Songkran Pomelo Summer Specials @ Mango Tree Bistrobar Plaza Senayan

Jakarta more than any other Asian city had embraced the bistro concept and was ripe for more Mango Tree Bistrobars, Mango Tree Worldwide Managing Director Trevor MacKenzie said in the Indonesian capital, April 9, 2015. 

Mango Tree launched its first Bistrobar in Jakarta's Plaza Senayan 18 months ago, and the concept had been embraced by Jakarta's affluent and aspirational younger generation.

Mr MacKenzie said the 'Songkran Pomelo Summer Specials and Daily Deals' promotion had been conceived for Mango Tree Bistrobar Plaza Senayan to say 'thank you' to the brand's loyal fans and regulars while drumming up some additional brand awareness and word-of-mouth.

“Songkran is almost upon us in Thailand,” Mr MacKenzie said. “It's a time dedicated to 'sanuk' or the Thai love of having fun. So we wanted to come up with a promotion that would capture this fun spirit and also offer good value and some compelling reasons to dine and drink at Mango Tree Bistrobar.

Mango Tree Bistrobar is the group's second-tier brand, based on a Parisian bistro concept, which means quick, tasty and hearty fare, a good wine list and innovative cocktails mixed by experienced mixologists.

The Mango Tree Bistrobar concept was in response to the specific demands of the burgeoning younger, upwardly mobile crowd – giving them a hip place to hang out and be seen while enjoying quality cocktails, food and music. 

“Younger people in Asia Pacific are having the one social drink now, which they didn’t do previously,” said Mr MacKenzie. “ But they are increasingly discerning. Especially right here in Jakarta, where a staggering 50 percent of the population is under 30 years of age.

“Mango Tree Bistrobar delivers is exactly what they want. The Bistrobar brand is ideal for Jakarta because there is a genuine appreciation of quality cocktails delivered by outstanding mixologists and a desire to also tap good music in a cool environment that attracts a young crowd with spending power.”

Mango Tree is on a roll globally, with the recent successful launch of the Bangkok signature Mango Tree on the River as the group's flagship, rave reviews for Mango Tree DC, the first US venture in the national capital's swanky CityCentreDC lifestyle hub, while new additions include Mango Tree Restaurant Mumbai, just opened two weeks ago, Mango Tree Copenhagen this month, and Mango Tree Qingdao in May. Mango Tree Pop-up Restaurant will also open during Milan Expo, Italy, in May with markets from Barcelona to Sydney also in Mango Tree's sights.

Mango Tree Worldwide now has a portfolio of more than 70 restaurants, bistrobars and cafes in 15 countries spread across Asia, the Middle East and the United States through its Mango Tree, MangoTree Bistrobar, Mango Tree Café, Mango Chili, COCA restaurant and COCA Café brands. It will expand its portfolio to more than 80 restaurants and cafes this year.

The group’s prime locations include Hong Kong, London, Dubai, Tokyo, Jakarta, Manila, Mumbai and Washington. It forecasts global turnover of more than US$100 million within two years.

“We have been able to achieve so much because we have always aligned ourselves with the right partners, who understood we have a unique concept that is not just about great food – it’s also about adding value to the dining experience through a combination of décor, presentation and tabletop architecture,” Pitaya said.

Mango Tree BistroBar Plaza Senayan co-owner Margerry Muliadi said she was delighted to see the Bistrobar concept thrive and for the partnership to have stood the test of time. It was her pleasure to offer the specials and daily deals to diners.

She said the relationship with Mango Tree stretched back more than 20 years, with COCA Restaurants as their first venture together. One of the key shareholders was also an owner of Mango Tree London, the first Mango Tree outside Bangkok, and more recent addition Mango Tree Harrods.
