There is a way to travel without leaving home, a culinary exploration that gives you a sense of voyage.
Mr. Fox Surabaya is collaborating with Jiewa Vieri (Jie), a food and travel blogger who has been a familiar face to Surabaya food enthusiasts. Together, Mr. Fox and Jie bring a fresh reinterpretation of Modern Asian cuisine that will tantalize your palate with bold and experimental flavors. Jiembaran Prawn Ramen, Braised Beef Cheek Dabu Dabu to Mango Tango will be available from 16 January to 12 February 2023.
Kenny Tirto, Marketing Manager of Mr. Fox Jakarta and Surabaya said, "We are delighted to collaborate with Jie, a Surabaya-based food and travel blogger and a food photographer who is passionate about sharing his food adventure around the globe. He allows us to dive into what the place has to offer. With our talented Chef Wiem Kahyang Isha, who is fully inspired by Mr. Fox’s travels around Asia and Jie’s love for various cuisines, this collaboration will give a unique color to the special menu. Through these creations, we would like to bring a new way for people to explore modern Asian cuisines with a twist of Chef Wiem’s kitchen."
Wiem Kahyang Isha, Head Chef of Mr. Fox Jakarta and Surabaya said, “I am thrilled to collaborate with one of the most influential food and travel bloggers in Surabaya for the special menu. This collaboration allows us to innovate and explore the most exceptional flavors to satisfy the customers’ palates.
Through my rendition of food, I would like to highlight my interpretation of Modern Asian dishes together with Jie, who has been traveling and trying various cuisines. For example, I reminisce about exploring and savoring noodles with friends in Jakarta, tossed in with loads of vegetables, garlic, and chili sauces. Combined with Jie’s food adventure at Jimbaran, they led me to create Jiembaran Prawn Ramen. I grilled the juicy and sweet prawn, added the chewy ramen noodles
with some flavorful XO sauce, and paired it with egg, mussel clam, lap cheong, kombu butter, and chipotle tartar.
Wiem added, “Daging semur is one of my and Jie’s favorite cuisines. I recreated the beef cheek by topping it with dabu dabu sauce to add that zesty, spicy kick flavor. We combined it with pickled shallots, silky white bean puree, and a generous amount of fried onions that add a tasty, crunchy texture to the puree, mushroom, and butter. We called it Braised Beef Cheek Dabu Dabu.
The last special menu is Mango Tango. It is a dessert inspired by Mr. Fox’s travels to Singapore, my college days in the city of the lion, exploring every foodie’s dream destination, and Jie’s favorite Sago Dessert. This refreshing dessert combines subtly sweet and silky mango tofu with freshly cut mango, coconut pudding, mint leaves, coconut sorbet, sago pearls, a generous amount of mango sauce, and for an extra crunchy texture, a honeycomb tuile.”
Jiewa Vieri also said, “The uniqueness of this collaboration is in Chef Wiem’s exceptional reinterpretation of Modern Asian cuisine and my love for traveling and culinary ventures. I am very proud to be able to create these special menus with exceptional taste that will satisfy even the most demanding palate. Asian cuisines are my go-to whenever I go. It is an honor and a great challenge for me to collaborate with Chef Wiem and contribute my view for these special menus. What I had in mind when making these dishes, I wanted to present a menu that can be loved and
enjoyed by all people. With this collaboration, I want to promote the modern Asian archipelago's cuisine and its wide variety that can be incorporated into anything.”
