editor’s note
I remember a hot Sunday afternoon sharing good times and good laughs in the back garden of my friend’s crib, where she hosted us for a barbecue. The sun was shining bright, our plates were piled with sizzling hot tasty ribs and our icy cold glasses of lemonade soon needed refills. Talking about barbecue always makes me remember all the great weekends I have shared with my loved ones. I like barbecues too, because it gives me the chance to experiment with my own style of grilling and mixing ingredients. I think it is safe to say that barbecuing allows us to unleash our “inner chef”, and whatever the end result, barbecue time is always fun to have! In our Musings feature this month we explore the traditions and origins of barbecuing, which some believe date back nearly two million years. We also indulge in a feast of classic American-style barbecue at Wild Orchid Restaurant, Anantara, Seminyak (p.38) and sample Bali’s signature dish, Babi Guling in Gianyar (p.46). Island Life this month takes up over to Jogjakarta and the factory of Camilla Mozzarella, where we spend a fascinating day with a master cheesemaker, and eat lots of cheese (p.42). Back in Sanur we sip cocktails on the beach at the newly renovated Bamboo Bar and Grill (p.58), and also take a trip to the Marine Safari Park to dine under the watchful eye of lions. Please make sure to read our fascinating interview with Andrew Lam, author of East Eats West, and a special guest at this year’s Ubud Writers and Readers Festival (p.52). Once again we would like to thank everyone who attended our fabulous BIG FEAST event that celebrated our 5th anniversary and the launch of our online reservation system at www.letseatmag.com. Read our full rundown of the day’s events on (p.30) With our passion for food and our great respect to those who gave their dedication and inspiration for this wonderful event, we salute you and hope to

local cuisine
Under theTree It is a rare treat to be able to enjoy authentic Balinese cuisine, cooked and prepared with Western sensibilities, yet this is what we discover at Warung Blanjong which stands under the shade of frangipani trees on the busy Sanur Blanjong intersection. A big, warm smile from Komang, the matron of the establishment seals the warung as truly Balinese. As we sit down on our cosy teak chairs and rest our backs, a fragrant aroma of heated coconut oil is wafting from the kitchen. It is a tell-tale sign that we are in the right place to eat Balinese food. Warung is what we usually call a roadside stall selling ready-to-serve dishes and
Roroban
snacks. However, this warung is nothing like that reference, but rather an open-air and elegant coconut wooden pavilion. It is said that fifteen years ago, Ketut Mariani, the local entrepreneurial spirit behind the inception of this place wanted to have a restaurant where visitors could try her family recipes. All the dishes would be made from scratch, freshly sourced everyday

As I slurp my Roroban, a soup made of vegetables, ginger and coconut cream, I feel that she has succeeded in her mission.

Nasi Campur
The Nasi Campur is one of the most delightful assortments of Balinese cuisine I have ever tasted. A harmony of fried peanuts, fried shredded coconut, corn fritter, shredded chicken in raw onion sambal, fish in yellow sauce, sweet fried tempeh and mixed vegetables. It is a generous, lightly spiced and carefully balanced meal, truly a solid introduction to Balinese cuisine. I manage to try my friend’s order of Pepes Be Pasih too, a steamed fish in banana leaves, and Sate Lilit Ayam, perfectly seasoned and slightly

charred, just like it supposed to be. Finally, Komang serves our dessert, a bowl of Bubur Injin, black sticky rice with coconut milk. It is sweet and just slightly salty. We lick the bowl clean, so to speak. A group of visitors are arriving at the warung, just as we are leaving. They are going to join the cooking class, held in the warung by special appointment. I can tell for sure, that they are in for a serious Balinese treat. Eve

Pork Ribs at Naughty Nuri’s
The origin of the actual word barbecue is easier to find, with a path leading back to the arrival of Spanish explorers on the West Indian island of Hispaniola in the 17th century. Here they discovered local Arawakan Indians drying meat on a frame of wooden sticks erected over an open fire. While many cultures around the world preserved meat through the process of sun drying, the Arawakans had learned that smoky fires kept the bugs away and helped preserve the flesh. They called these wooden frames barbacòa, and used them to slow smoke fish, game, lizards and alligator at low temperature. The Spanish quickly adopted the practice, but preferred to actually cook the meat rather than preserve it. Across South America the tradition of “Al Asador” still continues today – with a full animal carcass splayed on a metal cross and cooked near wood coals. The 8 Hour Wood Fired Asado served daily at Barbacoa on Jalan Batubelig is a great example. The practice of spit roast is similar, with an entire animal – often a pig – cooked slowly, rotisserie-style over a flame. Bali’s famous babi guling sees suckling pig stuffed and infused with a spicy seasoning of turmeric, coriander seeds, lemongrass, black pepper and garlic, then spit-roasted. Warung Babi Guling Sanur, and Ibu Oka’s, Ubud are great places to sample this delicacy. Bali is also well-known for its nightly Jimbaran fish barbecue, with fresh-off-the-boat seafood marinated in traditional spices and grilled over coconut husks right on the beach. Other ways to get a barbecue fix on the island include, Naughty Nuri’s with spicy ribs grilled on a sidewalk barbecue, traditional satay ayam (chicken satay) from the night markets, the Friday night poolside Aussie BBQ at Pullman Legian, Nirwana in Kuta, and American-style Smokehouse BBQ at Anantara. Persian barbecue is served up at Passargad, Seminyak

food market opens after midday but it’s best to wait till it’s about 4pm when the area is packed with food carts. In the market, there are several carts selling babi guling – suckling pig, Balinese traditional cakes, serombotan - hot and spicy mixed vegies, and various chicken dishes.
A bottle of loloh cemcem made in Penglipuran village in Bangli Regency, which is located around 20km from Gianyar, is sold by a hawker at the main gate. This traditional green potion is made of local cemcem leaf. Loloh cem-cem is the most famous drink from Bangli,

