Amid the rise of modern menus, Hotel Santika Premiere ICE BSD City presents traditional cuisine Mangut Ikan Kakap as a special dish inspired by the coastal cooking of Central Java and Yogyakarta.

This dish brings flavors long associated with Javanese home kitchens. Mangut is known as a rich, coconut milk-based stew seasoned with spices, commonly found from the Pantura region to the Mataraman area.

At Hotel Santika Premiere ICE BSD City, the dish is served using red snapper fillet combined with a yellow-red coconut milk broth.

The savory and spicy taste comes from a blend of spices such as turmeric, ginger, galangal, and bird’s eye chili, cooked until the aroma and seasonings are fully absorbed.

The Food & Beverage Manager at Hotel Santika Premiere ICE BSD City stated that this dish is an effort to reintroduce familiar traditional cuisine to the public.

“Through this Mangut Ikan Kakap, we want to revive memories of authentic traditional food. The use of real Indonesian spices not only provides a strong flavor but also health benefits. We ensure every step of the preparation preserves the classic recipe with a classy presentation.”

In addition to the main dish, the hotel also introduces a drink called Tropicool.

This drink is made from a blend of pineapple, cucumber, bok choy, orange, and honey, creating a refreshing sensation to accompany strongly flavored dishes.

Mangut Ikan Kakap is priced at Rp99,000 nett, while Tropicool is offered at Rp55,000 nett.

Both can be enjoyed at Mandalika Restaurant located in the Hotel Santika Premiere ICE BSD City area.
