OM SWASTYASTU

Selamat datang, food lovers, to the Ubud Food Festival. We are thrilled to be returning for our fourth delicious year.

Teriring puji syukur kepada Ida Sanghyang Widi Wasa saya persembahkan Ubud Food Festival 2018 kepada para pencinta gastronomi Indonesia.

In 2018, the Festival will be energized by the theme ‘Generasi Inovasi’ (Innovation Generation). The theme celebrates innovative and sustainable ideas in Indonesia’s food industry, which are all creating a distinct food culture unique to the archipelago. While the nation’s switched-on foodies are finely tuned to the world’s rapidly changing culinary landscape, many of them are continuing to honor their culinary heritage through exciting transformations of traditional dishes. At this year’s Festival, we’ll also be paying tribute to those who’ve created a legacy for today’s generation, and celebrating Indonesia’s diverse cultures with pride. As ever, the Ubud Food Festival wouldn’t be possible without the support of our generous sponsors. Like a Balinese wedding, events like these are only possible through the community coming together and contributing their own special part. I’d like to extend a huge thank you to the chefs, speakers, restaurants, producers, businesses, volunteers and everyone who contributed to this feast. We are so excited to bring together almost 100 speakers to dish up our fourth Ubud Food Festival. From the Balinese farmers to the app designers, the social entrepreneurs to the world class chefs, they all show the reason why the world should be paying attention to Indonesia’s incredible creativity and ingenuity, and of course its fantastic food. Janet DeNeefe Founder & Director 4

UFF merupakan salah satu dari dua festival tahunan yang diselenggarakan oleh Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati. Keduanya adalah bagian dari upaya terus menerus kami dalam melestarikan dan mengembangkan warisan budaya Indonesia, sekaligus memperkenalkannya ke ranah global. Tema tahun ini, ‘Generasi Inovasi’ merujuk kepada makin bergairahnya generasi muda Indonesia untuk menekuni karir di bidang gastronomi. Kehadiran mereka telah melahirkan sejumlah besar inovasi. Kami percaya bahwa inovasi-inovasi ini akan makin memperkaya khasanah gastronomi nusantara serta makin memperkuat posisi masakan dan makanan Indonesia di kancah persaingan global. Semoga pula UFF 2018 dapat memberikan kontribusi bermakna bagi pemulihan pariwisata Bali yang mengalami perlambatan karena erupsi Gunung Agung. Sebagai akhir kata saya ucapkan terima kasih kepada Kementerian Pariwisata RI, Pemerintah Kabupaten Gianyar, dan Ubud, serta para tokoh dan masyarakat Ubud yang selama ini telah memberikan bantuan dan dukungan kepada Yayasan. Om Çanti, Çanti, Çanti Om.

WELCOME

Selamat datang kepada para pencinta kuliner nusantara dan mancanegara di Ubud Food Festival yang ke-4. Festival yang mempertemukan para chef terkemuka dan para pencinta kuliner ini tentu akan menjadi sebuah perayaan akan keberagaman rasa. Di mana tak hanya lidah yang dimanjakan, namun juga wawasan kita akan dibuka melalui diskusidiskusi dengan para ahli kuliner.

The Ubud Food Festival celebrates the joys of Indonesian food and cooking. As a home-grown Indonesian food brand, ABC likewise is invested in popularizing Indonesian cooking, and the many culinary delights the archipelago offers. This shared vision of ABC and UFF was the primary motive to become a Presenting Partner of the Festival.

Seiring kemajuan jaman dan perkembangan teknologi, tema ‘Generasi Inovasi’ yang diusung tahun ini tentu membuka peluang baru dalam dunia industri kuliner serta memacu kreativitas baru dalam penciptaan jenis masakan. Tentu akan dapat menjadi sebuah wadah yang menjembatani tren terbaru dalam dunia kuliner tanpa meninggalkan ragam warisan kuliner nusantara. Festival ini memiliki peran penting dalam mempromosikan Ubud yang tak hanya sebagai destinasi wisata dan budaya, namun juga menuju sebagai sebuah ikon baru destinasi kuliner dan pusat gastronomi pulau Bali. Kolaborasi dan sinergi antara rantai binis akan bahu-membahu membawa sebuah perputaran ekonomi yang mensejahterahkan semua masyarakat. Selamat menjelajahi Ubud beserta seluruh khasanah budaya dan keberagaman kulinernya. Om Çanti, Çanti, Çanti Om. Dr. Ir. Tjok Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati, Msi Festival Patron

ABC sees the Festival’s theme Generasi Inovasi as a natural extension of our brand’s approach to the Indonesian market. With activities like Kecap ABC’s Resep Perasan Pertama, a digital based initiative to help Indonesians improve their everyday cooking, or the Tantangan Sambal ABC (Sambal ABC Challenge), which challenges Indonesians to pair Sambal ABC with all kinds of food, encouraging them to experiment with different kinds of food in the process, ABC has been doing its bit to celebrate and increase the appeal of Indonesian cuisine in its own little way. At UFF this year, ABC will bring these experiences to life through live interactive demos that help all participants experience the breadth of food that the archipelago has to offer. Our humble booth will be an exciting cosmos of food adventures that everyone will love to participate in, and will hopefully find unique. So do come over and experience a little Indonesian culinary spectacle! Dhiren Amin Head of Marketing, Southeast Asia, Kraft Heinz ABC
