How to Order the Perfect Indonesian Lunch for Your Team
Indonesian cuisine is famous for its "bumbu" (spice blends) and comforting, aromatic dishes. It is a fantastic choice for office catering because the food travels well and is naturally designed for sharing. Whether you are hosting a casual Friday lunch or a big client presentation, here is how to build a successful Indonesian spread:
Curate a Balanced Spread
The best Indonesian meals offer a mix of textures and flavors—salty, sweet, spicy, and savory. Instead of individual orders, try building a menu around a central carbohydrate like Nasi Goreng (fried rice) or yellow turmeric rice. surround that with staples like Beef Rendang (slow-cooked coconut curry), Satay (grilled skewers), and a vegetable dish like Gado-Gado (salad with peanut sauce). This approach mimics the traditional "Nasi Campur" (mixed rice) style of eating.
Navigating Dietaries & Allergens
Indonesian food is incredibly friendly to various diets, though there are a few ingredients to watch. Many dishes are naturally dairy-free and use coconut milk for creaminess. However, because peanuts and shrimp paste are common in sauces, it is important to ask your caterer to label these clearly. On the plus side, if you have a team requiring Halal options, Indonesian cuisine is one of the safest and most delicious bets.
Buffet-Style Works Best
Unlike cuisines that rely on plated entrees, Indonesian food shines in a buffet or "family style" format. Because rice is the canvas for the meal, it is easy to control portions; heavy eaters can take extra rice and meats, while light eaters can stick to satay and veggies. Look for platters of Mie Goreng (fried noodles) or large trays of stir-fried tempeh to keep the line moving efficiently.
Don't Forget the Crunch and Heat
The magic of Indonesian food often lies in the toppings. A standard meal becomes memorable with the addition of Krupuk (crunchy prawn or veggie crackers) and Bawang Goreng (crispy fried shallots). Be sure to ask for Sambal (chili paste) and Kecap Manis (sweet soy sauce) on the side, allowing your spice-loving colleagues to turn up the heat without overwhelming those who prefer milder flavors.
Food That Travels Well
One of the biggest advantages of Indonesian catering is its durability. Unlike soups that might cool down or fried items that might get soggy, dishes like Rendang and braised chicken often taste even better after the flavors have had time to meld. This makes Indonesian food a stress-free option if you have a flexible meeting schedule, as the food holds its quality well in warming trays.
Lean on Our Partners
At CaterCow, we partner with vendors who pride themselves on authentic island flavors. If you aren't sure how much satay to order per person, or need a vegan alternative to a shrimp-based dish, just ask! Our partners can guide you toward a menu that balances bold spice with office-friendly practicality.
By keeping these tips in mind, you will treat your office to a lunch that is warm, filling, and full of character. From the crunch of the crackers to the aroma of lemongrass and lime leaf, an Indonesian feast is a surefire way to wake up the office.
