editor’s note
Small Plates, Big Pleasure “From small plates to large platters, Spanish food is the flavour of the moment,” says food writer, Elizabeth Meryment. Whether it’s dark little bars hidden in the alleyways or a crowded room on eat street, the idea of delicious food in small portions, ideal for sharing, fits perfectly with our love of socialising over a casual meal. Eating communally vividly reflects the dynamic relationship between people and food; it connects humanity, and is a basic element of human life, yet its social significance is often overlooked. We are essentially social creatures, many of us choosing to live within communities of neighbours, friends and family, and this understanding fits the concept of tapas as a social dish to be enjoyed with beloved friends and families. Our Musings article (p.22) takes us on the trail of tapas –sharing fascinating legends, and exploring how and why this Spanish phenomenon has gone global; while our trip to La Finca, BatuBelig (p.38,) uncovers delicious, authentic Spanish Mediterranean heritage cuisine right here in Bali. In this issue we also feature the newest bakery/café in town, Livingstone (p.26,) savour street-style pizza at Pronto in Kuta, (p. 30,) then drop by Akame, near Benoa, for an afternoon of fishing, great Chinese food and a camel ride into the Mangrove Forest (p.34.) Our culinary journey continues to a place of wellbeing, healing and good food at Taman Taksu Garden Café, Ubud (p. 42,) and onto the elegant surrounds of the Regent, Bali where we savour a traditional Indonesian dinner on the Sanur seafront (p 16.) Of course food alone, no matter how tasty, will never be enough, so we also indulge in sensational cocktails at

the stylish Pullman Legian Nirwana Bali, where we discover three atmospheric bars in which to enjoy them, (p. 54,) and fly to Fiji for a castaway fantasy in this month’s Hungerlust feature (p. 62.) “We all eat, and it would be very sad to waste of opportunity to eat badly,” says Anna Thomas. So let’s make sure to make the most of opportunities to eat good food with good friends.

Expect to see some common Indonesian dishes like Mix Satay or Oxtail Soup and prepare to be delighted by their presentation. Served on a wooden tray, the Mix Satay displays Seafood Satay Lilit, Chicken Satay and Beef Satay slowly grilling on a mini ceramic platter with burning charcoal to keep the meat warm. On a separate, equally stylish tray, the Oxtail Soup comes on a wok-shaped dish, with boiled vegetables and sections of oxtail, alongside a stack of Melinjo Crackers and Sambal Hijau condiments. While you’re wondering where the actual soup is, the waiter carries over a teapot and asks whether you would like him to pour the soup from the teapot over the oxtail or if you would prefer to do it yourself. Made with Australian oxtail, the soup tastes as authentic as that of my childhood memories, with the soft textures of oxtail and perfectly cooked vegetables that mix well with warm jasmine rice.

the essential
awesome
Olives
Olives are technically classified as fruits of the olea europea tree, which typically lives for hundreds of years. We commonly think of olives not as a fruit, but rather as a savoury addition to salads, meat and poultry dishes, and pizza, and, of course, when it comes to classic tapas, its hard to beat a bowl of zesty olives.
The colour of an olive is not necessarily related to its state of maturity. Some olives start off green and remain green when fully ripe, while others start black and remain black.
In traditional herbal medicine practices, preparations from olives and olive leaves are used in the treatment of inflammatory problems, including allergy-related inflammation.
Olives are too bitter to be eaten right off the tree and must be cured to reduce their intrinsic bitterness.
Stop osteoporosis! An olive phytonutrient that has long been linked to cancer prevention is now regarded as having the potential to help prevent bone loss as well.
Stay young and pretty! Olives are rich in antioxidants which help reduce the visible signs of ageing.

must try Pepperoni Pizza
26 let’s eat!
Street Style Pizza Pronto Pizza lives up to its name by delivering quicklymade and freshly baked street-style pizza for each and every customer. Located on the ground floor of Kutabex Mall, just near the entrance of the famous Poppies Lane 1, this is fast becoming one of Kuta’s favourite pizza joints. I make it right on time to see co-owner and pizza maker extraordinaire, Giuseppe Amorotti, pull out a large pan of freshly baked pizza from the oven. After serving it to Russian customers for brunch, he sits down and chats with us. “I come from Barletta, Italy where I owned a bakery and restaurant for many years. Bali is my favourite destination and I’ve been coming here over the years. When my brother, Michele came up with the idea of opening an authentic Italian street-style pizza joint in Kuta, I decided to make it happen, and so here I am,” explains Giuseppe, before leaving us with a promise of Pronto’s signature pizza. Five minutes later, a large pan of Quatro Formaggi is placed on our table. The quintessential Italian pizza is thin, and topped with a balanced amount of tomato sauce and four types of cheese: mozzarella, gorgonzola, cheddar cheese and parmesan. The crust is crispy and perfectly baked while the cheese has enough body to make it easy to tear but still has that delicious gooey texture.

