Azanaya - Appeciating Food Culture

The 1st Underground Secret Dining in Jakarta

Nope..
We are not going to do it underground, neither beneath sea level nor beneath water tunnel (for this time..)

Why do we call it underground? Simply because it is arranged secretively, to provide an alternative food culture experience for those who are craving for it.

It is a breakthrough concept popularized by many foodaholics around the world. It is also contagious!

Sao Paolo, Rio De Janeiro, San Francisco, Chicago, London, Hong Kong, and Sydney are infected by it. Many people flock into secret hidden places to savor secret recipes created by a host chef or just a humble housewife who is willing to share her love and passion for food.

In Jakarta, it is going to be unique, prolific, and essential mouthwatering! Blah blah blah, you will experience by yourself, anyway!!

We did research beforehand, to make sure the event runs smoothly and delivers the utmost local flavor to the guests.

Now, we want YOU to be a part of it! To cherish the moment while experiencing with complete strangers who turnout to be friends and to taste scrumptious local food made with genuine heart and affectionate feeling inside.

It is a perfect place to meet other food aficionado from every part of town, celebrate the true meaning of local food culture, and be a SPECIAL guest invited to this secretive scenario of food living.

The 1st Underground Secret Dining in Jakarta will be on :
May 21, 2009 (public holiday)
starts at 10 AM until 15 PM
at SECRET place with SECRET menu and SECRET host….

We will gather on May 21 2009 to celebrate local food culture with a lady host who will cook a rare home made food – unlikely to find it sold anywhere else, including her best appetizer and dessert treatment to all guests.

She invites all of us to her humble and spacious home for a distinguished lunch.

But before that, we give an extra BONUS for you all. Nothing beats the best way to discern local food culture by doing a food tour around her neighborhood area.

We find amazing wide arrays of food manifesto around her neighborhood, which have been selling the most authentic dishes for decades.

We will get you all to taste our food selection on the spot by doing this walking tour.

What is USD anyway?

We manage a regular small event monthly with carefully selected of local food and beverages to escalate the local ambience among foodaholics who would like to experience something different and breakthrough.

The Underground Secret Dining can take place anywhere around Jakarta. Starting from a ghetto complex, apartment basement, art galleries, local house, public park, cemetery, or even a floating deck to watch the sunset near the bay area. We choose the venue that brings uniqueness to the whole theme. We promise not to take you to common restaurant or eateries.

What makes it so special is we will NOT tell you the venue and menu in advance. We let your wildest imagination takes control for it for a while, and one day before the event, we will inform you the venue address/location by SMS and email.

What we can inform you in advance is HINTS, such as distance from famous landmarks in Jakarta, public transportation facility, parking space, food/beverages ingredients, children allowed/not, and of course, exact time and date.
