Balibon stands for taste, love, life, and hope - an acronym derived from the names of two regions in Indonesia where the founder and her husband are from: Bali and Cirebon. From this, small steps have been taken to preserve the heritage of ancestral flavors and share their benefits with the world, through the spices and tastes of the Indonesian archipelago. This business began in a home kitchen in October 2017, offering Balinese dishes as the main menu items: Ayam Betutu and Sate Plecing. In early 2018, Ira Rahmawati, the founder, decided to expand by opening Waroeng Balibon restaurant and added Cirebonese dishes from West Java to the menu: Empal Gentong and Nasi Lengko. With authentic Balinese and Cirebon flavors at affordable prices, this small restaurant became the go-to place for families and communities to gather, especially given its proximity to IPB University in Bogor. Unfortunately, in mid-2020, Waroeng Balibon was forced to close its doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With only one remaining employee, the service continued through a home kitchen and pre-order system for the next three years. Throughout the pandemic, with unstable conditions, Ira dedicated herself to reviving the business by learning various aspects, especially in product innovation, food safety, legal matters, finance, exports, and, of course, personal development. In 2023, the Single Business Identification Number (Nomor Induk Berusaha - NIB) 0706230055152 was issued under the business name PT. Mustafa Food Indonesia, with Kampoeng Balibon as the product brand. The logo and brand are also registered. This legal recognition has given the company the confidence to grow and develop a sustainable and resilient business. The company’s focus is on developing ready-to-use seasonings and derivative products made from local Indonesian spices, providing solutions to make it easier for anyone to prepare meals and create new culinary experiences. The mission remains the same: to preserve Indonesia's culinary heritage and spread the benefits of spices worldwide. Because we believe, anyone can cook deliciously and easily!
