Indonesia, known as one of the world's leading spice producers, incorporates rich, flavorful spices into its cuisine, giving its dishes a distinctive and appealing aroma.

One gourmet dish rich in flavorful spices is Mie Celor, a specialty from Palembang. Unlike the city's iconic Pempek, Mie Celor is less widely known, despite Palembang being the capital of South Sumatra. The dish features noodles that are brewed ('celor') and then combined with a rich coconut milk and shrimp broth. It is typically served with boiled eggs, bean sprouts, and chives. One notable feature of Mie Celor is its larger-than-usual noodles, which set it apart from other noodle dishes.

'We regularly feature a variety of culinary delights from different regions of Indonesia, and from September to November, we will highlight traditional dishes from South Sumatra.

'At Saffron Restaurant, each tantalizing portion costs just IDR 45,000. In addition to introducing the new menu, I also offer a tutorial on preparing Celor Noodles on the Aston Inn Jemursari Instagram channel. This allows our social media followers to gain new knowledge and skills in the kitchen, enabling them to recreate the dish at home.' Chef Prabowo Kusminarno, the hotel's Executive Chef, stated at Jalan Sidosermo II no. 70 Surabaya.

'The noodles have a chewy texture, and the rich aroma of the spices enhances the dish's deliciousness. It's perfect to enjoy both day and night, especially with shrimp and egg toppings that complement the meal. The price is very reasonable, and the best part is that you don't have to travel to Palembang to savor this flavorful, spice-infused Celor Noodle soup.' Said Bella, one of the hotel visitors who had the pleasure to sample this dish at Saffron Restaurant.