Before leaving the market I buy some tiny packages of traditional cakes. Just looking at the cart full of colourful cakes raises my appetite, a plethora of sweet delicacies made from many different ingredients, such as cassava flour, rice flour, glutinous rice, banana and coconut, all available at one wooden cart. This assortment of packages accompanies my trip to Ubud. Ubud is the home of arts in the island. Many legendary painters and carvers spent their lives creating beautiful artworks here. One of them is I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, a legendary painter and carver whose artwork is on display at many museums abroad. I went to visit Lempad’s house, just to the east of Puri Saren Ubud, (Ubud palace.) Flowers and green vegetation create a fresh atmosphere, and the compound, where the family of the legendary painter still live, is heavy with cultural ambience. The works of the maestro, who was born in 1862 in

traditional recipe
b Oret Taluh b Oret is a pork dish that looks like sausage. There are two versions of the dish which originated in the Gianyar Regency, located in the center of the island, which are oret getih made of pig’s blood, and oret taluh made with egg. Oret getih has a dark red colour and the oret taluh is usually a pale yellow. The texture of this dish is soft and thick, while the flavour is heavy with hot spices. Oret can be found in Gianyar market at the stalls selling babi guling – suckling pig.

Chef Battle! Bali is graced by the talent of these two experienced chefs. Over one delightful afternoon, we were able to chat with Chef Goda Katsumi of Grand Nikko Bali and Chef Masahiko Morikawa of Padma Resort Bali at Legian. Here, they reveal the most unusual things they have ever eaten, and their secrets for enjoying Japanese cuisine.
Q: What is your favourite food to cook at home? Chef Goda: I usually cook rice, miso soup and thick fried eggs. They are necessary to train my palate and keep it sensitive to flavour. Chef Masahiko: I love traditional Japanese food, and

Chef Goda: I love to eat everywhere, tasting everything. Most of the time, I will say ‘no sambal’ but otherwise I enjoy every spice and flavour in my meal. Chef Masahiko: I haven’t got the time to go out a lot, but I am discovering Indonesian cuisine, dish by dish and I love it!
Q: What do you think of Bali now, culinary-wise, or more specifically Japanese cuisine-wise?
Chef Goda: It’s very lively and I love the variation of Japanese restaurants available, from street food-style to the real, authentic restaurants. There is only one problem, the limited variety of Japanese ingredients. Chef Masahiko: So many choices from all over the world. There are various kinds of Japanese restaurants here which I find interesting. Some are not really authentic Japanese, but I suppose they are following the local taste. I wish we could import Japanese seasoning and sauces more easily!
charcoal. Chef Masahiko : Steak, grilled to medium rare with salt, pepper, mustard and soy sauce.
Q: What is the most unusual food that you have ever eaten?
Chef Goda: That would be snake, crocodile and once, even dog! Chef Masahiko: Frog. It’s my pet peeve and to eat it was the worst kind of experience!
Q: Last question, do you have any advice on how to eat well, Japanese style?
Chef Goda: Don’t take too much salt, too much sweet and too much chilli. That way, you will have a long, healthy life. Chef Masahiko: Taste everything and incorporate seaweed to your diet. Aside for being healthy, it adds an exquisite flavour to your eating experience. Text by Eve

Arak Bamboo
Tortilla Spring Rolls
Only premium spirits are used, even the Arak in the very popular signature arak cocktails, is made with premium Arak Bali. My Arak Bamboo is excellent, with a wonderful depth of flavour from brown sugar, ginger, lemongrass lime and pineapple liqueur. Classic cocktails, Belgian beers and a small selection of wine are also available, and prices are way less than you would pay in Seminyak, especially if you come for What’s Up Happy hour from 5 – 6 daily with ‘Buy one get one free on certain drinks.’ Snacks include Indonesian-influenced Mini Pizzas such as Beef Rendang, Fish Satay, and our choice, spicy Chicken Betutu with a piquant sambal matah. I also enjoy the Tortilla Spring Rolls stuffed with vegetables and Balinese herbs, and covered in melted mozzarella, with guacamole for dipping, and a fragrant Thai-style Larb Gai with spicy lime dressing. The tasty, crispy-based pizza from the Larb Gai
newly constructed wood-fired oven is also served full size and makes a great take away option; but with a minimum spend of just RP 200,000, djs from 6pm, and good-value cocktails you may as well eat in and enjoy the vibe. Alison
