Mr Chai came to Jakarta! Mainly was for participating in the 39th IVU World Vegetarian Congress 2010, but he still have time going around Jakarta with me during the weekend.
Ok, now you probably amaze how on earth that our beloved city could host this World class type of congress?? Apparently she could! Thanks to the Vegan Society of Indonesia and specially the lovely and charming Drs.Susianto,MKM; the head of VSI. I don't know him in person but I saw his friendly face a lot during the congress.
Here are some photos taken this morning, photos from one of the symposium, some food stall and from the talk show - broadcasted live in MetroTV from the lounge.
Above you can see the three important persons in this event John Davis, George Jacob and the charming Susianto during the talkshow.
A lot of Veg restaurants, veg food and environmental friendly products were introduced in this event. My favorite was the Indonesian owned Chocolate product named Monggo Chocolate. Produced by Jogjakartan company using our famous Indonesian cocoa. They sold dark chocolate range in this event because vegan are not supposed to consume milk and they use 100% cocoa butter not gluten, But I still think their 58% dark chocolate are still too sweet. Anyway, I'm still proud to know that we have this chocolate tho mainly it is because of their nice packaging. I'm so absurd! but who cares... :)
Oh and I am now officially a member of IVS. I'm proudly a vegsible - flexible vegetarian LOL
