The growing number of Indonesian restaurants in Melbourne is solid proof of the high demand and the high quality of Indonesian food readily available. From nasi goreng to iga bakar, to Indonesian coffee and es campur, Indonesian food looks to pave the way to bring Indonesia to the world.
As its namesake, Kenangan brings Indonesian flavours and culture to Australia, rekindling memories of home and sparking new ones along the way. Although having started out as a vacuum-packed delivery service during COVID, they have now fully transitioned into a full-time restaurant at Queen Victoria Market, with people coming in the masses.
Kenangan co-owner Giovanni Sutjiutama joins Billy Adison Aditijanto on The Perantau Podcast to share the highs and lows of running a restaurant while having no background in F&B, prospects for Kenangan to spearhead a Little Indonesia in Melbourne, and why the craze for Indonesian food is a sign for good things to come.
This episode is predominantly delivered in Bahasa Indonesia. A transcript is available online.
