Jakarta,
22 September 2013 – Mandarin Oriental, Jakarta proudly presents its first
collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico for the Mexican epicurean adventure
and festivities on 25 October to 5 November 2013.
Renowned
for its excellence and innovation in food and beverage, Mandarin Oriental,
Jakarta offers food lovers an array of Mexican delights at Cinnamon restaurant
specially prepared by Mexican guest chef, Francisco Flores Obieta. An executive
chef of an award-winning five-star resort and spa in Cancun, Chef Flores has
wide experiences around the world working in Michelin-star restaurants in Paris
and Canada. He learnt his technique under the guidance of Maître Cuisine de
France, Chef Henri Charvet. After years of experience abroad, finally Chef Flores
decided to go back to his roots and explore traditional Mexican cuisine in La
Joya, a fine dining Mexican restaurant where he gets to create and explore his
own version of Mexican dishes, using the best local ingredients to achieve the
purest Mexican flavours and putting on every dish his young soul without
dishonouring the heart of Mexican food. In Jakarta, Chef Flores will feature a
spicy and sassy spread of delicious ethnic dishes highlighting Mexico’s
authentic cuisine, which replicates the country’s rich culture.
Guests
can enjoy this delicious Mexican buffet for lunch and dinner at IDR 295,000net

The
Mexican festivities don’t end at Cinnamon. On Wednesday, 30 October 2013,
guests can join the celebration of Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead at MO
Bar. Día de los Muertos is a holiday
that has been celebrated for thousands of years. This party is almost similar
to a Halloween party. Guests are encouraged to dress up in costume and wear
face paintings. On this special night, MO Bar will also launch its excellent
collaboration with Michelle Worth, a young talented Indonesian designer for its
new uniform. A fashion show and music by a well-known DJ will light the night