Quatro Formaggi
Pepperoni comes next, garnished generously with thinly sliced tasty salami and mozzarella. Calzone, a classic folded pizza with simple tomato sauce and mozzarella is our last order, and proves once again that pizzas in Pronto should be eaten quickly and casually. The tiny pizza joint has 22 seats at the back and another eight at its front, inside the mall. They also do deliver in the Kuta area. Giuseppe is involved every step of the way, from mixing the dough, to rolling it, to preparing the freshest toppings and expertly sliding the sizzling hot pizza from the oven to the table. In short, Pronto Pizza is fast food in the very best sense. Eve

the newest The Baker’s Steak Sandwich
30 let’s eat!
New to Petitenget, Livingstone is a stylish cafe and bakery housed in a two story building with the convenience of ample parking space. Entering through its large doors, we are welcomed with the aroma of freshly baked bread and the scent of brewing coffee.
It’s hard to imagine a better place to sit down and chat for hours with close friends than at this airy and light industrial-style eatery. Wooden furnishings meet white brick walls and black iron fixtures, in harmony with the overall concept of baking. Light jazz is playing over the speaker when I sit down in one of the wooden armchairs and make a selection of delightful dishes from the menu. While waiting for my order to arrive, I take a quick look at
Strawberry Coffee
the bakery display near the entrance, and mentally note down which bread I will take home with me. “We have new creations every two weeks, and the breads, cakes and pastries that you see here are all baked daily,” explains Herdi Giri, the head pastry chef who has long experience working on cruise ships and delicatessens. Livingstone is a collaboration of restaurant entrepreneurs and experienced chefs. “Much like our logo - the bird feasting on a grain of wheat - we hope Livingstone is becoming a place to celebrate life through good food and good company,” states the manager, Mario.

Chocolate Fallen Cake
Tomato, Bocconcini & Avocado Salad opens my lunch feast. Served in a large white bowl, the salad is a mix of tomato, avocado, rocket, olives, basil and cold bocconcini cheese with Dijon mustard & vinaigrette dressing. Next, The Baker’s Steak Sandwich, with generous slices of grilled marinated beef clasped between two halves of a toasted baguette filled with BBQ sauce, fresh rocket, homemade aioli, and caramelised onion. Served on a wooden chopping broad with crunchy fries, it is certainly enough to satisfy a baker’s big appetite. Slightly gasping for breath, I curiously gulp down Livingstone’s special drink, Strawberry Coffee, a blend of coffee and fruit made from single espresso and a classic milkshake recipe. The result is something of a wonder, a cooling concoction of sweet and bitter. I close my feast with Chocolate Fallen Cake, a decadent chocolate cake with chocolate oozing from its midriff. When I’m done, there is not a drop of chocolate, raspberry coulis or Bourbon vanilla ice cream left on the plate. A raucous laugh from a group of ladies near my table wakes me up from my satiated daze. Looking at them, it is clear that Livingstone has successfully becomes the place it wants to be: a place for celebration. Eve

Salon Culinaire: Real Food for the Real Expert It was a celebration of the love of food as Unilever Food Solution (UFS) presented a welcoming dinner for Salon Culinaire, 2014. This warm dinner was part of the Food Hotel Tourism Expo (FHT) in Nusa Dua, one of the biggest tourism exhibitions in Bali. Exotic live jazz accompanied by the ocean breeze at Nelayan, The Laguna Luxury Collection fused the greetings from culinary experts. It was the second night of FHT 2014, when UFS held a special welcoming dinner for all judges and committee members of Salon Culinaire 2014, which was opened by Bp. Thomas Agus Pamudji as UFS Managing Director. The next day, UFS staged a competition called “Individual Inspiring Hot Cooking Challenge” which participants from all over Indonesia and South East Asia joined. Vindex Tengker, UFS brand ambassador and UFS Chef Executive Aldhi Adhena both took part as judges. “Inspiring dish” was the main concept of the competition. “It’s all about using regular ingredients to create new tastes, with new techniques and to present the food in new ways that might inspire others,” said the judges. On this rapturous day, finally Bernardus Denny Sumarko of Teatro Gastroteque became the champion of the competition.

