Traditional Balinese Meal in a Multi-Generational Family Compound

Summary

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Putu and her family for a traditional Balinese meal in their family compound. You’ll taste a variety of authentic dishes such as Putu’s grilled eggplant with tomato, grilled fish with Balinese sambal (chili sauce), a curry dish (either chicken, fish or vegetarian) or perhaps a variety of pepes (foods seasoned with local spices, wrapped in banana leaves and then steamed), ranging from fish, chicken or tofu to banana savory (made with the root of the banana plant) as well as a sweet version with made with fresh coconut. She might make gado gado (vegetables in peanut sauce), rendang (an Indonesian curry), sayur urab (vegetables with fresh shredded coconut), or bregedel (corn fritters). The meal will end with something sweet, perhaps Putu’s black rice pudding with fresh coconut cream and fresh palm sugar, or her famous banana cake with lemon-butter cream. When in season, you will enjoy organic produce straight from the local trees.
