t is customary to break the fast during Ramadhan by eating dates. Chef de cuisine of Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta, Philip Walasary, fuses local tradition with Western-style salad.
“Most of our menu items here at the Four Seasons are fusion dishes. We ‘marry’ dates with salad and to enhance the flavors, we add honey lemon dressing and feta cheese,” said chef Philip.
“The simplest dressing you can add to a salad is a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. However, in this recipe we add honey to break the flavors,” he added.
