An Indonesian-inspired dinner for 45 guests.
For Ace B.V., A Culinary Affair hosted an Indonesian-inspired sit-down dinner for 45 guests at Club Ace in Amsterdam, from krupuk and sateh lilit to a milk tea panna cotta with pandan.
On 7 May 2026, Ace B.V. welcomed 45 guests to Club Ace in Amsterdam for an evening that started with drinks at the bar and moved into a sit-down dinner. A Culinary Affair created the menu, dressed the tables and ran the kitchen and service for the evening.
An Indonesian-inspired menu
The menu took its cue from Indonesian flavours, reworked with a light, modern touch. Krupuk and emping on the table, crispy corn fritters with coriander, chilli-lime mayo and pickled red onion, and sateh lilit with crispy chicken skin and green papaya slaw. A sweet potato curry with jasmine rice foam and crispy wild rice, brioche buns with beef rendang and cucumber atjar, and a fresh gado gado bowl with julienned vegetables, a light peanut sauce and emping. To finish: milk tea panna cotta with pandan anglaise and brioche crumble.
The table
The tables were dressed in white linen with crystal glassware, silver cutlery and fine porcelain, fresh flowers and a custom menu card for every guest. A selection of white and red wines accompanied the dinner.
Our approach
We matched the menu, presentation and service to the energetic atmosphere of Club Ace, so food and drink became a seamless part of the evening.
