Typical Indonesian culinary delights are providing additional energy for Indonesian athletes competing in the 2025 Asian Youth Para Games in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Although food is provided at the accommodation, Indonesian athletes add another source of energy intake by presenting typical Indonesian cuisine.
The Indonesian Chef de Mission (CdM) team and the Indonesian Student Association (PPI) of the United Arab Emirates provide boxes containing Indonesian specialties every day at the venues for the eight sports branches in which Indonesia participates.
"Sometimes when we participate in events abroad, our requests to the committee regarding the food menu are not always met," said the manager of the Indonesian badminton team, Sapta Kunta Purnama, in an official statement on Tuesday.
"It's a great initiative from the CdM Indonesia team to provide these essential supplies, especially for training and competition venues. Having these Indonesian specialties is a huge help to the athletes," he added.
