Step into a world of culinary enchantment at Plataran Ubud Hotel & Spa, where the recent "Treasure of Sigi at Plataran" event left an indelible mark on the culinary community. Set against the serene backdrop of the Banyan Tree Deck, Kinandari, this event was a harmonious collaboration with the renowned Ubud Food Festival. Guests were treated to an immersive evening that beautifully wove together exquisite flavors and rich cultural heritage, inspired by the lush landscapes of Central Sulawesi’s Sigi Regency.

Under the masterful guidance of Chef Emmanuel Julio from the Dharmawangsa Hotel, the evening's menu was a testament to culinary artistry. Drawing from his explorations in Sigi, Chef Julio curated a long-table feast featuring an array of local greens such as fiddleheads and moringa, accented by the fragrant pink torch ginger. These vibrant ingredients were paired with locally sourced proteins including fish, chicken, and beef, all expertly cooked using traditional methods. Each dish, prepared in bamboo vessels over smoldering coconut shells, offered a distinctive smoky flavor, enhancing the authenticity of this unique culinary journey.

Adding a captivating narrative to the evening, Helianti Hilman of Javara fame, along with the dedicated Sigi team, shared enthralling stories of the region’s cultural and natural wonders. This storytelling element enriched the dining experience, forging a deep connection between the guests and the origins of the delectable dishes they enjoyed.
