Supper Club: The Long Table No. 1 — Borders & Belonging
The Long Table No. 1 — Borders & Belonging
I’m hosting a small supper at my place — a shared table for people who enjoy food, conversation, and being present.
This first edition is shaped by dishes I grew up with, and those I discovered while moving between places — where flavours carry memory, identity, and story.
It’s a slow evening.
We sit together, eat in courses, and let the night unfold around one table.
Not just dinner — but a space to arrive, settle, and connect.
About the Host
Hi, I’m Hesti.
I grew up in Indonesia and have spent the past few years living across cultures — something that naturally shapes the way I cook.
Some dishes come from memory, some from people I’ve met along the way, and some from curiosity.
I’m also the creator of Tahdig Bites — a concept built around tahdig, the crispy Persian rice, shaped and filled with classic Persian stews. I’ve been running it through pop-ups in Kuala Lumpur.
This supper is a more personal extension of that — not takeaway, but a table to sit, share, and experience the food differently.
What is The Long Table Club?
It’s a shared table.
A mix of strangers and familiar faces, gathered for the evening — open to conversation, connection, and the experience of being present with others.
Somewhere between a dinner at a friend’s home and a cultural exchange.
You don’t just come for the food — you come to be part of the table.
What to Expect
• A multi-course menu, served throughout the evening
• 8–10 guests seated together at one table
• Shared, family-style dining
• Dishes introduced with context and story
• A slow, unhurried evening — no fixed end
The menu is prepared using halal ingredients, and I’m able to accommodate vegetarian preferences where needed.
Come as you are.
