2026 Immersia: Taste Indonesia with the Ambassador

Taste Indonesia’s comfort food, Javanese Noodle Soup, and have dinner with Indonesian Ambassador to Australia

Join us for a cooking demo and dinner experience celebrating one of Indonesia’s much-loved comfort foods: Javanese-style noodle soup!

Watch the dish come to life with egg, pulled chicken, and fresh vegetables, while picking up practical tips to recreate this comforting dish at home.

There’s more to discover! Taste Indonesian favourites including tempeh, tofu, and sambal—the flavour-packed chilli condiment at the heart of Indonesian cuisine. It’s a chance to taste, learn, and explore Indonesia’s rich culinary traditions.

The evening also offers a special opportunity to meet the Indonesian Ambassador to Australia, Dr Siswo Pramono, over dinner and conversation. Bring your questions about Indonesia-Australia relations, culture, education, and the many connections between our two countries.

For university students and the wider public, this is also a unique opportunity to connect with Embassy of Indonesia officials, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations through student initiatives, cultural projects, academic engagement, and professional networks.

Whether you love food, are curious about Indonesian culture, or simply enjoy good conversation and new connections, this is an experience not to be missed.

Limited seats, secure your place right away.

This edition is in collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy and the ANU School of Culture, History of Language for its annual flagship program Immersia.
