Hospitality’s New Normal

Welcome to another edition of Exquisite Taste magazine. These are unprecedented times that we are living in, with huge challenges for many of us personally, as well as for businesses, especially in tourism and hospitality. As people are spending much more time at home, in this Exquisite Taste we look at the eat-at-home gourmet food and cocktail scene, as well as finding out how some influential people stay focused and keep their business running in these unusual times.

The Moslem fasting month of Ramadan is here, so in the Calendar pages we detail venues that have created iftar treats and fast-breaking feasts, as well as Idul Fitri hampers, that can be enjoyed at home or sent to your loved ones and colleagues to share the joy. In our Cover pages, we feature a plethora of takeaway and delivery services from five-star hotels and gourmet restaurants in Jakarta and Bali to ensure that you can still enjoy a gourmet lifestyle, or send these luscious delights to your friends and family.

As usual we talked to some chefs, this time finding out what they are cooking at home, along with the recipes, as well as getting tips and advice from respected people in the entertainment, business and banking industries about staying healthy and positive in these unusual times.

If you follow us on social media and subscribe to our newsletter, you will see we have been running some great giveaways where the winners have enjoyed gourmet meals delivered free to their doors!

From the team at Exquisite Taste, we wish a blessed Idul Fitri to those who celebrate it and we'll see you soon!
