In conjunction with the upcoming Mooncake Festival, scheduled for September 29, 2023, Sarirasa Group is unveiling a limited-time mooncake menu inspired by one of Indonesia's most cherished traditional treats, the nastar cake. As an Indonesian F&B company, Sarirasa Group presents mooncakes that blend the distinctive flavors of Indonesia with a modern presentation. These limited-time-menu will be available as a mooncake set menu at Gopek House and as hantaran through Sarirasa Catering.
The Mooncake Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is the second most important festival in Chinese tradition, following the Chinese New Year. Observed on the 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese calendar, when the moon shines its brightest, this festival brings together Asian communities, particularly in China, and serves as an occasion for family members and friends to gather and savor mooncakes. In the archipelago, Indonesians of Chinese descent usually celebrate this occasion by exchanging mooncakes with loved ones and business associates.
"The Mooncake Festival holds a significant place in the Chinese Indonesian community's calendar. As a part of Sarirasa Group that oversees the Indonesian Peranakan restaurant Gopek House and Sarirasa Catering, we are dedicated to preserving and promoting Indonesian cuisine. The introduction of mooncakes, inspired by the delectable nastar cakes, is a genuine endeavor on our part to preserve Indonesian culture, especially the Peranakan heritage,” said Lavinia Siswadi, Head of Marketing at Sarirasa Group.

• Durian Kenari: Combining the deliciousness of durian with crunchy pieces of pili nuts, this variant offers a sweet and creamy flavor fusion.
