Delicious Mother’s Day Promotion: Two Dinner Boxes by Top Chef Soenil Bahadoer at Jumbo (Cooked with His Mother!)

Top chef Soenil Bahadoer recently teamed up with Jumbo for a delicious one-two punch. The supermarket chain sold a Michelin-star dinner box by Soenil Bahadoer for people to enjoy at home. And now, especially for Mother’s Day, Soenil and Jumbo have put together another delicious promotion.

Soenil Bahadoer of De Lindehof restaurant** is known for his incredible dishes featuring Surinamese and Indian ingredients that come together in an ultimate flavor combination. And now, for a very attractive price, you can experience for yourself just how fantastically delicious Soenil’s Surinamese-Indian star cuisine is.

His mother’s bara

When we once asked star chef Soenil Bahadoer about his ultimate family recipe, he immediately called out: Bahadoer’s bara! He learned to make them from his mother (you can find star chef Soenil Bahadoer’s family recipe for bara here). Soenil learned more than just the art of making the perfect bara from his mother. She also often made Surinamese pea soup, the spirited version of Dutch pea soup. ‘As a child, I considered this the ultimate comfort food in winter. Especially when you had a cold or the flu.’

So it’s no surprise that, especially for Mother’s Day, Soenil headed into the kitchen with his mother and put together two dinner boxes specifically for Jumbo.

Two different dinner boxes

The first box (€40, for 2 people) includes a starter of marinated salmon with asparagus rendang and yuzu dressing; a main course of marinated ham hock with miso jus, asparagus and baby potatoes with their skins on; and a dessert of blonde strawberry-rhubarb compote and marinated pineapple.

The second box also contains all the ingredients for a delicious dinner. This box (€35, for 2 people) includes a starter of Tom Kha Kai with marinated prawns and marinated shiitake, plus a kaffir oil dressing. The main course is Rendang made with beef chuck, rice with lime leaves and lemongrass, complemented by charred white cabbage glazed with kaffir oil and fresh atjar. For dessert: an apple-pineapple tulip.

While stocks last!
