Winner of MasterChef Australia 2023 'Hooked' on the Delicious Indonesian Cuisine

One of the people who is fascinated by the deliciousness of Indonesian cuisine is Chef Brent Draper, the winner of MasterChef Australia 2023. Draper expressed his admiration for Indonesian food, especially sambal.

"I am very interested in sambal. We don't have it in Australia. It tastes very different and intriguing,"

He said at the Taste of Australia 2024 event in Menteng, Central Jakarta, on Saturday, June 22, 2024, yesterday.

"Since visiting Bali for the first time, this man, born on May 2, 1989, often uses Indonesian ingredients when cooking. According to him, Bali has inspired him to adopt Indonesian culinary elements in the menus he prepares and serves. When cooking with spices, Draper feels like he is at home."

Other than his visit to Bali, Draper, who has a close friend from Jakarta in Melbourne, also became interesting when he started to learn and study various Indonesian spices and seasonings for cooking ingredients. One of his favorite things is adding sambal to various types of food.

According to Draper, tomato sauce is his favorite because it is very simple and can be combined with many types of food. He also likes sauce that has a combination of grated coconut and dried shallots.

Now, Draper is currently in the Homeland as part of Taste of Australia organized by the Australian Embassy on 20-25 June 2024.

This event is part of the celebration of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Australia that have been established for 75 years. In this Taste of Australia event, Draper showcased his skills in preparing and serving delicious menus using Indonesian ingredients and recipes. "I am very happy to be part of this event and hope to show how extraordinary Indonesian cuisine is to more people," said Draper.

"Hope of the champion"

The presence of Taste of Australia aims to introduce and promote Australian and Indonesian cuisine, as well as strengthen the cultural relationship between the two countries. Draper also hopes that this event can serve as a platform to share the deliciousness of Indonesian cuisine with more people in Australia and its surroundings.

The culinary aroma of Indonesia can be smelled in other countries.

With his experience and love for Indonesian cuisine, Chef Brent Draper not only brings honor to Australia in the MasterChef competition, but also promotes the richness of Indonesian culinary to the international stage. Report: Delia Siti Salsabilla
