Built on the
success of Bumbu Bali, Restaurant & Cooking School, we
continued with our efforts to bring Balinese food another
step closer to the interested gourmet traveler and to people
who enjoy sampling the delightful flavors of Bali. Only a
few hundred meters away from Bumbu Bali within Rumah Bali
we crafted in a magnificent Balinese setting a market restaurant
where each building was designed following the principals
of ancient Balinese architecture.
We transformed each pavilion into a kitchen or each kitchen
into a restaurant, and as a result while guest enjoy their
dinner they will also be entertained by our market chefs with
the preparation of the many secret recipes. Imagine sitting
in the midst of a Balinese village market and enjoy the best
dishes our island has to offer, and at the same time be confident
to sit in a perfectly clean and save environment.
Each pavilion is dedicated to one specific type of food, and
together we will tell you the entire story of food culture
in Bali.
If the markets are completely in ladies
control, then the warong is the domain of Bali’s
men. Here one stops after a morning in the field for a snack
and a coffee and of course a smoke. A warong is always the
right place for a snack, a chat and a cigarette. |
