Night Market was an event that is long overdue, but it's better late than never, right? :)

It was a nice thing to have the event done in the newly established area, Student Experience Center Plaza. With the sturdy roof protection and gorgeous lighting, it was indeed a nice addition to the school facility.

This event was actually the annual Spring Festival event, with the theme of 'family', but there were also variety of food sold and a lot of performances there. Along with the performances and the food sale, each cultural association had to provide games and cultural stories regarding family in each of our cultures.

We enjoyed our time sharing our games and telling people about our very own unique stories regarding family. Not only that, we also enjoyed visiting other cultural associations' booths to find out more about their games and cultures. Why, we are curious too!

JAJANAN INDONESIA 2015: INDONESIAN FOOD MARKET

Finally... the much needed break we are waiting for is here! It's SPRING BREAK! Greetings to all the warm sunshine and blooming flowers!

Psst we are soon going to share about the last big event we had in Winter term, but first let us explain. Traditionally, we had the annual Indonesian Night to share about our culture; however, this year we felt the need for a change. We felt the need to step out from our comfort zone and try something fresh and new, and hence Jajanan Indonesia (Indonesian Food Market) was out. 

What is Jajanan Indonesia? 
Jajanan Indonesia, Indonesian Food Market, is an event that focuses more on the food. The structure of our event was somewhat like a tour to five different main islands in Indonesia: Jawa, Sumatra, Kalimatan, Sulawesi, Papua. In each booth (island), we have tour guides waiting with information, visuals, audio, and of course, food. We served two kinds of food for each island; details are listed below:

• Jawa: chicken satay & karedok
• Sumatra: beef rendang & bika ambon
• Kalimantan: cincane chicken & hekeng
• Sulawesi: rica-rica chicken & green banana ice
• Papua: saksak (Papua sweet sago dumpling) & sago pudding

Honestly? We received so many compliments about the food we served! Proud, yes

We are delighted to have you guys there to support us! Nothing makes us happier than hearing the feedbacks about our event from you guys. We hope to see you all again soon! Thank you!
