When we think about a lapo, we usually imagine the food and the atmosphere that we can only find there, even maybe about how they bring back memories of us with our family and friends. There’s a new lapo in the heart of the SCBD South Jakarta area, Lapo Porsea, that offers authentic North Sumatran dishes especially from Batak Toba, in a modern setting.
At Lapo Porsea, the team is dedicated to preserving the true essence of Batak Toba flavors. They transform this culinary tradition into a premium dining experience, inviting food connoisseurs to discover Batak cuisine’s rich, complex flavors and high quality. “We go to great lengths to source the finest North Sumatran ingredients to ensure every dish at Lapo Porsea stays true to its roots. Our cooking process precisely mirrors traditional methods from Toba, capturing the essence of Batak cuisine,” said Executive Chef of Lapo Porsea, Patrese Vito.
Their signature dishes center around pork, featuring premium cuts like Iberico pork. But it’s not just about pork because they also showcase an array of protein choices, such as Lake Toba’s Tilapia, Miyazaki A5 beef, and Canadian lobster. They also offer classic menus that become favorites like Arsik, Tanggo-Tanggo, and Manuk Napinadar. “Our goal is to captivate guests with the true essence of Batak Toba flavors; each bite is meant to evoke the unmistakable taste of a traditional lapo,” said Maruarar Sirait, Lapo Porsea Founder.
For more Batak experience, Lapo Porsea embraces its Bataknese identity by showcasing its core elements. A touch of heritage can be seen adorning the hallway with a collection of Ulos, traditional Batak fabric, infusing the décor with cultural richness and character. Similarly, the presence of the piano on stage reflects the Batak culture in music.
