Abstract

The abundance of Indonesian gastronomic wealth, expressed in literary works, is challenging to discuss and study. The focus of this research is the use of gastronomical metaphors to describe the family relationship’s critique in the collection of Joko Pinurbo’s Khong Guan Banquette. Through the method of close reading and gastro-critical reading, it can be stated that coffee, tea, and food that correlate with Khong Guan cans (biscuits, wafers, and traditional snacks typical of Lebaran) are used as a metaphor for human life, which crosses life’s problems and reflects on relationship crisis. family.
