The Indonesian Embassy (KBRI) in Bandar Seri Begawan promoted the typical culinary of Minang, namely Rendang at the Rendang Minang Festival last Monday (20/12). The festival was aimed at promoting Indonesian culture and tourism; one of them was by introducing Rendang with a unique presentation and authentic taste. The festival was attended by 30 participants from various backgrounds, such as housewives, housekeepers of restaurant owners and professional chefs.

Indonesian Ambassador to Bandar Seri Begawan, Sujatmiko explained that the Rendang cooking competition was judged by the juries based on 3 aspects: the authenticity of taste, presentation appearance, and knowledge of Minang Rendang. He also hopes the event could encourage Indonesian citizens in Brunei to know more about one of the Indonesian prideful foods. The festival also promoted Indonesian tourism destinations through photo contests of traveling experiences in Indonesia. Then, the participants uploaded photos of their trips before the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia on their respective social media, while narrating their experiences.
