Experience authentic Indonesian cuisine at The Moluccas Room

Get a taste of a wide range of signature sates and all day ala carte buffet known as the Rijsttafel Gala.

Singapore is a multicultural country home to people with diverse ethnicities. Craving for different cuisines is therefore not much of a problem in the Lion City, with lots of restaurants offering various Asian and Western specialties. One such restaurant is The Moluccas Room, which serves authentic and traditional Indonesian food prepared by Indonesian chefs.

Moluccas, the former name of present day Maluku, is an Indonesian province consisting of islands that produce spices such as nutmeg, clove and mace, among others. At the Moluccas Room, this rich spice heritage is celebrated through the restaurant’s traditional Indonesian menu. The restaurant offers diners a dining concept featuring authentic Indonesian cuisine from the finest Indonesian chefs. Nestled along the Marina Bay Sands Promenade, overlooking the city outline, and the Singapore River as a backdrop, it is perfect for fine dining enthusiasts who crave for Indonesian cuisine. Jessica Welirang, Director of The Moluccas Room, says, “We strive for our esteemed customers to experience exotic, authentic Indonesian Cuisine in a welcoming, warm and luxurious setting.”

Besides the food at The Moluccas Room, the blend of authentic and contemporary is further reflected in the interior decors featuring stylish dark wood furniture, illuminated intricate batil motifs, and custom made tableware. Full glass windows on one side of the restaurant offer a scenic view of the Marina Bay.

The restaurant’s menu is very extensive but Welirang considers sates as their bestseller. “Our range of signature sates is very popular and unique since it is marinated with spices, charcoal grilled, and served with authentic Indonesian sauces. Must try sates at the Moluccas Room are our Sate Ayam Madura, Sate Angus and Sate Padang Lidah Sapi,” she recommends.

120 new Indonesian dishes a year

Welirang notes that a memorable experience that diners can enjoy at The Moluccas Room is their range of signature sates and all day ala carte buffet, known as the Rijsttafel Gala, which is a colonial meal setting of 10 authentic signature Indonesian dishes served in a single setting to share. “Our dishes changes every month. So in 12 months, we will introduce dishes from 12 different regions from Indonesia, so that’s 12 different menus and 120 new dishes to savour throughout the year,” she adds.

With its contemporary culinary interpretations of authentic Indonesian cuisine and its Marina Bayfront locale, The Moluccas Room is positioned to introduce a refreshingly unique Indonesian contemporary concept to any event. Covered with lustrous warm wooden parquette throughout their 2500 sq ft restaurant with “Mega Mendung” Batik-patterned, floor to ceiling columns, the Moluccas Room exudes luxury and warmth.
