built for a month of celebration, combining texture, flavor, and festivity in every bite.

This Independence Day at ASHTA is more than a commemoration. It’s an invitation to taste, to connect, and to remember that every flavor carries a piece of our identity. Come hungry for tradition, stay for discovery, and let your taste buds join the celebration.
