Padma Culinary Journey 2024 Showcases Peruvian-Japanese Nikkei Cuisine

After last year’s tremendous success, Padma Culinary Journey returns to kick off the culinary programme at Padma Hotels at the beginning of 2024 with vibrant taste and special offerings. Aiming to extend the ranging delicacy of each property, find culinary exchange events in Bali, Bandung, Semarang, and Karawang that highlight each property’s speciality.

The series of events starts with chef Sandro Medrano from Padma Resort Legian’s TENKAI Japanese Nikkei Restaurant bringing his culinary expertise in a distinctive Peruvian-Japanese Nikkei concept to Padma Hotels in Semarang, Karawang, and Bandung. Renowned for its unique gastronomic delights, the award-winning TENKAI Japanese Nikkei Restaurant has been one of the most sought-after dining attractions in Bali. This time, chef Sandro Medrano extends the chance to savour the restaurant’s dishes for those outside Bali.

The chef’s masterful experience in marrying Peruvian dishes with Japanese technique adds authenticity of both regions, resulting in full-bodied cuisines that foodies don’t want to miss.