Pisang Keju
Akame Restaurant is located just before the entrance to Bali’s toll road at Benoa, offering great Chinese-style seafood, fishing lakes and camel rides. This region is well known for fishing, and one third of Akame is taken up by an outdoor lake surrounded by gazebos and a main dining area. Guests have the option to catch their own lunch directly from the lake and have it prepared by the kitchen, or try their luck for bigger fish in a different area. If fishing is not your cup of tea, maybe take a camel ride along a sandy track, which will give you the feeling of being in the Middle East but with shady tropical trees. When lunch time rolls around, Chef Umar, with his extensive culinary background offers delicious meal options made with fresh vegetables and seafood. He likes to describe the menu as “Chinese Peranakan food,” as the restaurant was originally famous for this local-style of seafood cooking, although these days he has shifted towards more modern, yet creative seafood preparations with a story behind every dish.

Grapes The of Gods Bali, with its tropical climate is not really known as a place to grow grapes and produce wine, and most people don’t realise that there has been a vineyard in the north of Bali for decades. This is the story of Hatten Wines, built by one man’s vision and his faith in locally grown grapes.
46 let’s eat!
www.letseatmag.com
A recipient of the Wine Pioneer Award for Southeast Asia in 2011, Ida Bagus Rai Budarsa, the founder of Hatten Wines, comes from a family with a long history of professional commercial distillery. Grape growing in Bali is a distinctive process. The tropical climate provides a certain challenge for year - long harvesting and production, and instead of the usual once a year standard practice, the vineyard is able to have three harvests per year. Using three grapes variants: Probolinggo Biru, Alphonse LavallĂŠe and the Belgian Muscat; Hatten Wines successfully produces wines that are suitable for the hot steamy weather, and also pair well with the wonderfully rich cuisine of Indonesia. The green and scenic vineyards in Singaraja, deserves a special visit. Reaching the 34.5 hectares of vineyard owned and operated by Hatten Wines is a wonderful driving experience in itself, starting with the road to Lovina and onto Pemuteran on the north coast. Succulent black grapes hang from trellises to form pergolas, which are used to shade the grapes as well as the workers who work in the vineyard and live in the surrounding area. Most of the workers are from the town of Sanggalangit and small villages around Singaraja.

Bar Supervisor “School is overrated. I learn the art and craft of bartending while working at the bar, talking to the customers, trying to open their minds, and concocting new drinks for them,” states Ari. He took leave from his hospitality college and does not intend to come back anytime soon. This regional Diageo award-winner bartender got interested in the job when he tried his juggling ability in flair bartending competition. “What I love most about bartending is its endless possibilities. There will always be things to learn and new trends to catch up on,” he explains, while mixing a mean Papaya Martini. Woo Bar at W Retreat & Spa Bali Jl. Petitenget Seminyak P +62 361 473 8106

“I’m a night owl, so working behind the bar seemed like a good job for me,” says Budiman “Tom” Atmaja, a Jakartan who learned about bartending through endless research. He began working as bar boy in Kemang, and eventually ended up in Jakarta’s prestigious bar and restaurant, Loewy. “I met two mentors there, Kiki Moka and Harley Gunarwan, who successfully poisoned me with their passion for mixing and bartending,” explains the cheerful bartender while mixing a killer beer frappe.

can certainly think of worse ways to spend a sunny afternoon in Bali than bar-hopping at a stylish resort on the Legian seafront, sampling newly-introduced cocktails. Encircling lush tropical gardens, the seven
buildings of Pullman Legian Nirwana are designed to mimic the gentle curve of a frangipani, lending a certain softness to this spacious contemporary resort. We start our afternoon sojourn in the breezy G Bar (Garden Bar,) nestled between a picturesque swimming pool and leafy gardens. Dappled afternoon sunlight filters through the palms, and guests lounge on deck chairs, and in the pool sipping cocktails in a vision of holiday bliss. We perch ourselves under a burgundy sunbrella and are served Frozen Strawberry Margaritas – lush crimson towers of Tequila, strawberry liqueur, Triple Sec and fresh strawberries – an ideal complement to the balmy setting. The Mango Burst
makes a lovely non-alcoholic alternative with its thick blend of strawberries, mango and orange juice.

Once known as the Cannibal Isles, ancient Fijians chiefs had a penchant for feasting on human flesh; thankfully those days are over and modern travellers are treated to copious amounts of fresh fish and seafood, root crops like cassava and yams, and plenty of kava – the mildly narcotic national drink of Fiji.
