[Event] Great Day with Bungasari at SIAL Interfood 2016

Great Day, Everyone!

Last Friday was my first time ever to visit a Food and Beverage Industry Exhibition, SIAL Interfood 2016. It was such a pleasant experience, and I think this is the most entertaining exhibition I've ever been! (Especially because Bungasari was there :D)


So, what is SIAL Interfood 2016? It is a collaboration between two strong powers in the food and beverage industry. SIAL GROUP, the world’s largest food exhibition network with 50 years of experience and INTERFOOD, the leading food and beverage exhibition in Indonesia, running for 14 years. The exhibition was held by SIAL Group and Krista Exhibitions from 09 – 12 November 2016 at the Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran, Indonesia.

There are two ways to enter this exhibition, by Online Register or On-The-Spot, which I suggest you to register online because it's FREE, while you have to pay IDR 150K for OTS ticket.

Oh, I came in the third day of the exhibition which was weekday, and it was crowded! Wow, I can't believe the enthusiasm of the visitors.



By the way, one of the reason I went to this exhibition was because of Bungasari Flour Mills. Huh?
Well, I heard from my friends who went there since the first day that Bungasari are doing Cooking Demos and giving a lot of FREE Food Samples (Oopss.. haha), it excites me because I know that Bungasari has a lot of great products which means they will make great foods, to try of course :p
If you want to know more about Bungasari, you can check my previous post Baking Class with Bungasari.


Other than their three-main-products, which are Bola Salju, Golden Eagle, and Hana Emas, they also presented their newly-released products, Kabuki and Niji in this event. There are 2 variants of Kabuki, and the Super Premium Quality one is Kabuki Gold which is really suitable to make great-taste breads.

It was an easy-peasy to find Bungasari booth in Hall D because I think this is the most glorious booth in that Hall. Their concept is a Japanese traditional castle, because you know that they're from japan, even one of the slogan is 'Japan Quality Flour', that's what I always heard from their funny MC, Tony Wahyudi, during the event. And also, they started the event by dancing PPAP (Pen Pinapple Apple Pen) that attracted visitors attention.


In this third day, Bungasari was cooperating with Trisakti School of Tourism, one of the leading Tourism University in Jakarta, in order to support young Chefs in Indonesia. They showed a demo baking to make Japanese Choux and Éclair, I tried the samples (of course!) and it tasted reallyyyyy good, especially with cheese cream filling *drooling*




Right after that, they served me, I mean the visitors with a super yummy Ramen, and the sample wasn't just a tiny bowl but a BIG BOWL :O How can I leave their booth after such delicate samples?




Stay tune! They still have another Demo cooking, Acrobatic Pizza, you didn't missread it, it really is ACROBATIC. They invited Chef Sekiguchi from Pizza Doki, a specialist in Acrobatic Pizza. He can throw the pizza dough to the upside, left, right or wherever he wants without breaking it. Just check the picture below if you don't believe me :p



Oh, I also tried their Takoyaki, it was so delicious that I ate more than 5 balls. Sorry +GulanyaGulali  and @jajanbeken that I ate your portion lol.

Well, after I've had enough with the foods from Bungasari, I went around the exhibition for like the whole day. I was planning to go back home but suddenly it's raining soooo..... I went back to Bungasari booth and enjoy their Takoyaki again 😅


Anyway, that was the most interesting exhibition that I've ever been, like I told you in the beginning of the post. I can't wait to visit it again next year, exactly on 22 - 25 November 2017!

So everyone, see you next year at SIAL Interfood 2017!


[Event] Baking Class with Bungasari Flour Mills & Indonesian Food Blogger!


Cake! Who doesn't love Cake?

There's even a saying..

"There's always a place for a Cake!" - Unknown

Wait.... or is it Dessert? Well, just let it be LOL

Allright! Back to the topic, as you can see something unusual here, yes, Baking Class! Exactly last week (Wed, 20th April 2016), I had a chance to join a baking class with Indonesian Food Blogger and Bungasari Flour Mills at Bungasari Innovation Center.

FYI, I officially resigned from my job to focus on my Undergraduate Thesis, so yeah weekdays are freedays!


It was an exciting experience for me, because baking wasn't really my thing but somehow I got really excited when I heard about that class (Just ask IDFB members if you don't believe it lol). Due to my super-busy life, I barely got a chance to try Baking because it usually takes so much time & effort, and it usually requires trial-and-error process. But my mom is (or was?) a good baker, she used to bake some Cakes & Cookies back when I was a kid, so Baking isn't a rare thing for me.


Now let's talk about Bungasari, I bet you guys already heard or even tried their product. As you can see from their name, Bungasari Flour Mills, yes, Flour! They produces various high-quality flours with unique name, that are Golden Eagle for the High Protein Flour, Bola Salju for the Medium Protein Flour, &  Hana Emas for the Low Protein Flour. They have different type of usage too, Golden Eagle is most suitable for Bread & Noodle, while Bola Salju is multipurpose, and Hana Emas is for Cake, Cookie & Biscuit. (I honestly just learned it at the Baking Class :o)

Today's cake recipe was Sachertorte, invented by Austrian Franz Sacher in Vienna, Austria. Well before it turns to History class, let's move to the next topic LOL. So, before the baking session began, There's a presentation about Bungasari, Flours, & Cakes from Chef Kelik & Chef Latief who laters became our guide.

In the first paragraph, I mentioned Bungasari Innovation Center. What is it and where?
As the commitment of Bungasari to educate the society about what & how to use Flours properly, they created an Innovation Center at Jl.Taman Pakubuwono 6 No.11, South Jakarta. In their Innovation Center, you can learn how to cook anything based on Flour such as Cake, Noodle, Cookie, etc (except Play-Doh XD). There are classess every weekend, or anytime you want, just contact them here. The location was easy to be found especially because it is not far from Senayan City. It looks like a house from the outside, with a big signage. But the inside is quite amazing! My eyes was shining so bright when I saw their equipments *x* They have such modern & clean equipments, can't wait to touch them #eh



The class started around 9:30am. We were divided into 3 groups with 5 persons each, me with Liza, Febriyan, Adin & Oline. My part mostly just disturbing my team (lol kidding) while Liza as The Baker, Adin as The Helper, Febriyan and Olin as the Photographer & Videographer. It was indeed an amazing time! I learned a lot from that baking class and the Chefs also gave us a hand tho, eh, a lot I guess haha!


The baking process wasn't easy, but thank God Liza (the Baking Foodie) was on my side. Even Febriyan said "You should take off you baking title if you failed on this one", nice words! *evillaugh* Well it's mostly laugh tho :D It took about 30mins to bake the cake and 30mins to cool it down, so while waiting we had lunch and took photos around.


Yay! It's time to decorate our cake! They gave us white & black chocolate bar, and some macarons (too bad I didn't get that). We are free to decorate our cake as we want, and after the decorating session, which was the final session, there was this surprise from Bungasari, they chose 2 Best Decorated Cakes and it went to..... jengjengjeng... Ms. Arni & Ms. Lia!! *applause*

This one is my cake, taste Yumm and full of chocolate! My families & friends loved it :9


No winning doesn't mean no learning, because I got a lot of new things to learn from this class!
I hope I can join another class from Bungasari Innovation Center, like real soon :)

Why am I blurred? Duh!
