Masjid Al-Hikmah, a mosque in Astoria, is well known as a hub of New York's Indonesian Muslim community. Since 2005, however, its reputation as a house of worship has been matched by its reputation for hosting one of the city's most mouth-watering food events: the Indonesian Food Bazaar.
Taking place several times throughout the warm-weather season, the Bazaar brings Indonesian home cooks—including a merry band of women who make the city's best gado-gado on behalf of the mosque—out of the woodwork to celebrate Indonesian cuisine. In this episode, Masjid treasurer Ade Hadiz lays out the impact of the event, which has been embraced by food enthusiasts from all over New York.
