Real Culinary Experience

On this tour, you’ll learn as much about zesty Indonesian dishes as the luscious landscape that provides the ingredients. Before your cooking class at the Bali Asli restaurant, you’ll visit a nearby village and try a drink made from Indonesia’s favorite crop.

This tour begins at the Bali Asli restaurant. From there, you’ll take a trek to to Pangi Village to taste local tuak wine. It’s made from a mash of glutinous rice along with ragi, a type of cereal crop that produces the enzyme that makes fermentation possible. Your stop at the village includes a break for morning coffee or tea, and an easygoing stroll along the river and through the scenic rice fields. In the late morning, you’ll return to Bali Asli for a cooking class. Bali Asli’s classes have a very hands-on approach – instead of just following a recipe, you’ll learn about how the chefs get their ingredients, many of which come from the restaurants own garden. Finally, you’ll taste the fruits (and veggies) of your labor with a sumptuous lunch.
