The top performing Year 8 Indonesian students were invited to attend an excursion to Monggo Restaurant in Mount Lawley. We were warmly welcomed by the head chef and his team who helped our students show off their cooking skills, teaching them how to make dadar gulung, a traditional Indonesian pancake with coconut filling. They described the pancake as sweet and delicious. Students then enjoyed a traditional Indonesian lunch of nasi kuning, ayam bakar, mie, and sayur. They were impressed by the presentation and flavourful food. Students were given a special treat by tasting one of Miss Booker’s favourite drinks: Es Cendol! It is a unique and sweet Indonesian drink made of coconut milk and palm sugar. It was a great cultural experience for the students, tasting and truly experiencing the food they had been practising discussing during their Warung dialogues.
