A deeply rooted tradition from the rich cultural heritage of Java, Indonesia and inspired by the ethnic Arab dining style of communal eating, Liwetan is a feast of rice, fresh vegetables and an array of different dishes is spread out on top of banana leaves while friends & family gather around to eat together. This style of eating dates back over a century with origins from royal ceremonies and spread throughout Indonesia with variations throughout different regions to match local flavors and customs.

Here at Rice & Sambal we serve it on a bamboo basket lined with banana leaf.  Utensils are optional but we recommend eating with your hands for the full indonesian experience, which is, in our opinion, the best way to eat because it enriches our sensory experience, mindfulness, cultural awareness and connects you more to your food.  Just make sure you wash your hands first !
