First of all, var_dump(); is a function and you should use it like this : var_dump($result);

Here is your information hierarchy :

- $data
-- $data[0]
--- $data[0][0]
---- $data[0][0]['NAMA_MENU']

Here, you are trying to echo an array ( $data[0] ). It's not possible.

You can :

— Create a double recursive foreach :

foreach ($result as $data ){
    foreach ($data[0] as $innerData ){
        echo $innerData['NAMA_MENU'];
    }  
}

— Get directly your needed value inside the first foreach :

foreach ($result as $data ){
    echo $data[0][0]['NAMA_MENU'];
}
