Why do Indonesians hold such a deep affection for Chinese cuisine? The answer may lie in the rich traditions and profound symbolism of Chinese culture. With a meticulously curated menu and recognition as one of only five Cantonese restaurants worldwide to earn Three Michelin Stars in Hong Kong, T’ang Court, guided by its renowned chef, crafts an exceptional dining experience that captivates the senses and delights the palate. This is why the restaurant has become a favourite among Chinese food enthusiasts.
Even though the SCBD area boasts numerous Chinese restaurants, none can match the beauty of T’ang Court, where every detail reflects profound philosophy and deep-rooted Chinese traditions. Situated on the 61st floor of The Langham, Jakarta, this culinary gem offers not only sweeping views of the city but also an atmosphere steeped in elegance, inspired by the Tang Dynasty. Its refined interior, featuring motifs like the prosperity-laden Bao Xiang Hua and peony accents symbolising love and fortune, sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.
With a solemn yet beautiful meaning attached to its dining rooms, this Chinese restaurant offers a serene setting for intimate gatherings, radiating good fortune and harmony through its six intricately designed private dining spaces. From the Plum Blossom, symbolising winter and longevity, to the Peony, representing spring and prosperity, these rooms create a warm and enriching dining experience. This thoughtful design enables T’ang Court to host a variety of events and banquets while comfortably accommodating its 160-seat capacity and ensuring a welcoming experience for guests.
At the helm of T’ang Court is Chef Chong Kooi Sam, a master of Cantonese cuisine whose passion for food is deeply rooted in his childhood. He grew up in a traditional Chinese-Malaysian home, and his early love of cooking was inspired by helping and observing his mother in the kitchen. His ability to use flavours and techniques had a profound and long-lasting effect on him. Throughout his career, Chef Sam has brought his expertise to the dynamic kitchens of Kuala Lumpur, Dubai and Shanghai, where he refined his skills and mastered the art of blending tradition with creativity. Now at T’ang Court, he fully embraces Jakarta’s abundant fresh seafood and diverse ingredients, finding energy and inspiration in the city’s vibrant and ever-evolving culture.
Chef Sam’s skill is evident in every dish. Signature dishes like Peking duck, and vegetarian winter melon white fungus soup showcase his ability to balance flavours and textures. The dim sum highlights his ability to create memorable culinary experiences, offering guests a variety of gourmet delights. From crispy prawn dumplings to wagyu spring rolls, each bite melts effortlessly on the palate.
