Roemah Martha Tilaar Took Culinary Community to Enjoy Gombong Uniqueness

As part of cultural trip that held by Sajian Sedap community last Saturday (13/4), Roemah Martha Tilaar (House of Martha Tilaar) warmly welcome the tour participant and Ministry of Tourisn team (Kemenpar).

In this opportunity, we took them around to see Roemah Martha Tilaar and get to know Dr.(H.C) Martha Tilaar’s past before she become one of successful cosmetic entrepreneurs in Indonesia. Roemah Martha Tilaar in Gombong is not just a house. Now, building that will turns to 100 years this year functioned as Gombong’s tourism place and activities centre for people in Gombong.

Here, children could learn traditional dance, the youth could hold many positive community activities such as book review or film screenings, and every year people will gather to attend local festivals held by  Roemah Martha Tilaar such as Dolanan Anak, Pesta Kriya, or Cap Go Meh festival. Not just to see old yet memorable ambience of Roemah Martha Tilaar, all the participants also had a chance to try Gombong foods like Ambal Satay and Dawet Ireng, and also learn to do makeup with Mirabella Cosmetics. The fun is even getting merrier when Mirabella Cosmetics chose participant with best makeup.

By the way, Martha Tilaar team also took the guests to visit the legendary Sintren Factory and Kampung Pandan. In Sintren, they could see the existance of local cigarette brand which established since 1950 and still survive although it eroded by modernism. Meanwhile, in Kampung Pandan, they could see how women there produce handmade craft using pandan leaf.

Definitely unique point of Gombong tourism that culture enthusiasts don’t want to miss. We are beautifying Indonesia for our Wonderful Indonesia.
