His journey began in France, where he earned his nickname after impressing customers with the best Pisco Sour they had ever tasted. Agung’s life motto, ‘Before you mix any cocktails, always understand how to treat every ingredient,’ encapsulates his approach to crafting balanced and innovative drinks.
As one of the leading figures in Indonesia’s cocktail scene, Agung is known for his signature cocktails like Esmeralda, Watermelon Sugar, and Sunny Side Up. These creations take center stage during the Bar Takeover at Maiga! Bar, showcasing his exceptional talent and passion for mixology.
Maiga! Bar is a premier destination for cocktail enthusiasts in the luxurious resort, Ta’aktana. Drawing inspiration from the heritage of the Bajo people, the bar’s design elegantly blends natural woods and polished metals with a stunning ocean view and open-air terrace, creating a refined and welcoming atmosphere.
The Bar Takeover series at Ta’aktana is a celebration of cultural exchange, where the craft of cocktail making meets the rich traditions of Labuan Bajo. The series highlights Maiga! Bar’s dedication to offering guests unforgettable experiences, blending modern mixology with the essence of Indonesia.
