Cooking with Chef Mandif Warokka: Mie Cakalang

Mandif Warokka is an honoured Indonesian Chef praised for his European and Asian cuisines. He describes his achievement today as a result of having embarked on his “long-term vacation”. He jumped from one country to another “stealing” recipes and opening his mind of world-wide kitchens. His Ubud fine dining establishment, Blanco par Mandif, is his way to pay homage to his country’s home foods, such asthe Mie Cakalang.
