Puri Mas is famous for its
Rijsttafel, a feast of mild to strongly
spiced Indonesian dishes.
Rijsttafel means Rice Table, an array of
many dishes in small portions that covers
the whole table. Although it is a Dutch
idea, its origins are clearly Indonesian
and it was known at one time as Makan
Besar. Indonesian people traditionally
take a meal from a central plate of
steamed or fried rice with other dishes
arranged around it. Usually including
some fish or meat, a vegetable dish, and
a spicy sauce known as sambel. The early
Dutch planters, with their great
appetites, added more and more dishes and
so the Rijsttafel originated.
Rijsttafel was served on the plantations
and at home parties. Later it was
combined with hotel menus, and each dish
served seperately by a waiter.
There are many variations on the
Rijsttafel. And each variation consists
of a wide range of carefully selected
dishes.
Should you wish for a vegetarian
Rijsttafel or any other adjustments to
the Rijsttafel, please do not hesitate to
ask our staff for assistance.
