Bali is one of the 34 provinces of the Republic of Indonesia and has become the prime holiday destination in Indonesia as well as one of the major holiday destinations for international tourists. The island is located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east, and divided into 9 districts (8 regencies and 1 municipality) with population around four million people. Denpasar is the capital and most populous city of Bali. The vast majority of the Balinese people are Hindu so there are a significant number of temples on the island. Temple or Pura in Indonesian is the place for worship, and the biggest, most important and holiest temple in Bali is the Mother Temple of Besakih. Bali has a tropical climate all year with average temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and two different seasons.

Situated right next to Bali, Lombok unspoiled atmosphere of vintage tropical paradise might remind its visitors of Bali a couple decades ago. It is a developing tourism destination which proven by the recently-refurbished International Airport located in the city of Praya, serving regular flight to and from several cities of Java and the island of Bali, as well as neighboring countries of Malaysia and Singapore, the island also accessible by boat from Bali, Flores and Sumbawa. Lombok has a rich and enduring indigenous culture that has withstood the pressures of modernity remarkably well. 85% of the island inhabitants are composed by indigenous Sasak people whose origins are thought to have arisen from Java in the first millennium BC. Other residents include an estimated 10–15% Balinese, with the small remainder being Tionghoa-peranakan, Javanese, Sumbawanese and Arab Indonesians. Besides the widely-known spots of interest such as Senggigi Beach, Mount Rinjani and the Gili clusters, there are numerous fascinating underrated spots to see around the island, including Kuta Beach (not to be confused with the legendary one in Bali) on the Southern side, or the magnificent Tangsi Beach a.k.a ‘Pink beach’ at Eastern Lombok, named for the gorgeous pink sand covering its entire shoreline. In the central Lombok, you can opt to visit Selong Belanak beach, a secluded shoreline area with soft white-sand surrounded by lush greenery. With abundance natural and cultural wonders to relish, Lombok is a piece of admirable getaway for those who look for a relaxing tropical vacation.

Heritage Ori g i n Di s h ; Lombok’s Ayam Pelalah
O
riginally came from Bali, ayam pelalah or spicy bruised chicken has become one of Lombok’s staple traditional dishes. Slightly different from its heritage counterparts, Lombok’s ayam pelalah is served in a plate, dipped in liquid peanut sauce with half-sliced green lime as a compliment. This dish is best enjoyed with a plate of hot white rice or lontongcompressed rice that is then cut into small cake-like shape. The history of ayam pelalah expansion to Lombok begins on the era of war between Selaparang Kingdom of Lombok with Karangasem kingdom of Bali. Selaparang then seeks aid from Taliwang Kingdom
of Sumbawa as a third party to persuade and negotiate with Karangasem Kingdom so the war didn’t break out further and cause more casualties than it is. Taliwang brings with them some of their best chef to handle the logistics, stationed at Karang Taliwang region. As time passed, the Taliwang chef blends with local Sasak tribe and create a new menu which consists a combination of both island’s flavor. The new spicy, rich flavored ayam pelalah chicken dish emerged and become one of the most favorite meals for soldiers, citizens and kings alike, and at later time, transformed into Lombok’s ayam taliwang.
