The Winner of Exquisite Awards 2022 – Best Western Restaurant Jakarta: Vong Kitchen at Alila Scbd Jakarta

Vong Kitchen was founded by one of the world’s most celebrated chefs, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, along with his equally talented son Cédric. Jean-Georges was the youngest chef ever to receive a four-star review in The New York Times at the age of 29 and led the French cuisine revolution in 1980s North America. Meanwhile, later on, his son Cédric took his talent through the world’s best kitchens, including Berkeley Hotel London, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, and the prestigious El Bulli of Barcelona. He was named by Zagat as “one of the top 30 up and coming chefs under 30”. Most recently, the Bangkok-born chef opened Wayan, a French-Indonesian restaurant
in Manhattan.

Jean-Georges’ global culinary empire reaches Southeast Asia, with his Vong Kitchen marking its presence in Jakarta’s evolving F&B scene. Now, five years after opening, it is still one of Jakarta’s most interesting restaurants – as evident from the very first impression. The open kitchen is stylish, while an iconic New York-style bar draws attention, both created by another Big Apple native, award-winning Rockwell Group. A carefully selected music playlist adds to the details making this a classy joint.

Vong Kitchen showcases both Jean-Georges’ and Cedric’s attention to balancing flavour and texture, while blending French and American cooking techniques, accentuated by their love of Asian herbs and seasonings. The New York influence is represented by two staple items on the menu: pizza – classic Pepperoni or Margherita, and steak, ranging from lamb shanks to Angus ribeye. But surely the highlight is always Jakarta’s iconic nasi goreng, which receives the full Vong twist with two versions: Duck Confit Fried Rice and Squid Ink Fried Rice.
