All these ingredients were processed by the Executive Chefs from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM on November 7, 2023, resulting in a chain of Tempe Mendoan that stretched for 532 meters.
The certificate and MURI record medals were presented in the Ballroom of the Aston Inn Cilacap hotel by Sri Widayati, MURI Representative.
She mentioned, “This record also officially becomes a world record, as it highlights the culinary and local wisdom found in Indonesia, especially in the city of Cilacap. Certainly, this will also be a source of pride for the local residents here.” This record is the 11,380th record successfully documented by MURI.
