The 'Glamorous Galaxy Gala': A Night of Stellar Performances and Gading Marten's Unexpected Culinary Surprise!

Indonesia’s entertainment scene erupted last month with “The Glamorous Galaxy Gala,” a star-studded event celebrating the achievements of Indonesian actors, musicians, and artists. Held at the opulent Grand Ballroom of the Ritz Carlton Jakarta, the gala was a visual feast, from its shimmering celestial decor to the dazzling ensembles worn by the attendees.
But beyond the glitz and glamour, one moment stole the show – Gading Marten’s unexpected foray into the culinary arts! Yes, you read that right. The beloved actor, known for his comedic timing and charming personality, surprised everyone with a live cooking demonstration. Armed with an apron, a chef’s hat, and a mischievous twinkle in his eye, Gading whipped up a delicious Indonesian dish – nasi goreng kampung, no less.
His culinary skills weren’t exactly Michelin-star worthy (the rice was slightly burnt, and the sambal chili was a tad too spicy), but his enthusiasm and self-deprecating humor won over the audience. As he struggled to flip the omelet, quipping about needing “a stunt double for this culinary challenge,” the entire ballroom erupted in laughter.
But let’s rewind for a bit. Before Gading’s culinary escapade took center stage, the gala unfolded with an array of spectacular performances.
- Musical Fireworks: Renowned singer Rossa captivated the audience with her powerful vocals, belting out her chart-topping hits that had everyone singing along.
- Dance Extravaganza: The “Jakarta Dance Project,” a collective of talented young dancers, mesmerized the crowd with their intricate choreography and vibrant energy.
- Stand-up Comedy Delight: Comedian Ernest Prakasa’s witty observations about everyday life in Indonesia left the audience roaring with laughter, proving that humor transcends cultural boundaries.
The night wasn’t just about entertainment; it was also a platform to recognize and celebrate talent. Awards were presented for various categories, including Best Actor/Actress, Outstanding Musical Performance, and Breakthrough Artist of the Year.
A Gala Beyond Entertainment: Gading Marten’s Philanthropic Side
But the true highlight of “The Glamorous Galaxy Gala” went beyond the glitz and entertainment. Gading Marten, aside from his impromptu cooking show, used his platform to advocate for a cause close to his heart – education for underprivileged children.
He passionately spoke about his involvement with the “Pendidikan Untuk Semua” foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Gading encouraged guests to contribute to the foundation, emphasizing the transformative power of education in breaking cycles of poverty.
His words resonated deeply with the audience. Several attendees pledged substantial donations, and there was a palpable sense of goodwill in the air.

He uses his fame and influence to shine a light on important issues, inspiring others to make a difference.
Gading’s foray into cooking at “The Glamorous Galaxy Gala” may not have produced a Michelin-star meal, but it showcased his willingness to step outside of his comfort zone and embrace the unexpected. This vulnerability endeared him even further to his fans, reminding them that even celebrities are human beings with quirks and imperfections.
