Hans Christian<\/span> and Budi Cahyadi’s<\/span> year-old restaurant is recognised as a rising star for its elegant and innovative Indonesia<\/span>-influenced contemporary cuisine<\/i><\/p>\n

LONDON<\/span>, March 7, 2023<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — August <\/b>in Jakarta, Indonesia<\/span><\/b> is the 2023 recipient of the coveted American Express One To Watch Award<\/b>. Determined by the organisers of Asia’s<\/span> 50 Best Restaurants in collaboration with their regional advisers, this award is given to a rising-star restaurant that demonstrates potential to break into the main Asia<\/span> ranking in future years.<\/p>\n

Helmed by chef and co-owner Hans Christian<\/span> and managing partner Budi Cahyadi<\/span>, August has made waves in Jakarta’s<\/span> dining landscape since opening in November 2021<\/span> with its own brand of cuisine that boasts respectful inclusion of Indonesian elements with fine dining flair. The intimate 50-seater features warm lighting, earthy colours, an open kitchen and bookshelves lined with the team’s personal collection, all of which help create an immersive and cosy dining experience.<\/p>\n

William Drew<\/span>, Director of Content for Asia’s<\/span> 50 Best Restaurants, says: “August’s success is evidence of its commitment to excellence, backed by culinary skill and a deep sense of hospitality. We congratulate the team on the positive impact it has had on Jakarta’s<\/span> dining scene.”<\/p>\n

Apart from being the founding duo’s birth month, August is named to convey the restaurant’s belief in ‘respect’, a theme that the team translates into their personable service and their cuisine. Tasting menus reflect Chef Christian’s years of experience in fine-dining kitchens, while incorporating Indonesian and Asian touches as an homage to the local region. With sustainability at the fore, core ingredients include seasonal line-caught fish from Bali<\/span> and Lombok; vegetables from farms in Lembang; vanilla pods from Sukabumi and 100% Indonesian cocoa in desserts.<\/p>\n

Christian and Cahyadi are Indonesian natives and culinary school and hospitality management graduates with a complementary mix of F&B experiences. It is their combined expertise that is reflected in the stellar dining experience at August.<\/p>\n

August joins an exciting line-up of past winners that includes Meta in Singapore<\/span> (2021) and Eat & Cook in Kuala Lumpur<\/span> (2022).<\/p>\n

August will be celebrated at the ceremony on 28th March 2023<\/span><\/b> in Singapore<\/span><\/b>, in collaboration with host destination partner Singapore Tourism Board. Sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna<\/span>, the Asia’s<\/span> 50 Best Restaurants 2023<\/b> awards will also be livestreamed on Facebook<\/a><\/u> and YouTube<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n
