During a short visit to Rome a few days ago, Erick Thohir did an interview with the local TV channel RomaUno, discussing a rather unexpected topic: food. The Inter president visited an exhibition dedicated to Indonesian cuisine which is being constructed in Rome and he shared a few words regarding his culinary preferences. Here is what he had to say:
Do you prefer Italian or Indonesian cuisine?
“Indonesia is number one, Italy number two”, he answered laughing.
Which are your favourite Italian dishes?
“Sea bass is nice, and pasta as well. I also like ragout with bottarga”.
Should Italians get to know the Indonesian kitchen better?
” Our food has more taste, because we use a lot of spices. We also eat a lot of noodles, our own version of pasta”.
When you are in Italy, do you only eat Italian food or Indonesian as well?
“I only eat Italian food, because I haven’t yet found any Indonesian restaurants in Milan or Rome”.
