Two Rijstaffels

At a tea house in the mountain city of Gunung Utara on Unan Baser, Dominic Flandry and his single young guest sit under large red parasols on a ledge above a cloud-filled ravine and are entertained by strolling dancers.

Flandry orders:

tea;

a jug of arrack;
two rijstaffels to begin with;
sherbet;
more tea and arrack;
another jug of arrack.

We are told that a single rijstaffel takes a couple of hours to eat.

Here, Flandry is the match of Nicholas van Rijn and of some of SM Stirling's characters. See the Food Thread.
