Aruna & Her Palate

Aruna dan Lidahnya is a delightful cinematic journey that explores the rich culinary landscape of Indonesia through the eyes of its protagonist, Aruna. Directed by Edwin, the film is a perfect blend of romance, food, and travel, offering a sensory experience that is both visually and emotionally satisfying. The narrative follows Aruna, a passionate food enthusiast, as she embarks on a work-related trip across Indonesia, where she indulges in her love for food while also reconnecting with old friends and navigating the complexities of her personal life. The film's strength lies in its vibrant portrayal of Indonesian cuisine, with beautifully shot scenes of local dishes that are sure to make any viewer's mouth water. Beyond the food, the film also delves into themes of love, friendship, and self-discovery, making it a well-rounded and enjoyable watch.

This movie was filled with some of the most exotic and special food from just several cities in Indonesia. And combined with the love stories amongst all the main cast, plus wonderful acting, made this an entertaining movie to fans of romantic drama genre. There was a bit of side story involved, but I felt the main plot was on the journey to find romance.

If you are looking for a movie that would probably motivate you to start culinary journey and want to experience love story plus watching performances from some of the Indonesian top actors & actresses (who were able to portray their characters very convincingly & showed how superior they were compared to some of the more junior newcomers), then you definitely should give this a try.

This movie is light and super entertaining.. it is something that u can relate for indonesian on daily basis.. super love the movie

Fresh stories, compared to typical Indonesian drama films. There is no technical or new way of presenting stories, but the audience seems to be led to their daily lives. Plot development changes from light to overlapping and quite complex, not boring in each round. Of couse, it makes you hungry! :)

Another Indonesian movie with culinary theme and the only movie where foods in the movie can also be tasted in the real world (outside the movie) like Nasi Goreng Aruna, etc. Another movie where Dian Sastro and Nicholas Saputra play together again in the same movie after Ada Apa Dengan Cinta ? Dian Sastro still beautiful with simple make up. A movie with good combination of stories between foods, friendship, works, love, and a bit comedy. Good movie to watch and quite entertaining especially Dian Sastro as Aruna with her innocence face. Watch this movie 2 times.
