Studio Bumi, founded by Bagus Ruswandi in New York City, is reimagining how food can connect people. What started as an Indonesian meal-prep service on Instagram has blossomed into monthly communal dinners with rotating chefs. By spotlighting underrepresented cuisines, Studio Bumi transforms big-city loneliness into shared tables, flavors, and friendships.
We asked Bagus to share a favorite dish, and he chose Serundeng — a savory mix of spiced, toasted coconut often used as a crunchy topping for rice and meats. Curious to try it? Follow the link for the recipe HERE!
