Dusit Thani Manila has joined forces with Jakarta’s 5-star Hotel Borobudur to bring yet another vibrant culinary festival to its all-day dining restaurant, The Pantry.
This time, Dusit Thani Manila expands The Pantry’s buffet by holding the Indonesian Food Festival dubbed Lezat— meaning delicious— which will take guests on a gastronomic journey packed with culinary marvels of the country, courtesy of guest Chef Hendriyono who flew all the way from Hotel Borobudur to bring us a carefully curated menu of some of Indonesia’s finest culinary offerings.
The savory spreads of Lezat can be found at the far end of The Pantry, available alongside the in-house restaurant’s staples.
