PESTA RASA, WHIZ LUXE HOTEL’S SURABAYA LODEH FESTIVAL

The event titled Pesta Rasa by Whizteria was held on Wednesday, May 7, 2026, at Janaloka Ballroom. In collaboration with She Radio, the event carried the theme Festival Lodeh Porong — a celebration of Surabaya’s traditional culinary flavors packaged into a creative competition involving 30 PKK and community teams from Surabaya. The main highlight of the event was the plating and decoration competition for Lodeh Porong, participated in by 30 PKK and community teams, each consisting of four participants.

Each team brought their homemade Lodeh Porong from home and arranged and decorated it beautifully at their respective tables. Judging criteria included three main aspects: the taste of the lodeh, the uniqueness of the side dishes accompanying the lodeh, and the aesthetics of the plating presentation. This competition was designed to explore the creativity of PKK mothers while reintroducing Surabaya’s culinary heritage to a wider audience. In addition, the event introduced one of Giri Raos Restaurant’s signature dishes, Lodeh Porong, to the public. The competition was won by the Mom Love Cooking community from Surabaya.

The collaboration with She Radio Surabaya became one of the main attractions of the event. She Radio not only participated as a media partner but also actively enlivened the competition through chants and a fashion show. The competition judges consisted of credible figures from both sides, namely Mrs. Asrilia and Mr. Yosan from She Radio Surabaya, as well as Chef Eri and Mr. Teguh Muliawan, General Manager of Whiz Luxe Hotel Spazio Surabaya.

“This competition is not merely about who wins. It is about togetherness, about our love for Indonesian culinary heritage, and about the spirit of mothers who never stop creating and innovating. We are proud and delighted to celebrate with all the mothers here today,” said Yosan, radio announcer and representative of She Radio Surabaya.
