As Sarirasa Group embarks on its journey to celebrate its 50th anniversary in July, the company reinforces its commitment to celebrating Indonesia’s cultural diversity. As part of this celebration, Sarirasa Group highlights Sarirasa Catering, an entity that symbolises their dedication.
With a background in communal dining traditions and the increasing demand for catering services beyond restaurants, especially during major celebrations such as Eid al-Fitr, Christmas, and Chinese New Year, which often involve the exchange of food gifts, Sarirasa Group has begun to develop full-service catering. Established in 1975, Sarirasa Catering aims to honor, enhance, preserve, and promote Indonesia’s cultural richness through food services for every occasion.
“Sarirasa Catering is not just about celebrating achievements, but also as a way to express sympathy and respect to others during major celebrations in Indonesia such as Eid al-Fitr, Christmas, and Chinese New Year. These are the moments where family and friends celebrate togetherness through communal dining or sending tokens of love,” said Lavinia Siswadi, Head of Marketing Sarirasa Group.

Sarirasa Group’s Special Offerings
In addition to its diverse range of culinary delights, Sarirasa Group presents a unique tradition of gift-giving known as “hantaran” during special occasions like Eid al-Fitr, Christmas, and Chinese New Year. Each brand under Sarirasa Group offers hantaran with distinct focuses, showcasing the uniqueness and diversity of our brands as symbols of appreciation and hope to maintain strong relationships.
Our hantaran selections vary, reflecting the cultural nuances highlighted by each brand within Sarirasa Group. For instance, “Tumpengan,” symbolizing a connection with the divine during joyous or formal occasions, offers symbolic cone-shaped rice in Javanese culture. “Tampahan,” featuring casual yet visually appealing presentations on traditional trays, serves as an ideal choice for informal gatherings. Meanwhile, “Besek,” a bamboo-woven box filled with authentic delicacies, presents a distinctive and practical gift for special events. Our hantaran collection also includes “Rantang,” a stack of enamel storage containers, offering a traditional Indonesian Peranakan hamper option perfect for birthdays or conveying heartfelt sentiments.
