JAKARTA - The Muslim population in Indonesia will reach 240.62 million in 2023. This number is equivalent to 86.7% of the national population with a total of 277.53 million people.

The high Muslim population in Indonesia makes halal labels in the culinary business very important. Halal Certification from the Halal Product Guarantee Administration Agency (BPJPH) and the determination from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) as an official institution with Halal Certification provides references for potential consumers.

Aware of these needs, Imperial Kitchen & Dimsum and Imperial Kitchen & Dimsum Signature have now officially received Halal Certification.

General Manager of Imperial Kitchen & Dimsum and Imperial Kitchen & Dimsum Signature, Nanda Pamontri, said that by pocketing Halal Certification, it is hoped that this restaurant can be more trusted and accepted by culinary lovers in Indonesia.

This restaurant, known for its typical Chinese menus, proves its commitment to providing the best quality and service in the eyes of customers.

"We realize that Halal status is very important in the culinary world, especially for Indonesians, most of whom are Muslim. So by pocketing this Halal Certification, we can provide guarantees and maintain consumer security," added Nanda Pamontri when receiving halal certification in Duren Tiga, South Jakarta, Wednesday, December 20.

The Halal Certification test process starts from the food raw materials, tools used, to the processing process and method of recitation. In conclusion, all have met the requirements determined by the Halal Product Guarantee Agency (BPJPH) and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).

"Alhamdulillah, we hope that with this the public will not have to worry anymore because the menu we present is guaranteed to be halal. If there are three restaurants in line, there is one that is certified halal, I'm sure it will be the first choice," Nanda added.

To date, this restaurant, known as Dimsum as its mainstay, has more than 100 branches spread across various islands in Indonesia, and of course it will continue to be present to explore the next cities.

"With the inauguration of Halal Certification by the Halal Product Guarantee Administration (BPJPH) and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), we believe Imperial Kitchen & Dimsum and Imperial Kitchen & Dimsum Signature can further develop and innovate in creating quality products at affordable prices for customer satisfaction," concluded Nanda Pamontri.
