Celebrating Local Heritage and Environmental Stewardship
Java Lotus Hotel’s decision to host the Pandalungan Food Festival reflects a profound commitment to both national celebration and local environmental support. By partnering with the Arjasa Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) and the Tanoker Tourism Village, the festival aims to elevate local culinary potential and enhance the quality of human resources.
This initiative invites hotel guests and Jember residents, particularly city dwellers, to deepen their appreciation for Jember’s rich cultural heritage.
In addition to the main dishes, the festival offers alternatives like Corn Rice and Nasi Karak (karak rice). Rujak enthusiasts can indulge in authentic Madurese Petis (famous seasoning paste) with Rujak Dulit (Vegetables with nut souce). For those with a sweet tooth, the festival presents Trancam (traditional well-seasoned salad) Pandalungan, green bean curry, and fermented cassava (tape singkong). The array of choices is simply overwhelming!
“And what’s a Jember festival without Wedang Cor?” mused Jeffrey. “This traditional drink, enjoyed in the elegant setting of our hotel, offers a truly unique experience.” He encourages everyone to join the festivities with friends, family, and loved ones, ensuring memorable moments for all. (*)
