Our first meeting in 2012 was held on Sunday 8 April 2012 on the terrace of our house in South Jakarta Cilandak area—a luncheon as usual in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Ida de Ponteves had prepared a delicious buffet of very traditional Indonesian food, with a number of delicacies from Makassar such as fish, “pastel” (called jalkot in Makassar), a kind of vegetable puffed pastry, and many others. Ida was born in Makassar and loves to cook Makassar delicacies.
