Long Table Dining Experience "Jamuan Puan Rimba": A Cuisine Shaped by the Forest

About this event

Jamuan Puan Rimba is a curated long table luncheon showcasing cuisine inspired by Indonesia’s forest landscapes. The luncheon will feature food and ingredients from South Sumatra, North Kalimantan, and West Nusa Tenggara. The courses will retain some original Indonesian dishes and preparations. In other courses, Chef Bo Songvisava of Bo.lan will combine Indonesian forest ingredients with local Thai ingredients and culinary techniques to create new Thai Indonesian dishes. This dining experience uses food as an entry point for understanding forests, community knowledge, local economies, and climate action. Through storytelling and shared dining, participants will experience how women’s leadership is connected to food systems, non-timber forest products, sustainable livelihoods, and forest governance. This approach has also offered communities a new economic model through eco-gastronomy tourism. By connecting forest stewardship, local food, and storytelling, communities can create visitor experiences that generate local income, strengthen women’s enterprises, and encourage the continued protection of forests and local knowledge in their respective villages.
