    4. You have been in the industry for a long time. What are the challenges you have experienced as a chef?

    Occupying the highest position in the kitchen, I definitely have some difficulties. But the one I concern the most is somehow unrelated to kitchen operational.

    Actually I am the youngest person in my kitchen team. Thus I need to be respectful while at the same time lead them effectively. As a young leader, I embrace differences in the team and I become their student and leader at the same time.

    The respectfulness has brought us together for decades.

    Chiao Tung Restaurant is one of two restaurants at Mercure Hotel Jakarta Kota specialized in Chinese Cuisine.

    5. What are the best seller foods in Mercure Jakarta Kota?

    The best sellers are Beef Steak with Black Pepper and Dim sum, definitely. We also have an ongoing promotion for our new menu named Salmon Lodeh. It is a salmon soup with lodeh (vegetables stewed in coconut cream) stock. Definitely a recommendation for tourists!
