hotel borobudur introduces<br />

new master chef<br />

Spearheading Teratai<br />

Restaurant at Hotel<br />

Borobudur is Chef Zhang<br />

Xiu Lan, who assumed<br />

the post of Master Chef of the<br />

luxury Cantonese eatery in<br />

March 2011. She brings topnotch<br />

know-how and experience<br />

from her previous position at<br />

Hu Bin Mei Zhi Lo in the Yuyuan<br />

Garden in Shanghai, where<br />

she worked for 20 years. Her<br />

expertise in the field bodes<br />

positive auguries for her<br />

career in Teratai. Her forte<br />

is her handmade Xiao Long<br />

Bao – steamed dumplings<br />

filled with vegetables, meat<br />

and soup – as she is able to<br />

achieve skin of a silken yet<br />

firm consistency; and harmony<br />

between the sweet and<br />

savoury elements of the dumpling.<br />

Her skillfully-prepared noodle<br />

dishes and Dim Sum are also to be<br />

revered. The lobby-level restaurant<br />

is open for lunch (11:30 a.m.-2:30<br />

p.m.) and dinner (6:30 p.m.-10:30<br />

p.m.) seven days a week.<br />

Hotel Borobudur, nicknamed <strong>Jakarta</strong>’s<br />

‘Grand old lady of hospitality’ features<br />

695 guest rooms and suites. The hotel’s<br />

five restaurants serve Italian, Chinese,<br />

Indonesian and Japanese cuisine.<br />
