Pangan Nusa & Ekonomi Kreatif 2009

Plenary Hall Jakarta Convention Centre

Pangan Nusa - Hall B 6th-9th Aug 2009
Ekonomi Kreatif -Cendrawasih Hall 7th-9th Aug 2009

Today is obviously not the first opening day for the expo, nor the last. However mom and me gotta wait 2 hours just to get in, thanks to our first lady who came to officialy open this expo and Ekonomi Kreatif expo in the next hall. They was holding some kinda rice contest and of course she stayed until it's over.
Ayayayay..
Okay, anyway.. I have no idea who won it, we just went in and ate random snacks hahaha it was 1pm and we haven't had anything to eat since morning.

So, back to that competition, the participants came from provinces in Indonesia, they cooked their traditional food and in the end they offered their creations to visitors. I tried Klepon, but these black ones were made a la Nusa Tenggara Barat using Singkong, liquid palm sugar and wijen seeds instead of grated coconut. It tasted really good!! Different with the green Java Klepon.

And for the rest of the food, I got pics :)

In the back competition area is the main hall where the expo was hold. I was literally surrounded with food, but then I lost my appetite.. how sad :(
It's probably because of the excitement of getting so many interesting new things and I got my cam ready ^^

Mom was in there only for like 30 mins or so, she gotta go back to Bdg.. hiks.. I still miss her alot..
I stayed and visited also the other expo Ekonomi Kreatif. It's more to art,fashion,music, books, shirts, Batik, paintings etc kinda stuff, although it's not ethnic ones but still it's interesting for me.
