Bringing the Emerald Green of Pandan to Germany
This year, Bandoeng’22 is proudly present at five CHEFS CULINAR trade events across Germany, key moments dedicated to meeting hospitality professionals, strengthening partnerships, and introducing the versatility of pandan to new audiences.
These events are not just exhibitions. They are about connection. About conversation. About inspiring chefs, bartenders and decision-makers with a flavor profile that is still largely undiscovered in the German market.
From cocktails to coffee serves, from desserts to modern food pairings, Bandoeng’22 shows what pandan can truly do.
Live from Neumünster
As this article is being written, Bandoeng’22 is present at the CHEFS CULINAR Messe in Neumünster. Representing the brand on site is our co-founder Mariska, who is introducing visitors to the story, flavor profile and applications of Bandoeng’22 Pandan Liqueur. Together with the enthusiastic team of Chefs Culinar Nord -lead by the passionate Category Manager Beverages Anne Geyer, she is invitingbar and restaurant owners to experience Bandoeng’22 in its purest form (served neat) allowing them to discover its soft, aromatic and gently spiced character firsthand.
Behind the bar, professional bartenders Daniel and Tim are crafting signature serves for (potential) customers, including The Bandoeng’22 Sling and The Frozen Pandan Colada.
Both cocktails are garnished with a slice of traditional Dutch Pandan Spekkoek (produced by Hekos) a layered spice cake that is beloved in the Netherlands but still largely unknown in Germany.
The reactions so far
Enthusiastic. Curious. Positive. Loving it! Visitors are not only impressed by the cocktails, but equally surprised by the distinctive flavor of our pandan liqueur and the unique pairing with spekkoek. For many, it is their very first encounter with pandan — and it leaves an impression. More information about the Neumünster event can be found here
