Supper Club: The Long Table No. 2 — Archipelago
The Long Table No. 2 — Archipelago
I’m hosting another supper at my place — a shared table for people who enjoy food, conversation, and gathering slowly with others.
This second edition is inspired by the Indonesian archipelago — shaped by regional dishes, celebratory rice tables, pasar snacks, herbs, spice, smoke, coconut, and memory.
Some dishes come from childhood.
Some from family cooking.
Some from regions and flavours I continue returning to over the years.
At the center of the table is nasi kuning, surrounded by communal dishes meant to be passed around, shared, and eaten together.
It’s a slower kind of evening.
A communal table.
A mix of strangers and familiar faces.
Somewhere between a dinner gathering and a cultural experience.
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 and host.
I’m also the creator of Tahdig Bites — a Persian-inspired concept developed through pop-ups in Kuala Lumpur.
The Long Table Club is a more personal extension of that — bringing people together through themed suppers shaped by food, memory, and conversation.
What is The Long Table Club?
It’s a shared table.
A small group gathered for the evening — open to conversation, connection, and the experience of being present with others.
Each edition explores a different theme, cuisine, or story through food served across the table.
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 vegetarian preferences can be accommodated where needed.
Come as you are.
