THE Indonesian Consulate is now looking into the feasibility of putting up an Indonesian restaurant in Davao City in order to showcase various delicacies of their country.
Indonesian Consul General to Davao City, Lalu Malik Partawana, said in an interview Wednesday that they are looking into opening an Indonesian restaurant by the end of the year.
"There are various restaurants here, Malaysian, Singaporean, Thai, and even Vietnamese, but no Indonesian," Partawana said.
Moreover, the Indonesian Consulate took part as a side exhibitor during the Mindanao Culinary Festival 2008 Summit preliminaries, which was conducted Wednesday at the House of Indonesia here in Davao City.
"We are supporting the Mindanao Culinary Festival 2008 and will work to ensure its success," Partawana said.
Conducted Wednesday were the preliminaries for the table setting for the student and professional divisions where 22 schools and 11 establishments participated for the event.
The competition was judged by former beauty queen Margie Moran-Floirendo, Davao City's premier florist Charito Puentespina, and Itje Erwin of the Indonesian Consulate.
